Some pics of my latest paint job, the late Roman missile troops from Hät. These missile troops provided Comitatensis and Limitani army units with extra firepower in the field or on the ramparts. They consisted of artillery men with catapulta or scorpios, crossbow men, archers and javelin men. Most missile troops and infantrymen also carried plumbata (short leaded darts) to throw into enemy lines from short distances. Many opponents especially dreaded the Roman field artillery and for good reason.
