A Hastatus of the Roman Republic

This is a completed Hastatus for my Republican Roman army. I have been carrying this color scheme in my head for quite a long time now, and I thought I had better finish up a single figure before getting too much further on the rest of the units to be certain that the colors would work well together. I really like how it turned out, especially the way the gold contrasts beautifully with the darker colors.

The photos were taken with a brand new Tamron 90mm f/2.8 macro lens that I picked up earlier today. I should be able to get some very nice photos of my painted models and games with this lens. I'm still learning it, but so far I love it!

Colors used:
  Vallejo: Flat Flesh
  Vallejo: Dark Red
  Vallejo: Burnt Cadmium Red
  Vallejo: Vermillion
  Vallejo: Old Gold
  Vallejo: Bronze
  Vallejo: Burnt Umber
  Citadel: Lich Purple
  Citadel: Chainmail
  Citadel: Abaddon Black

    Those reds are awesome, deep and vibrant, not chalky or pink. I think I'm stealing your paint picks :)
