'Empire' Empire from PeteB - Hat Roman Velites and Hastati - 90 Points

 Is it just me or do others have the same thought as they hear the word "Empire" that they think on the "Roman Empire"? Well that was my first thought. So I only had to decide what figures I would paint for this theme. As I'm allready painting a bunch of 1/72 scale figures I decided to paint some nice Roman Velites and one Hastati (I had 4 more but not finished, so these will appear later in the challenge) in scale 1/32.

In the 1/32 scale Hat boxes (this is set 9118) you have 16 figures in 4 poses. Nice figure with almost no moldmarks and good details. It was fun to paint the animal furr on the helmets from the Velites, wich are three different ones. A bear, a wolf and I think a wild cat. The Hastati has some plumes on his helmet so that isn't so impressive. But have a look for yourself, so here are the pictures. Enjoy!
