I am sourcing my Late Imperial Roman figs ~( Early 300AD) and have looked at www.magistermilitum.com. The poses etc fit my requirments. As I have never seen this make on the gaming table. I understand they are close to Essex.

Has any one any suggestions. My preference is for the more "chunky" 15mm figs.. I use to have some early donningtons (royalists) which I remember of this type.

Unfortunately Xyston do not make Late Imperial Romans yet

Thanks

Magister Militum sell the old Chariot range, they are IMO very nice but not at all chunky.

Donningtons do make Late Imperial Romans and their figures are generally chunkier than Magister Militum (former Chariot), but not as chunky as Xyston. I have a few MM Late Roman LF bowmen, which are nice figures, and a few Donnington on a command stand, most of which are chunky but one isn't. The main problem with MM figures (that I have for other armies) is the javelins are very thin, probably historically accurate scale but they are too flimsy. I've found their slingers a bit flimsy too. For anything else they are fine.

Nigel,

If you want to see Chariot figures have a look at my AARs in the AAR section. All my Roman infantry are from MM (Chariot). They are Mid Republican Roman but might give you an idea of how they look in general. Overall I like them and would recommend them. Also MM is great to deal with, good communication and friendly.
