This is a unit I've really wanted to do! Based on that Osprey...

Ah the marines. Almost all that remains of the force that was the V Legion. Oh dear.

I love the big Caesarean shields and their nice light blue colour. It's odd, but in some ways I think I prefer the Ceasarean shields to the more Imperial rectangular scutum. Can't really explain that.

It's sheer conjecture if the shield colour had any link to the marines, but it is a nice fancy, one perpetuated by certain authors.

Lovely figures, as always Si.

Where are the command figures from? Great unit by the way. Something I thought of adding to my Roman army too...
