My first FL Romans (3 Viewers)

[Currahee Chris]

For me the poses of the Legionnaires work in a "melee" type scenario where they are heavily engaged with germania or celtic warriors. This is one of the reasons why I want to create an Orb (Orbus) defensive scenario which I have mentioned in previous posts . . . . The current poses would work well for that. I would agree that it would be nice to be able to create a cohesive "shield wall" that would display the military discipline that the Romans excelled at. As an example, Conte has a new Roman 3-figure set that creates a nice looking shield wall and has each Legionnaire advanicing with gladius in hand. I would readily collect figures such as these if offered by FL. In any regard, I think the currently offered FL Romans are incredibly done and I am very glad I decided to collect them. Wouldn't a "Turtle" formation be cool ^&cool . . . .

STANDS ALONE Mike!!

I chewed on this post for the last couple days and you sir have really helped me see the error in my ways in regards to all of this. I am now redesigning how I want my Roman diorama to look. While a turtle would look amazing and I will certainly try to collect one if it ever comes out. Since my wife bought me all that JG Roman Fort stuff, I am kind of in a lurch trying to figure out how to make it work. I think, based on your post here, that I can essentially create a massive skirmish line along Hadrian's wall, scores of Barbarians rushing mad, frothing at the mouth (that's for you Joe) ready to bust up some Romans. It will look pretty amazing. Great time to be a collector!! {bravo}}
