I can't imagine why...

The thought of nitpicking your hives is too revolting to contemplate.

Dodgy sexual tendencies and an eye for the main chance?

But the 1st Century BC is THE BEST TIME. You get more enemies than anyone else to fight. Arabs, Armenians, Britons, Gauls, Germans, Greeks, Iberians, Illyrians, Italian Allies, Jews, Nubians, Numidians, Parthians, Pirates, Pontics, other Romans, and of course slaves.

I think it's partly because for some reason figure manufacturers have tended to do 'Imperials' first and then 'Mid-Republicans'. After they've done those two ranges they feel tired of Romans and move on.
Granted there are some good C1 BC ranges out there now but the others do dominate

I don't quite know how to break this to you, Steve, but Midgard has been published for some time now... ;-)

Actually I see they come pre-attached to the torso so don't worry.

Tom, when you come to stick these together, would you mind posting a picture of one of the guys with spear and shield before you put his pauldrons on, please?

Lurking some supernatural horror?

I like the idea of the parts of both Elite and Green becoming modular. So Red Dice and Green Dice, extra deployment distance, even increased/decreased chances to be hit (situationally). It allows for very well led but raw troops and highly experienced but 'sticky' veterans.

Scoop it up in buckets and carry it to England to sell. You'll make a fortune (by Welsh standards)

Yes, but what's happening in the game?
