I have been a bit further down the 2mm Rabbit Hole and present my auxiliary century.

These are to still come off the printer. But they were a bit of a sod to combine them all. There were so many of them it made 3D printer almost grind to a halt.

What I did with these was give them a solid block inside the miniatures you can sort of see it between the centurion and vexilarius. This will hopefully avoid fragility that I found with the other ones.

I have also built a legionary as well as a conicern… I forgot to add him to this block. You cannot see but there is an Optio in the rear rank. I have also done an eagle and a horse… this will become the start of my cavalry force.

I have thoroughly enjoyed doing these. I think I will need to go to a bit more complex software such as Blender. Problem with that is I am really too Lazy to learn it properly. At this scale I really don’t need a lot of texture. So I will have to see how the copy and merge tools work.

So I made some more siege bits and pieces for the 2mm armies. Shown here are a siege tower and a covered ram. I have also made some covered Siege tents for want of a better word. The Romans used them on the siege of Jerusalem. Basically they were like the ram, without the ram bit. It allowed the troops to get close to wall without some oik dropping a boulder on their head. I have made two types. One with just a roof and one with side screens too. These things had two layers of rawhide sandwiching seaweed.

The final image shows some of the barbarian forces that I snipped off the other day.

Next up… I had better build some walls for the equipment to breach 🙂
