Pete Riley explains why he like to put some of his hard earned cash into new Wargaming ventures

Finished the Romans now starting on the Seleucid

Fourteen Bases, Six Mounted Figures and Forty Seven Figures. After all this time I can now properly reflect and say that I really enjoyed this process.

Our revered historian Polybius says: "The Principe's had started out carrying a long spear, but that over time they were required to carry a sword and two pila". Being kitted out in the same way as the Hastati eventually meant that the only differences between the two types were battle experience, age and wealth. 

The Thureophoroi were Hellenic (Greek) infantry that were meant to support phalanxes and provide a link between Phalangites (Pikes) and the Peltasts (Lights). 

The Roman Triarii. Solid, dependable and wealthy. Now, how do I convey that status in a paint job and keep it simple?
