Steve at Little Big Men Studios has been a busy lad – he’s just sent us a load of his beautiful new Roman shield designs! You’ll find new designs for the Marines and Legionaries here!
Roman Marine Shields. This new shield design for our Roman Marines miniatures could be used in conjunction with the similar-looking Legionary shield design below. Read on to see why!
The first thing you’ll notice is that we’ve asked Steve to produce the Legionary sheets with 20 designs on so they more accurately match our box contents. This will save you cash and make things easier all round.
