Roman cataphracts and commanders
I'm on a bit of the roll at the moment. These complete my Roman army rebasing project.
The HaT cataphracts didn't really need rebasing, but unfortunately it was a desert colour so it was not consistent with the rest. They are underscale compared to Rospaks, but on the battlefield in seperate units it's not too noticable
The commanders are old 25mm Minifigs, they are a bit too large/chunky. I wonder if there is anything out there more suitable? 28mm would be too big, maybe 3D printed?

Deutsche Volksturm
Well Andy beat me to it again, he posted his painted half packet yesterday. These are Mars figures and like many of their newer sets they are quite nice mouldings. I gave them a mix of civilian and military dress all linked by a yellow volkssturm armband.
They will all end up fighting in "Fall of the Reich" games togeher with whatevery other mixed figures I want to combine them with.

Veldt Artillerie
Just what's need to support my Boers
Theses are two Krupp 75mm field guns and a pair of 1pdr pom-poms from Strelets, surplus crew has been used for command and loader teams
Maybe I need to add some limbers?
Addition just found this on the Oranje Vrijstaat Artillerie Corps Facebook page

Just found this awesome photo of the Krupp Vorrathswagen (supply wagon) from a Krupp catalogue kept in a Portuguese museum. This is the exact model the Boers imported as well and the limber I am restoring:

Roman Auxilliaries
Continuing the rebasing, I worked on a couple of units each of bow and javelin armed auxilliaries. Each existing unit of 24 figures bacame a close order unit of 16 and an open order unit of 8.
All the figures are Rospaks who only produced two poses.
Luckily with these there was very little rework except a couple of broken javelins needing replaced.
If I need to use the figures in their old WRG 6th context, then I simply have to alternate the close and open order bases
Now I'm into the more serious reorganisation and repairs
