A Quick and Dirty Review of Some 15mm Romans. First, the background. Way back in 1981, I happened to be flicking through a mate’s copy of the old WRG “Armies and Enemies of Imperial Rome”. I was rather taken by Phil Barker’s illustrations of the various Late Roman shield designs from the Notitia Dignitatum. When the book was republished later that year, I grabbed it, and continued picking up information relating to the Roman Army of the second half of the Fourth Century AD.

Over the years, I’ve painted lots of 20mm plastic figures for various wargames armies, and received compliments about the painting standard.  I have what I consider to be a simple technique for painting 20mm plastic figures, which uses the detail of the moulded figure as much as any painting skills I have.  The following is a short summary of the steps I use can be a little time consuming but the end result is satisfying.

Major General Edward Braddock is best remembered for his disastrous attempt to capture Fort Duquesne and drive the French from that strategic stronghold on the “Forks”  of the Ohio River.  His army was effectively destroyed by an inferior force of French troops and their Indian allies at the battle at Monongahela on July 9, 1755.
