More Ancient Germans

 Working on an idea for a 1st century AD campaign scenario pitting Early Germans vs Principate Romans.  Campaign rules will be very similar to all of the others I use, especially From the Forest Deep.  I will post them to the Campaign page once I get them somewhat close to finished and a map that I like.  In the meantime, I managed to flow some heavy German foot that have been hanging around along with a camp for FOG 300 (and ADLG if I have to play) plus two temperate templates that I can use as forest, fields or whatever I need.  See the comments in the captions for details about the figures.


Here is a picture of the whole group.

Closer pic of the circular template.  I need to paint the edges.  The 7 stands of heavy foot are in the background along with the camp.

A close up of the sacred grove camp with standing stone.  The trees are from Hobby Lobby.  The stone i picked up off eBay.  The grass tuffs where added just for fun.

Some of the heavy foot next to the sacred grove.

Multiple pictures of the 14 stands.  Some with different angles.  The figures are a mix of Forged in Battle Early Germans, Old Glory Early Germans and a few Essex Ancient Germans.  Mark Kernan of The One Tree Miniatures painting service out of Northern Ireland painted about 1/2 of the figures and I painted the rest.  I need to work on the lighting for these as they came out rather dull.
