So your dwarfs are going to finally get some sheilds?
As to dwarfs being as close to romans as you can get, I disagree. DoW actually are roman, and TK play kinda like the romans.

DoW... those people with pikes, pistols, crossbows, heavy cavalry... DoW are renaisance (sp) or at a push Ancient Greeks (taking out things like blackpowder) Dwarfs are similar just because they are short, lots of R'n'F etc, obviously the whole black powder thing makes it difficult, but I just really like the Roman Shields so my Warriors and Iron Breakers are getting some

Oh come on Paul! How do you think Julius Caesar's army killed a million Gauls? With swords and arrows? I agree with Gav, and had actually thought about Roman shields for my own dwarves ... years before you were born Gav! But that would look cool. Lots of R&F units. Some Roman looking helmets or crests would be teh shot. But shields would probably be enough.

No! He would have used one rare slot at the least for DOW canon! I'm sure Suetonius mentions one. Just ask Neil.

Well as nice as helmets would be, i cant find any and I dont want to buy full models just to lop off their heads! 13 models now have shields (1 Iron breaker, very cool! and 12 Warriors) shame only 3 are painted... really should get on with painting them...

Indeed, Suetonius had a printed toga with "I know Dirty Caesar" on it.

Right, well my eye is all better, so it is painting time, started work by spraying BLue Platoon last night and started work on the Junior Command today, cloth and armour are done, everything else is still to be done. Once they are done, I have this lot... (the storm troopers to the left are started, cloth almost done as are the bases) Here is a snap of the Vulture with the magnatised weapons And here is just a general snap Lastly, here is the army (or at least most of it, blue platoon are elsewhere) Camera phones FTW! I swear on the JO there is highlighting, you just cant see it in the picture...

That army looks superb mate, remarkably similar in build (apart from the FW stuff) with the army i had, before selling it to fund my crazy Empire obsession.
I still rue the day i sold that army though, might have to start again now.
I'd like to do a Praetorian army using the occasional Mordian as sgts but i'll need to win the lottery first ;D

Heres another picture I found, this is the colour scheme for my Ksarkin, basically the same as my other guardsmen, but black guns to make them look meaner! That and deeper shading in the cloth, painted 11 so far out of 16, and started on another 5 guardsmen, after finishing off a Junior Command (Who got destroyed turn 2 in a game today )
