Roman Skirmish Archers

Three fresh units of skirmish bow recruited into the army.......and it's now ready to head off and defend the frontier. We're playing a Late Roman campaign at the club at the moment, so we'll see how well they perform soon. Plenty of barbarian hoards in the campaign who can't wait to get stuck in......look out you heathens ..... come get some !  :-)
Oh...their all 28mm A & A

      I was looking for some variation with the tunics without them looking overly bright and unrealistic. Thanks.

    Lovely, I love all the flourishes here! Best looking archers on the battlefield, I predict. Against barbarians, you'll need these fellows to nick the enemy so they lose their Impetus dice before they go in!

    Hahaha thanks Monty....yes dazzle them with flashy tunics is the key. Barbarian warbands are a handful, especially in large units.....you have to get rid of the back unit and score 1 VBU on the front before they loose their impetus.....hmmm maybe I need more ?? :-)

      You are correct. I forgot about the large units. That makes them even more unstoppable. Well, then, your beautiful cavalry will have to do the trick!

    There is no doubt in my mind that your army is the reason that I have got back into Impetus. It started me painting up all the A and A castings I had in the house (and ordered more). Is there any chance I can ask you for a picture of your army?

    Well done these are a inspiration!

      Very kind of you to say so.....and glad to be of help SD.
      Impetus has taken over my gaming time lately.....just a fantastic set of rules I think. I was going to take some pics of them all together soon, will post them up here when I get the time.
      Cheers
