I have always wanted to build a Late Imperial Roman Army and I think over the years this one is the third I have owned...all the other have been moved on to better home. However I think I will be hanging on to these lads and possibly increasing the size. The main body of the army I purchased from a very nice gentleman in the UK and the remainder I have sourced from other sellers. I have since rebased the figures for Impetvs and my ever increasing collection of Ancient Armies.....you can never have enough. Now the army is based nicely for Impetvs (Basic Impetvs to start) with a total of eight cavalry units, six infantry units and a artillery unit (just missing some missile and skirmish units to complete the army), I can soon hopefully have them on the table to battle a few barbarian hordes.
The only unit of Cataphractarii (CP)
Two units of Equites (CM)
One unit of Equites Sagittari (CL)
Three units of Illyriciani (CL)
One unit of Artillery
Two units of Comitatenses (FP)
Four units of Pseudocomitatenses (FL)

Very nice army. LIR is one of my ongoing side projects, this is inspiring.
That is a great looking army! Used for Impetvs; PERFECT!
They are really good looking units and I think the basing works very well with them.

They are delightful! I myself like this era, I sincerely congratulate, very beautiful army
Thanks for the comments everyone. Just to confirm with you all that I did not paint the figures I just debased and touched up the odd spot.
Beautiful looking troops Nathan and these Foundry sculpts are some of their best in the entire ancients range.
Wonderful job, I love your Cataphractarii unit, and the artillery...
Thank you Carlo and Phil for the comments. Carlo they are very nice figures indeed and thank you again for sending over the archers.
