More new toys have arrived... Hurrah!
I am going to treat these as birthday presents... mostly because its my birthday...
More Romans... This time from A&A...
https://www.aandaminiatures.co.uk/
There are some Armoured Archers, Unarmoured Camelry and some Infantry from their 4th Century range... which are rather nice ... I thought I might push the Roman forces a bit closer to the turn of the (4th) century so I can indulge in some civil war stabby-ness...with two slightly different looking forces...these guys are wearing a more Germanic looking Plumed Spangenhelm...which fits in with the on going Germanisation of the Roman Army's of this period .
I also got some Fire Forge plastic spears/lances...
I love these... I have used them throughout this collection... I only wish they had Pila/Pilums...
Mine came from North Star...

Well done that man...another year younger! And great toys. I do like the look of those plastic lances... I can see many a use for them.
ReplyDeleteThank you Mark...
DeleteThe plastic lances are indeed very useful...
All the best. Aly
Lovely birthday present, I do like the A and A miniatures, I possibly still have around thirty to complete and my 4th century army is completely painted. Although thinking about some western limitani/ legions now plus more Goths!
ReplyDeleteDid not know about the spears must look at that
Cheers
Matt
Thank you Matt...
DeleteYou do know that nothing is completely painted 😁
All the best. Aly
Many Happy Returns Of The Day .
ReplyDeleteThank you Tony.
DeleteAll the best. Aly
Happy belated birthday Aly in these undoubtedly strange times!
ReplyDeleteI wish you happiness, health, fun and everything you wish for, and hope the covid situation will end soon and you will have an opportunity to meet and play wargames with the others!
As to the minis a great birthday treat! I looked at their website and especially like the camels. Pity they don't sell these separate as it would be great to put the Arab riders on them and use them for my 1st crusade project... But well...taking into account my addiction I might get them anyway ;-)
All the best,
Jan
Thank you Jan...
DeleteYes it’s going to be nice when we can get back to playing with our toys...
If you are going to get the camels anyway... you may as well start a 4th Century Roman project as well ... you know you want to...😁
All the best. Aly
Not a bad idea to have them painted and fly over to Nottingham for a game ;-)
DeleteShiny new toys are a must in the current climate never mind if it's your Birthday! :>)
ReplyDeleteI took the liberty of opening the image in a new tab and noticed tha Clubmen, which you're going to need against all those Cats and Clibs!
Oh! Yes...
DeleteWhat’s not to love about a bunch of Palestinian club men...
All the best. Aly
More lovely shiny stuff, what's not to like about 4th century Roman's and camels, happy belated birthday, you share it with my godson who is now 40!
ReplyDeleteBest Iain
Thank you Iain.
DeleteIt was clearly a good day to be born... we share it with Andre the Giant.
All the best. Aly
