Looking to paint my new Late Imperial Romans from Legio Heroica. One of the attractions of LIR is the shield patterns from the Notita Dignitatum (spelling optional). LittleBigMenStudios provide some of the best and most detailed shield transfers out there, but unfortunately don't have any for Legio Heroica. They do have some for Khurasan Miniatures though and Lord Mather has some Khurasan LIRs for me to compare. The figures are very similar, such that I would add some in for variety if Khurasan had a UK distributor, and the shields are a similar shape if a tad smaller, so the transfers will fit.
The next step is to work out which units the transfers are for, which is possible with a moderate level of accuracy given the aforementioned Notita. Using Luke Ueda-Sarson's excellent website on the Notita, I have identified some of the patterns, as shown in the table below.

Another set of pictures of my Ottomans, this time using my new flash, so with a much better colour balance.
Most of the figures are Old Glory, but there are a few Essex mixed in here and there.
First the Akinjis:
Then the Sipahis, with some handgunners in the background:
And finally the Janissaries, with the Kapikullu in the background:

A quick picture of the army that Dave is taking to Warfare this weekend. I know the competition is today, but I think he only finished painting it this morning. Click on the picture to see a larger version.
I'll update on Monday to let you know how it did...
