Three mounted Roman leaders

These are all from the Victrix pack of Early Imperial mounted Roman generals

First, here is a character that I'll probably use as the praefectus cohortis for my auxiliary troops, or maybe as the praefectus equitatus for the cavalry alone.

Next, I have a more senior leader, so I've put him on a base with a second mounted figure;

On the left, we have a very senior centurio, perhaps a legionary primus pilum or the centurio of the first century in an auxiliary cohort and on the right is an army commander, who might be a legate or a tribunus militum.

Clearly, these will be serving as heroic leaders in games of Midgard. I also have some small two and three hole movement trays which I'm using for leaders on foot. 

I've completed the rebasing of my Victrix Early Imperial auxilia now, so they are all on 12cm frontage movement trays. The force looks pretty impressive, but I have auxiliary archers to finish painting to provide some serious long range firepower.

The backdrop is, of course, by Jon Hodgson.
