Here's my latest unit - some Aventine Miniatures Leves for an allied legion. I've almost finished a unit of Hastati for the same legion too, but need another five shield transfers (from Little Big Men Studios of course - where else?) before they're done.
Now, what to do whilst waiting for the transfers to arrive...
I could do the Principes and Triarii for this legion, but as I'm still waiting on the transfers, I couldn't finish them either.
I'm waiting for some pre-production figures from Warlord Games for my Early Imperial Romans - I can't start those, because they haven't arrived.
I bought myself a unit of Successor Phalangites from Crusader Miniatures which I could paint. I bought them mainly so I could compare them with the Aventine figures. Height and bulk-wise they're not a bad match. They're quite nice but their necks seem a little short, they're a bit 'regimental' (i.e. all in virtually the same pose, bar for differing helmets) and the poses seem a bit stiff and 'wooden' too - but then I suppose, as they represent pikemen standing around, there isn't much opportunity for dynamic posing...
Ultimately, once Aventine get on and make some phalangites of their own, I'd expect to 'scatter' these Crusader Models around the units, to add a bit of variety. I've also got a unit of phalangites on order from Gripping Beast, with the same things in mind.
