Interesting choices for color and shields. Any chance we can see the figures individually? :)

Much better photos, nice colors, very good work.

I think the painting is very good. You have all the details right, and hand painted shields! Love the effort! :) The standard (or rather the clothes of a defeated warrior on a spear) looks great too.

I have some doubts about the correctness of the colors compared to the time period. To me the colors are not vibrant enough, and that makes some of the figures look like they are tribal to me. I understand this need with the slinger, archer and bare chested warrior. I see some of the warriors though have some vibrant colors. I am surprised at the choice of shield pattern. Yes, I know that they used a swastika, and I understand how the would be very controversial to put on the shields, I wouldn't do it myself... but the "I", to me is not the symbol I have in mind when thinking of the Samnites. The 4 squared pattern on them might be too tough to paint, but surely there are other options. The other symbols in the Oscan Alphabet might have been more interesting, although "I" is one of them. If you google Samnite shields, and Victrix, you get some images that I find more appropriate.

Still I like the attempt. I know I am being highly critical. Painting is like I said very good. Better than mine :) You have lots of details I would have missed. I certainly will be looking at this again when I am going to paint my Samnites. If I could learn how to paint like this, I would do so, if I could do it at a reasonable speed... and for officers I think. :)

On rereading maybe I am a bit too harsh in my criticism. I only want to improve on your excellent work! I am also quite fond of the Samnites, which may have colored my comments. Sorry for them if they hurt.
