Aventine EIR Auxiliary Archers

Ordered these several weeks ago, but wanted to work on the ECW figures first. The EIR army finally has some proper missile troops.

Two small units each of Eastern and Western types. Actually, it seems only the helmets are different from each other. They're mounted on 25mm Litko rounds and in Litko skirmish trays.
These are very nicely sculpted figures and a good size match for Victrix EIR plastics. A bit on the taller/larger side of 28mm.
I'll probably add some artillery to the army someday, but have some more ECW stuff in the queue. Thank you so much again for stopping by and checking out the blog. Best wishes to you all in your hobby pursuits and good health as well.

    Aventine figures are some of the best. The fine sculpting really shines through with your fab brushwork. I love 'em, Dean!

    28mm isn't really my scale, but these are wonderful looking figures. The proportion is there and of course, the painting is superb. These will look good as part of an army on the table.

    Having the helmets is different metallic hues provides a subtle yet effective variation to the overall color scheme.

      Thanks so much! I usually mix Vallejo Copper and Bronze for "bronze" and then in varying ratios for highlighting. Kindest regards, Dean
