Warlord Praetorian Guard - One Unit Completed

Even though I ordered enough blue shield decals for both boxes of figures, I decided to use the red set that came with one of the boxes. This way the two units will be a little different looking, while still somewhat uniform (armor-wise).
The second unit is still awaiting the missing helmeted heads, as well as the blue shield decals. Otherwise they are also completed.
I may order the Optio pack and add one to each unit to bring them up to 21-man units. This way they can be in three ranks of 7 figures - for WAB 2.0.

    Thanks a lot, Roger. This being my first set of EIR (at least in 28mm), I was happy to realize they are quite simple to paint up - and the Miniwax makes them look far better than the effort put in. Granted, the shield decals really set them off too. Best, Dean

    Great looking Praetorians Dean. The Warlord Games EIR are a real joy to put together and paint.

    Those look fantastic, Dean! You've really got the dip method down.

    Dean - When you use the Miniwax, are you dipping the figures or brushing it on? The figures look great.

    Thanks for the great comments, Gents.

    Neil: Always brushed on; starting from the top of the figure (including weapons, etc.) and then flowing it downward. I try to remove excess pooling around certain areas by dabbing at the area with the brush. It's best to work in cool conditions - that way it dries slower. Best, Dean

    The Praetorians look great - I really like the shading you used and, as always, your painting quality continues to inspire.

    I still have 20 of the Warlord Praetorians to finish from the Army Box I purchased when I first got into ancients a year ago.

    I look forward to seeing them on the table
