Italian allies Javelin men


These six figures were painted to make up the numbers for a unit of Velites we need for the Roman army for Cynoscephalae. In fact, they are the first figures to be painted for my Italian allies forces for the Punic Roman army. I have bought and based most of the two forces I need (one unit will be more Roman looking, one more Samnite) but have had to put this project on hold until after the Society of Ancients Games Day next month. I haven't given them shields to differentiate them from the regular Roman Velites.
