Return to the Romans


Trying to complete another project that stalled - To the Strongest 10mm Republican Romans

I needed to refocus the effort from my original plan of "mad dash to paint as many stands as possible" which obviously didn't work well.  Part of that re-focus was to pick a specific battle, organize the forces around that, then finish painting.  I decided on refighting the Battle of Trebia and found some good "To the Strongest" OOBs already defined and play-tested.  With that information I was able to plan out the rest of the necessary units for the Roman army. Needed to finish some velites units, cavalry units, leaders, and additional Triarii.  

Here’s some work-in-progress shots of the Velites and Command units.  The cavalry are primed but haven’t begun painting them just yet. 














Update - December 30th 2025 - I've completed the roman army.  The only thing remaining is the "camp", which I will finish at a later date. 

Here are some final shots.

Overhead shot - Two legios - Romans (red shields) and Allies (yellow/green shields).  Scipio Africanus Inset.

Looking forward to finally getting more TTS games in with my buddy Le Coq Fou.  Next up...gotta work on Hannibal and the Carthaginians...
