Retake your pictures (scans?) and then resize the new ones.

From what I can see, they look cool. You need to take better pics though, because these are really blurry.

If you still have the pics on your computer, then just open them up in Windows Paint & resize them there using the stretch & skew option.

Anyways, the Romans looks pretty good.
I like how you used the 2x4 plates for shields.

I like the flag standard and shield, really roman-like. Great idea! :D

They look good, but how about changing the shield grip to one of these?

Or something similar. The current shield grip looks too big IMO.

I like some of the ideas you have presented here. The shield is a really cool one, and one I haven't seen. It looks like a good legionaire sheild.

The standard bearer is also very cool - that is unique and shows some originality.

It would be nice to get better pics, but I can understand that we don't all have the best equipment to work with, so no worries there. My only other complaint... a little heavy with the paint maybe.

Legionnaire, not Legionar. Legionar sounds like the name for a pokemon... :roll:

The ideas are simple but good. The shields does not need to be the octagonal since 2x4 plates do fine, but I would still prefer octagonal shields when doing turtle formations. The helms are ok, but I would try to make custom out of the kettle helm. :wink:

They look very good, and I don´t need to point out the picture quality. But I hope to see some more pics in the future ;)
