Off work and pre-order in. I don't think they are hand painted. I believe another method was used.

Congrats due to FL. Wonderful work, very well done.

That's awesome!! I went to the Gettysburg TS show a couple weeks ago and saw all the mounted Naps and let my mind wander thinking of what the mounted FL cavalry will look like!! Good times ahead!!

You know the saying "If you ani't CAV you ain't ...!" With all these Roman releases it looks like your prayers to Jupitor Optimas Maximus have finally paid off!

I wonder what surprises the newsletter will bring. Who knows maybe you will see some American GIs and you wont have to decide between Rome and DAK.

They are some of the best toy soldiers I have ever seen. Just my opinion , Simmo.:salute::

Sammy, Just use the "max out the credit card method".^&grin^&grin..Only kidding....One good thing about First Legion is that we can pace ourselves in our purchases.

American GIs??? oh Joe that would be the best news for me at least ever from First Legion!! but Matt has stated it's Stalingrad now, other lines later, but DAK came out of nowhere so never know, but hopefully soon...Sammy

Ok, I certainly agree with you on that point- I do believe I saw you had FL naps- any opinion how those will scale up?? My only concern is the scale issue when compared to KC, Conte and now CS. I have seen their NAPs and AWI figures and believe they are slightly smaller than the KC ones but some FL collectors have stated that the Crusaders are more in line with KC et al.

Thanks

Same answer as before Chris. Unless the K&C Romans are much smaller than the K&C Naps, they will not match the standard FL size, which does match the old Conte Romans, which according to Mike, match the new Conte Romans. Standard CS Napoleonic figures are bulky like K&C but shorter and size wise match them the best.

Why carry some Legionnaires bronze helmet?^&confuse, but I like the silver helmet:smile2:

Francisco, the mix of bronze and iron helmets would be more accurate than if all the figures had iron. The Romans didn't have 100% identical kit issued to each man. And, even as the 'newer' iron Imperial-Gallic type helmets began to be issued, those with the 'bronze' type probably kept them till they were worn out.

Exactly! Hollywood Romans need not apply, although a Roman dude wearing a wristwatch would be kind of funny.{eek3}{sm4} (Just a reference to the "Roman Soldiers Don't Wear Wristwatches" hollywood blooper book a few years ago...):rolleyes2:

Hey Francisco- it would not be unheard of to see the legionaires in different suits of armor as well- lorica segmentata- the "plated" Armor if you will, is very stylish and was rather popular but they used chain and ring armor as well.

Along that line of thought, it would be cool if some of FL's future legionaires had ring mail armor. That would make an already impressive battle line even better!
