SEMPER FIDELIS MINIATURES - THE BROTHER RESISTS TOGETHER SCENE, PART ONE

[SEMPERFIDELIS68]

Today is the day to present the first one (there were going to be two, but last minute technical problems have prevented it), of the 6 figures that are going to compose our vignette "The brothers resist together", a scene in which a group of legionaries of the Legion XIIII resists in its position the attack of a horde of enemies.
The figures will gradually come out with the intention of presenting the complete diorama in Leganés 2019.

This figure, as all of them from now on, will start selling in preorder.
This has an explanation, on the one hand we measure the real interest of the people in the figures, on the other we avoid that the pirates have the figure in their power before the people who buy us and follow us.
I only ask you to wait 15-20 days to get to the figures, which is the waiting time of the preorders.
With this I hope that we all win.
I will be able to make you a better price and you will pay less for the figures.
Whenever you are interested, of course.

This first figure, like all will have a price of € 29, scale 75mm. (It will be an epic vignette, I assure you) and those who subscribe to the entire vignette will still have a better price.

The vignette is going to be a work, which for us is one of the greats of the modeling scene: Victor Aguilar del Bosque and his studio Urvara Sculpture.
You do not have an idea of how lucky we are to be able to work with cracks like that. Beyond the merely technical and artistic, a giant as a person and friend.
Thank you very much for your support Victor.
This would not be possible without you
Those interested send email to [email protected]
with the subject: PreorderRomans.

Thank you very much everyone for your support, trust and respect towards our work.
Together we do a little better this hobby.

A hug friends, I hope you like our Romans and give us a push from the good guys.

fantastic Idea, figure looks great...but in my opinion, you should left the shields flat with no carved designs, this allow the painters decided whatever they want to have represented on the Shield

Hi Debrito!
The final version of shields not are carved, and no arrows.
It's only for figurative reasons.

Thanks you!

Whouuuuuuuuuuuuhuuuuuu!

Superb pose and sculpt. The helmet seems to be a mix of Imperial Gallic, with the 'eyebrows' and Imperial Italic, with the cross pieces. It should be one or the other. I have doubts as to the wearing of cloaks in battle, because of the liklihood of them becoming entangled with the sword arm. I would love to see this in a larger scale.

The cloaks were not used in battle, but ... this is not a battle, this is an ambush. I wanted to represent a surprise attack on a position where there was a group of XIII Legio. Doing it in 75mm. It has been to give the scene more impact when it is complete.

This is already whetting my appetite ! HOW many legionaries? Six, eh ? That'll do (for a start ) Looking great, and looking forward to more.

Hi Jose,

Very nice idea, may I just suggest that you represent in the picture exactly what is going to be in the box-it is important to avoid disappointment and worse still disputes.

Wish you every success with this. Good to see you back and on form.

Better get rid of the sagum cape!

For if the legionary on the march would surprisingly fall into an ambush situation, his scutum would still have the protective cover of goat leather (sarcina), which was ALWAYS worn during the march to protect the sensitive scutum against the weather...:








In addition, the support rod would have to be seen then with the discarded march Equipment (pare clothes, food rations, a cooking pot, a short spade, a handmill for grinding corn and two wooden stakes to help build a protective fence/palisade).






Cheers

Martin to our legionary gave him time to take protection from the shield, but not to take off his cloak ...
The Britons shot too many arrows and did not give him time.

Lorica segmentata will put him in 9 B.C to 3 rd Century A.D range .

Hhmmmmm.....something is wrong in this picture.Oh yes,one of the chaps isn´t shaved.

 

[MCPWilk]

As stated above, this is superbly sculpted and very artistically posed. The cloak worn by legionaries was the paenula, which covered the shoulders and had a hood. The helmet has the cross pieces seen on Imperial Italic not Imperial Gallic helmet. With a few tweaks this figure and the rest of his contubernium could be historically accurate as well.

This looks a really exiting project.
How many in the final vignette?
