Thread: the return of the Gallic comitatus

  1. #1

    Default the return of the Gallic comitatus

    The big winter rollback erased the thread on my comitatus project, so here is a new one, with brand new units !
    ( reminder : the gallic comitatus is actually a personnel project wich aim to "recreate" the roman army of 399 in Gaul with 20mm painted plastic figurines. One fig = 10 soldiers)

    Let's start with auxilia palatina :

    Mattiaci seniores (i love this one !!)
    Brachiati seniores
    Cornuti seniores (revamped)
    Marcomanni iuniores

    the mighty legio palatina
    Ioviani seniores
    Herculiani seniores

    the good old legio comitatenses
    Menapi seniores

    The lowest class troops
    Burgarii

    And now cavalry

    vexillatio palatina
    Comites alani
    Catafractarii
    more to come in the next weeks !!

    Beware Majorien! It may be the typical Norse deceitfulness! You give them the map of the fortifications and then .. after a while, a Drakkar comes ..

    thank you very much Diocle for those kind words !! they are still hundreds of milites in production, but it will take a loooong time : between work, family, friends and others, so little time...
    i think the next units will be an another one of castriciani and a vexillatio comitatensis, maybe the Constantiani feroces.

    Not an article about a new unit today, but the beginning of long description of books wich helped me on this project. I've got the idea with the Library topic here !(in French, even if english books are mentionned)

    Epic and fantastic work art!
    My name is John, Tribune of Legio Ripenses IX Tertiae Italica and loyal servant to the computer generated Emperor, Julianus Flavius Augustus "The Apostles". And I will have my vengeance again The Quadi tribes, barbarian scums who decimated half of my legio in Mediolanum City Siege almost a year ago and Gratianus Flavius "The Traitor", the former Caesar who convince a half of precious my legio to his petty scheme rebellion just 3 months ago in this save game or the next

    Well, hollydays, are now gone (at least for me), so i will return on my beloved project : there is at least a dozen of units in preparation...
    I've been requested many times pictures with not a miniature or a unit but with all the army. To be honest, i've never displayed all the entire army : i have two young very young kids and no room dedicated to my miniatures (or it will be the most expensive hobby of the world considering where i live ), so even letting some figs without oversight on a table is a risk i cant take !!
    But my little family is still swimming in the big blue, so i've taken some pics of a part of the army ( i think 14 units) on a quick-and-dirty dio: have fun !
