Presented this entry is Magnate Torquatas Novellius Atticus, Army General of a late Roman Army stationed in Brittania at the end of its days as a Roman province, and Decurio Gambinius Felix, his personal standard bearer (Army Standard Bearer). Torquatas displays his political connections by way of the purple stripe on his shirt and on his personal standard. To further tie him to his standard, the orbiculi on his cape is also displayed on his draco standard. He has two character advantages, "fabricae" and "born to the purple". Fabricae represents his having control of an armory which lets most forces under his command have the light armor option for +2 points each. Born to the purple extends his command radius from 12" to 18". He is not a fighting general, he doesn't mix it up against hairy barbarians personally, he stays behind the lines inspiring the troops and directing them during a battle.
Magnate Torquata Novellius Atticus: 156 points
Equipment: sword, light armor (+3), mounted on horse (+8)
Special: Army General
Character advantages: Fabricae (+15), Born to the Purple (+30)
Decurio Gambinius Felix: 73 points
Equipment: sword, light armor (+3), mounted on horse (+8), shield (+2)
Special: Army Standard Bearer (+15)
Total Points: 229
These figures are by Footsore Miniatures, the general being modified by having his raised hand cut off and replaced with a Gripping Beast hand with sword molded to it so that he can now ride about the battlefield swinging it inspirationally!
That's it for this month, time for a Jack!
Ratwig out!
Lovely commanders! They look gorgeous on the horses!
ReplyDeleteLooking good, which reminds me I really should re-start my Assyrians
ReplyDeleteBrilliant white horse! And I love the standard bearers windsock banner, again the white is really good, especially with all the freehand. Top stuff!
ReplyDeleteReally nice work. The banner and the shield are my favourites!
ReplyDeleteThese are just brilliant - you've captured their sense of movement perfectly. Looks like they're really riding into battle!
ReplyDeleteThis month needs more spears! ;)
ReplyDeleteThese two guys look great, though
I love this project, and am a bit jealous I didn't do something similar. I had a couple of WAB armies in progress when the game sank years ago. I was tempted to start them back up this year, and maybe should have saved my Skaven for next time. I'm enjoying seeing your progress.
ReplyDeleteThat white horse is excellent. Really enjoyed the post and explanation of the leaders abilities.
