"This is a very useful reference for modellers in general, but specifically for those modelling the Roman period."

IPMS magazine, Issue 3 2022

"...[what] makes these books terrific is Singleton’s concerted and consistent efforts to generously share ways to achieve practical and doable results in a reasonable amount of time with fellow enthusiasts."

The book is easy to read, the guides are simple to follow and are designed to give a finished result which is both quick to accomplish and pleasing on the eye. This result can be viewed as ‘wargames standard’ if you will – base colour plus one level of shade and highlighting.

If you were after a single source of how to paint your Roman Legion, this book is certainly worthy of your consideration – I was impressed by its accessibility and style of approach, and will certainly make use of it once my shopping list of figures has been finalised.

I really enjoyed reading this book and there was plenty of useful tips I gleaned from the painting guides.

It’s definitely a book for those starting out in painting miniatures, or for those wanting to push basic skills. For those who already have quite advanced skills there isn’t much here for them. It’s aimed at those who are building and painting a Roman army, and this book will provide some useful quick steps in getting that army painted along with some useful information about the Roman Legionary soldier.

I would definitely recommend this book to anyone considering putting an army of Romans together.

Once again Andy Singleton, with an extremely interesting volume, shows us how to make our miniatures realistic, portraying a period that has several producers with an infinite number of miniatures on the market. Another excellent book to improve the skills of model makers and wargamers.

Andy Singleton has produced a book that I will use often when painting my wee soldiers, though I have little hope I will ever reach his standards – I can try though!

The book is then rounded off by considering how you base your completed figures, and again with a good variety of different ground types. To close, there is a handy Appendix which lists the various manufacturers as well as details of all the figures and materials featured in the book.
Another excellent addition to the series, and as someone who has only recently got into building 'Ancient' figures (rather than Napoleonic or WW2) I found this a really handy and informative guide.

Military Model Scene, Robin Buckland

Another excellent guide by Andy Singleton that helps those of us committed to creating cohorts of 28mm Romans. It offers detailed instructions on paint choices and application methods plus many tips on getting my cohort to look right. Time will tell, but if they come up short it will not be down to the advice in this book! A must for any cohort creators.
