Camillian Romans - Leves and Equites (Redone)

Hello everyone! I've happy to finally provide an update on my Camillian Roman project. 

 

To begin, I decided to redo the Equites for a couple of reasons.

a. I found out that the 4-horn saddle did not exist until the very end of the 2nd century BC at the earliest. Therefore, I swapped out the horses with Victrix's Light Greek cavalry and Wargames Atlantic's Horses. One of the horses( the grey spotted one) is a Victrix Roman horse, but I sculpted it into having a plain saddle.

b. I got better at painting with speedpaints and I liked the outcome better than my previous painting projects.

c. I found out that I can finally do eyes with the help of a black micron pen

I also decided to swap out the head of the banner carrier as I wasn't a fan of the older sculpt.

 That said, I'm not too happy with how the consul turned out (his face came out too dark). My go to method for tanned central Italian skin now is a basecoat of light beige and then going over it with Army Painter's Crusader Skin. It was fine for the other models, but I put it on too thick for the leader.

 

Next up is a unit of Roman leves, made up of Wargames Atlantic Gangs of Rome and Victrix velites. I'm pretty happy how the two manufacturers mesh with eachother once painted up.

I always like to add an "officer model" in every unit, so I thought I would add a slightly better off Leves with a kopis sword on loan. His head is a kitbash of two different head parts (the hat is the Victrix Light Greek cavalry again)
