Pendraken - 10mm Late Roman Unarmoured Standing Spearmen

Hello all - another unit fresh from the photo studio. This time it is an unit of Pendraken's Late Romans (bought on Ebay a while ago so there are some "foreign" models in between) propably the ARL1 Late Roman Unarmoured Standing Spearmen. 

Ok models and quite alright to paint as there are quite a few poses and the result was, I think, alright. 

These were lucky enough to get some pretty transfers from Little Big Men for their shields. I learnt a lot by trying to apply these and the next time the result will hopefully be better - I do think that these are a bit too dark on the design to be easily viewed from afar..

Anyways hoped you enjoyed them,
Kasper

Mystery unit painted

Hello all - I finally got some free time to paint a new unit - wuhuu :-).
I'm not entirely sure what kind of models these are as they are part of an email-purchase a month back but I believe the maker is Magister Militium (Apparently they are Pendraken - late Romans) and they seem to belong somewhere between first and fifth century CE. I chose to paint them fairly generic so they can stand in for as many roles as possible in as many armies as possible. To my eyes they look like late roman auxiliaries and I tried to paint them to emphasize this aspect.

The shields was a new endeavour for me - they are transfers from Little Big Men Studios. I must admit I think they look perfect although they could be a bit brighter which would improve their visibility from afar. The procedure was a pain - at first. But after a few tries (and two crumpled transfers) I got the hang of it and although a lenghty procedure (took more than an hour for 20) it was a lot easier than painting anything remotely similar to the detailed pattern of the transfers. I recommend trying the transfers, if you have either Magister Militium or Pendraken units of the appropriate period.
Unfortunately there are only 24 of each transfer on a sheet, so due to the mishaps and having thirty models in a unit I'll have to order a new set soon so I can finish the last rank of models.


For their dragon banner I tried to stay "roman" while also playing a bit on their green celtian ties, which should make them fit into both armies.

Hope you enjoyed them and if you know the make and type I would appreciate the information!
