Painting tips

Prime black or dark brown for a gritty, campaign-worn look. Use muted reds, purples, and off-whites for Roman troops; earthy tones for allied tribes; and rich patterned fabrics for Eastern armies. Add weathering to armor and shields for battlefield realism. Consider shield transfers for Late Roman patterns like chi-rho, wreaths, or geometric designs.

Relive the last battles of Rome — from the deserts of Palmyra to the forests of Germania — and command the empires, rebels, and raiders of the ancient world’s dramatic endgame.
