Finished at last!

Legions I and III (Unofficial names, since MRR legions didn't have names - "Legio I Minervia", Legio III Victrix")



Legions II, IV and V plus Roman cavalry (Unofficial legion names - "Legio II Augusta", "Legio IV Jovia" and "Legio V Italica")



Italian auxliaries



Total army - nearly 5 feet across.



Now to complete the Carthaginian army.

Very nice! Those shields look great. I specially like the Italians.

Very nice work.

Where are the figures from?

All of the foot are Xyston and all the cavalry, including the generals are Essex

Thanks, Stephen.

Nicely done.

How many points is that? I know it depends on how you rate the legion, but just out of interest, what have you built it as?

I didn't mean to ignore your question. I missed the fact that posts had been made and only saw the question by accident.

I don't build to a points value but to provide flexibility for campaign or scenario play.

But assuming that legions I and II are veteran (colour coded for my eyes with red tunics - the other legions are in white tunics), all principes and hastati with armour, protected veliates Italian MF* are average, cavalry with armour, and 4 X TC, the point total is 1022 points incl fortified camp. On the other hand, instead of max upgrades one went with poor legions, protected armour, etc., the point total is 794.

* The HF Italian BG isn't allowed with the MRR list so I haven't included it in the points total. It's been built as a BG for the Carthaginian list, but I put it in the photo because it looks good and it could be the basis for an ersatz (allied) 6th legion if needed or to substitute for as a Thureophoroi HF BG.

Fair enough. I usually build to an 'army list' and then add units later.

THanks for the reply.

Great job
