Throughout their history, the Romans were troubled by formidable warlike tribes along their northern borders: The Celts of Gaul and Northern Italy who sacked Rome itself; the British who repulsed Julius Caesar and resisted later occupation; the Germanic tribes along the Rhine; and the fearsome falx-wielding Dacians on the Danube. In Rome’s Northern Enemies, Andy Singleton provides a detailed guide to assembling and painting figurines of these formidable foes for your next gaming session. With Andy’s practical advice, you will achieve a fine collection ready for tabletop battle or display. Most of the figures featured in the numerous illustrations are 28mm but the techniques described are easily adaptable to smaller scales and to plastic or metal. Step-by-step guidance takes the process from initial preparation and assembly of the figure, to finishing and basing. Themed chapters cover armor, clothing, skin tones, warpaint and tattoos, shields and horses.
