Legio Quinta Macedonica

 I have recently completed the second unit for my  Byzantine forces, with possibly the prettiest shields in the Notitia Dignitatum one just has to have the Quinta in ones army.

All figures are from the beautiful new Early Byzantine range from Aventine Miniatures, the detail that Adam incorporates is amazing, although it does add to the painting time :~)

I have also incorporated the separate base of archers for my earlier unit onto to the base to match the Quinta, I think it looks better.







I currently have some Perry Miniatures WWII Germans for the Italian Front in progress, these will complete the platoon then its on with the Americans.

Keep safe, KBO and TTFN

    Definitely a 10 out of 10...
    Beautiful work indeed...

    Would they have fought the Vandals?

    All the best. Aly

    Nice work...Phil ,colourful unit and good looking base. The majority of my ancient figures are still on individual bases so I have a bit more flexibility.

      Thank you Matt, we only use two rule sets and are not likely to change so flexibility isn't an issue.

      Thank you Iain. They are indeed wonderful figures, very tempted by the Sassanids for next years project.

      Thank you Phil. Those LBMS shield transfers are a God send, I remember having to paint all the shields on my Minifigs late Romans.

    Oh! Love those! Excellent work and I agree on the bases looking better with the archers. Only disagree on the shields. Ioviani Seniores look way cooler 😎

    Thank you Nick, the Ioviani may be cool but they are not pretty;~)
