Skeleton standard bearer
Skeleton Standard Bearer - C1036E (Hobby Products/Metal Magic)
I painted this model and then I kept it on a shelf for years. Few weeks ago I used a smoking paper and some vinyl glue to make the standard.
DBA Paper Counters/Icons Army
When I first approached De Bellis Antiquitatis (DBA) in the late '90s, online trading was uncommon and local stores had choices limited to Romans/Celts/Carthaginians and Napoleonic 15mm miniatures, even in a big city as Milano. I bought a pair of Punic lancers, Celtic warriors and Balearic skirmishers units but I soon realized I couldn't spend so much money to build armies and so much time to paint them. I was playing by myself, totally unaware about other gamers or clubs or 'online resources' and I was also trying to push my friends into DBA (which resulted in a total failure). I needed something cheap, easy to produce and generic so I turned to paper armies. My sister Gabriella was at the time graduating in Fine Arts so I asked her to draw some simple icons. I copied those icons with a Xerox machine, cut out, coloured with markers and glued them to cardboards bases. I could then produce all the armies I wanted: 30a. Tullian Roman 35. Gallic
