Romans used war dog in battle and for gladiatorial game. During the conquest of Britain they fought against Britain big molossus

British dogs were both fast and strong, useful in hunting and even in war

Outstanding work on this miniature, Rod.
Your painting skills came a long way in a very short time.
For what it's worth, as of my judgement, please consider yourself a master painter.
Wonderful, wonderful, wonderful.

Awesome,{eek3}{eek3}{eek3}
Seeing this piece with the quality of his painting (traces of blood!), you "feel" how the battles of that era were "barbarians. " Bravo again.{bravo}}

Rod-

beautiful work my friend- what a wonderful kit to paint- you do not often, if ever, see soldiers on the march with the leather cover attached included with the shield. I am assuming that is a representation of a bull mastiff yes? Pretty big dog to have secured there to say the least ^&grin

I guess the only change I might have made from the histories I have read, would have been to have a vitis staff in his hand rather than the gladius- Clearly with his marching kit, he probably wouldn't be walking with the gladius out unless they just stabbed their dogs if they got out of line.

Beautiful kit, masterful work- thanks for sharing!! You are the man!!

Hey guys thanks a lot for these kind words, MERCI...
Hello Chris, I knew you would like this guy. If you notice, I added some blood on the Gladius to give an idea that he just came out from the forest after a confrontation with some Boudica Celtic warriors...{eek3}{sm3}

Oh yeah, I definately saw that handywork- great effect too!! Would have been really cool if there was an arm hanging out of his dog's mouth!! {sm4}{sm4}

LOL....^&grin

Talking about the dog, I need to do some touch ups + highlights, he is too glossy and the tongue is extremely RED.....

Excellent piece, even if you'd like to touch up the dog Who among us doesn't keep seeing things that he'd want to redo on the things he paints?

Prost!
