I looks nice. If you admit an advice, I will put some static grass. Even if is very likely that the whole camp ended up with all the grass removed, getting some green in it produces a better impression (I had to do that for the same reason).

Nice job - well done.

Hmmm...maybe I should stop painting garters and cuffs and dust off the Romans again.

i have thought about static grass around the walls and a bit in camp so its not so brown, thanks for the idea.

Looks good but it also looks way too big. The camp should be 120mm by 80mm - yours looks at least double that.

It is difficult getting something that fits on the base and looks like a fortified camp. I play in 15mm but did my Roman camp to a smaller scale. You can see it here :

the camp is 80mm b 120mm and the fortifications are the 15mm by 40mm as out lined in the book.

i see i miss read. i think i will leave it like it is because everyone we play with has made the same mistake with their fortifications.

The fortifications can still be used. Since they come off people can still measure to the camp itself, and it looks more impressive. Also a dominate Roman camp does not have to be fortified, unlike the earlier Roman armies, so its good they come off. It also gives you TF for other games.

As Phil says the Dom Roms fortified camp is not compulsary and I have never used my camp as fortified. For this army its 24pts wasted as it deploys quite wide and has LH to stop enemy LH making a dash for it.
If I were ever to use it as fortified I have some palisades which would go around it purely for cosmetic reasons. This seems to be quite common as otherwise a fortified camp looks a bit puny.
