They are a mix of the Gripping Beast plastics, some Old Glory mixed barbarians (that I think might be mostly Scots from a slightly later era, but seem to do OK as generic Gothic foot types) with a few Foundry and Footsore figures sprinkled in to make the variety greater.
Romans prepare to take on the (as yet un-Army-Paintered) barbarian hordes
12 units of barbarians.... let;s hope the Romans are Elite!
Auxilia, with obligatory LBMS shield transfers
The man holding up the shield is one of the "far too many in the pack" Gripping Beast archers, but converted to hold his shield up to cover his colleague from archery
Some of the "far too many" archers acting as, well, archers. I went away from the textbook red colour scheme to make them more exotic.
Still awaiting Testors Dullcote varnish on this lot
A Degenerate Legionary unit with an old-school standard
I think the officer may be a Footsore Miniatures Romano-British figure
Cloaks at the ready...
Foundry armoured cavalry. Probably able to play as Cataphracts as well at a pinch. I used some spare GB plastic spears as their lances, as they are pretty robust and the Foundry metal ones are far too bendy. They don't yet have Army Painter on them
More LBMS shield transfers....
Warlord Games 'Unleash Hell' General and Dog
Again, needing a coat of Dullcote. His skintone is just a wash with Peat Brown ink.
Hopefully I will find time to put a big dent in getting them all table-ready over the festive break...
