Victrix EIR Command Stands And The Army To Date

Apologies for back to back posts - I probably should've waited until the the command stands were done, but wasn't sure when, or if, I would've gotten around to them. In any case, I did get them done using the previously painted mounted "generals" along with a few spare foot figures. Also added shields to the standard bearers.
The officer on the rearing white horse is flanked by a Praetorian eagle bearer and signifer. The mounted centurion has a legionary signifer and the other officer has a legionary from Legio II Augusta.
I may add another command stand using the other figures from the Mounted Generals spure - three left.
Below is the EIR army to date. A detachment (or two) of Praetorians, four units of Legionaries (12-man units), two units of Auxiliaries (also 12-man units), and two units of cavalry (8-men each). Plan to use them with Hail Caesar, but could be used for other rules as the Legionaries and cavalry are individually based.
Taking a break from EIR's for now and need to finish up the Celtic Chariots - and maybe someday get started on the Polish Lancers. Thanks again for dropping by and wishing you all good health and hobby endeavors!

    1. Thanks, Bartek! Oh, sorry, I was referring to the set of Victrix Polish Lancers (Napoleonics) that I've had for several months now - and never got back to working on them after getting started with these Romans and Celts. :) Kindest regards, Dean

    1. Thanks, Kevin! Yes, I went to phys therapy (first time in my life) last month and after a few sessions, I was able to really get a handle on my issues - I now do daily stretching & strengthening exercises which really help a lot. Best regards, Dean

  12. Nice work Dean. Do you source those sabots locally? I've been getting them from Warbases but if I can get them locally may be able to save a bit of postage.

    1. I've been using Litko for years - I've rec'd great service from them - fast responses and shipping. I usually get my orders within a week. They're having a discount mailing right now (I think for $100 and over orders). They do special orders too - and not any more expensive than catalog stuff. Best regards, Dean
