I've been a miniatures enthusiast since I was a kid, but rekindled my hobby later in life (Much to my wife's chagrin, as she had no idea she had married an uber geek!) Now firmly entrenched in middle age I have discovered the joy of painting and playing with these little guys all over again, and have made a lot of wonderful friendships along the way.

Marian Roman Army Completed
Marian Roman DBA army made from Testudo Miniatures. 1x3Cv (Gen) or 1x4Bl (Gen), 1x3Cv or 2LH or 3Ax, 8x4Bl, 2x2Ps. The Testudo figures are large, but very well sculpted with lots of dynamic poses, and done in a way that they rank up well. The Auxilia stand in the middle are converted psiloi figures meant to represent Gallic allies that have been partially re-equipped in Roman fashion.
The Legions. Testudo figures come with an optional shield either with or without sculpted designs. All of my shields have the winged design sculpted on them, so I was somewhat limited in how I could paint them.
Optional Blade General Stand
The Roman Cavalry general on the right with Gallic allied light horse and cavalry to the left. There really were no Roman cavalry figures available to me, so I converted figures from the command pack.
The camp made with tents from Bauda and more Testudo command figures.
David, those look great, nice army. I just started getting into DBA and I'm looking at other armies. Our stories are very simiular too. Only my wife had a little suspicion! Thanks
Really nice, I think it will be one of my own next projects:)
