15mm PunicRomans: Cromarty Forge Hastati




Here are some beautiful printed figures from Cromarty Forge, the first printed figures I have ever painted. They are available from The Plastic Soldier company in the UK and Excellent Minis in Europe- I bought from the latter. Actually the best place to see detailed pictures is on the Cromarty Forge website.

They are a little tricky to cut out (you need to get the shields out first) but lovely to paint. The issue, and it's a small one, is with the shields. The detailing is microscopically raised so difficult to pick out with paint with any accuracy. If someone made decals or transfers that fitted these shields then that would be perfect – I wrote to Steven Hales at LBMS but have not heard from him.

Highly recommended and next up on this project will be some Numidian cavalry. Impetus basing.
