Galatian Blades from Wargames Factory figures?

Message #24101 of 24462 |

All,
I am getting back into DBA after a looong break. I have decided to pick up
the very nice Wargames Factory Romans, Celts and Numidians. It seems pretty easy
to make the Celts work as Gaul, British and Germans. I assumed Galatians would
also be an option, until I came across the need for 2 x 4Bd in the list for that
army. What would Galatian blades look like? Would they basically be imitation
Legionaires?

well, to begin with let me clarify this is all rather speculative, there are sources for the look of the Galatians of the early period, most notably the very...	sheikyurdices	Jul 20, 2009 2:04 pm

Cicero does say that Deiotarus had 30 cohorts of men armed in the Roman fashion. PK ... From: "sheikyurdices" <claudio@...> To: <DBA@yahoogroups.com> ...	Peter Kershaw tinkerer_99	Jul 20, 2009 4:44 pm
Now that I've got the figures in hand, I think what I am going to do is simply put a Celt head on the bodies of the Legionaires, maybe not entirely correct,...	Nick Nascati nnascati	Jul 20, 2009 5:52 pm
Indeed. Legio XXII Deiotariana ("of Deiotarus") was a Roman Legion formed in 48 a.C. (and probably destroyed in 132-135). Cicero says that Deiotarus originally...	sheikyurdices	Jul 21, 2009 1:10 pm
