Partly because I need to consolidate my Polybian Roman army (mostly HaT & some Zvesda figures) and partly because there was a Newline sale on, I bought another Roman legion : which make a fourth & final one. The figures painted so far are Hastati. I've been thinking of giving them a Syracusan Greek ally as I have some units of Greek spear & slingers painted from years ago. I'll need to re-visit Newline to bring the slingers up to strength & buy some thureophori & a general. The Hastati: 8 Triari, 8 Velites, 16 Principes (including command) to go. donald

These look great Donald. I know that your subject is the hastati, but I especially like those slingers! Really interesting, action poses. The hastati are 'rock solid Romans' behind them. Regards, James

Thank you for the kind comments.
The slingers are Zvevda. And you get two, whole figures per box - useless! I know the Newline figures conform very well to HaT & quite well to Zvevda, so I'll be needing another 4 slingers to make a (small) unit.
Zvevda's Polybian Romans are very nice but the poses don't lend themselves to creating a coherent unit. HaT & Newline do, so kudos to them. I have 2 existing HaT legions & 1 Zvevda which necessitated a lot of cutting, twisting & modifying to more or less make them work.
