28mm early imperial Romans

How did you do the cracked mud on the bases?

Stirland mud. Then, when dry, heavy coat of Aggrellan earth.

The first paint is to create darkness between the cracks and an uneven surface which helps the crackle paint make a nicer more exaggerated effect

Past the “century” mark now!

Yes! He looks like he was designed for the army.

I also love that he has the totally non historical wrist bracelet things.

These were actually designed in the 1960s to cover up Hollywood actors wrist watch tans in the first colour sword and sandal/ biblical flicks.

I’ve always thought of this army as my “Hollywood historical” so this is perfect haha. In my head he’s some blonde haired, blue eyed Californian dude with a fantastic jaw who is playing a 1st century centurion hahha

Just got back from Canada and it seems some arsehole used my bank card to send a limited edition warlords of erewhon centurion and two mdf Roman war machines to my house. Ridiculous.


The centurion model is gorgeous btw. Very detailed and well scaled. His “Tory power stance” (Google it) pose will make fitting him on a 20mm base hard. So I’ve gotta decide what to do with him. Do I make a scenic 40mm unit filler base? Bit awkward for a unit champ. Or do I go full tactical rock?

Also…a second centurion in my collection only means one thing right? I need another 79 legionaries :joy::joy::joy::joy:
