I wonder what figures people are using to make this army in 28mm?


Aetius-last-of-the-Romans

I think that some of the 28mm Nubian ranges from Foundry/Casting Room  would work well. The Casting Room ones have the correct hair and also have the later loincloth with the decorative cloth strip at the front.
NB: You might want to change some of the shields for the spearmen as I think Caesar talks about very large rectangular shields (if memory serves me).

Your big challenge will be the cavalry - which is where the Essex Miniatures classical Indian might come in handy, with a bit of conversion.
Likewise, I'd look at some of various 28mm Sudan Colonial ranges (Ansar cavalry) - again with a spot of conversion you can probably produce the right sort of Kushite cavalry (a few head swops etc) - but thankfully you shouldn't need many of these  ;D

I am hoping to do these in 6mm - so head swapping is out ;D
Looking across the ranges available, I had Egyptians, Indians, Numidians, and even Zulus in mind
