This is the re-sent movieclip version.

Today I'll be going over a very important pack to me. I announced these figures on my 4-year anniversary; 4 years on this site. I won't be dwelling too long on that, since it's not the point here. Instead, it's the Legionary and Centurion Movieclip Pack; yes, that's a lot of words. To see instructions on assembly and disassembly, look at the section labeled Assembly near the bottom of the description. Without furthur ado, here's the contents:

FIGURES

---

1. The Legionary

---

The Roman Legionary was the war machine of the Roman Empire, responsible for the vast tracks of land and territory that Rome had. They were extremely well-equipped and expertly trained. Hell, some Roman military training procedures and tactics are still used in the United States Military today. Anyway, this figure comes with a side view (4 Figures) and a front view (4 Figures). The front view has adjustable should pads to emulate movement, moveable dangly straps (That's what they are called, really), and a removable helmet, of course. I kept this one relatively simple, so they are good edit.
I'd like to note that you shouldn't move the torse movement point too much on the side view. It's meant for very little movements, not bending over all from the middle of the spine. Remember, this is full steel Lorica Segmentata. Speaking of which, yes, that's the armor type used here. It definitely wasn't the only type they used, but it is the most popularized.

2. The Centurion

---

The Roman Centurion was a commander/general of the Roman Legion, overseeing a Century of 100 men. They were the backbone of the army and kept the Legionaries kept up and disciplined. More often than not, they wore capes and tall plumes to distinguish themselves in the battlefield, so Legionaries couldn't lose them when the Centurion gave orders. This figure has the same amount of parts as the Legionary. The shoulder plate movement will take a little getting used to and it can look ugly, you just have to work with it. This one comes with a nice red cape and such, but it's very easy to edit and remove the cape yourself if you don't want it.
This figure has an attachment node on the chest for the Phalara medals, which you can edit to personalize the Centurions. This guy is wearing Lorica Hamata, but if you do not realize that, I don't blame you; there's not really a way to emulate chainmail without blowing the cap off the node limit.

3. The Plumes

---

There are 3 plumes in this pack, each with a front and side view. They are attachable to the Legionary or Centurion on their helmet (NOT THE HEAD), but be careful, since for optimization purposes there are no movement nodes. So when attaching, have both faced smartly as to not mess it up. While Legionaries did wear plumes every now and then, Centurions wore them most, and were kind of popular for their sideways plume, giving a mop kind of look. Much better than a Spartan's plume.
Here are the plumes, side and front (Matched by numbers on thumbnail):
1. Victoriam - Inspired off of historical Centurion plumes, with white feathers.
2. Dominus - Striped white and red wide broom plume, popular in fiction.
3. Evocati - The vertical plume more alike to Greeks than Romans.

4. Extras

---

There are some additional figures in this pack. When using a helmet, make sure to attach the back of it to the helmet; this is only for front view, though. Of course, we already went over the front and back view of the Phalera medals. Most notably, however, is the random head in the pack. It might look stupid on the figures, but this is because I suck ass at making faces. I might release a pack of beard styles for packs like this, but expression and hair is up to you! I personally suggest only hair, facial hair, and eyebrows being added. It makes it a lot easier and honestly better-looking. So, I hate saying this, but you'll have to edit the head or just use it plain. I'm very sorry about that.
Side note: I'm not going to add full history and huge descriptions on everything like I usually do, simply because that would take an absurd amount of time and might not even fit. Not to mention the fact that it would be almost useless.

ASSEMBLY

---

Here is the assembly of the Centurion with a plume. The Legionary will be very similar to this, just exclude the last 2 steps.

SIDE VIEW:

---

Get the body of the figure. Place where desired, then attach back and front arms to the provided stretchy arm points (Optional, of course). Then, attach the head. At this point, make sure the layering, from front to back, looks like this: Front arm, head, body, back arm. Add the helmet and push it below the arm. Before you attach it, add a plume, and put it on the random node at the top of the helmet. This is the attachment point. Attach the helmet onto the head of the figure. You can then put the Phalera medals onto the body node; make sure they are below the head, helmet, plume, and front arm. At this point, you should have the full moveable figure.

FRONT VIEW:

---

Get the body. Attach Phalera Medals. Then spawn head, helmet + back of helmet, and plume. Attach plume to the helmet, and make sure it is above the head figure. Then make sure the back of the helmet is below the head figure and attach it to the helmet. Attach the head. Then spawn in both arms and attach them to the arm nodes. They should be in the front, but this, of course, can be changed depending on the art/animation you are doing. You should have the fully assembled figure by now.
Again, this works for both the Centurion and Legionary. Except you don't attach the Phalera medals to the Legionary and the plume is optional - and technically, so is the helmet. You can even mix helmets/arms with the bodies to make your own thing.
I hope this was a good explanation; these aren't hard by any means to assembly, but I don't want there to be any difficulties. If you have questions, ask me.

FINAL NOTES

---

Now that that's all good and finished; here's some important things.
I won't be uploading many big figures for a bit, since school has started for me. It'll be harder to make and submit figures when I also have to study and work all day. But, I do have a discord; we have game nights and movie nights. It's very cool.

This pack isn't of the best quality since I'm still learning how to do full figures like this, and it's rustic because I'm figuring out a new base. I don't want to be known as the guy who uses Nicky's Bases exclusively. Sorry about that, since it makes both of my last samurai packs irrelevant in the future. Maybe I'll make a new one sometime. A big thing, though, is the inclusion of front views in these packs. It's something people have asked for before. I also have a female base that isn't trash, which is also a compelling development.

What's next in terms of figures? Expect more weapon packs. I have Mesoamerican, Middle-Eastern, and Scandinavian planned. I also want to finish making my OC. The real focus will be on, as said earlier, school and the new Warlock Imperium server. If you haven't joined - you should. Sorry for the shameless advertising. Is it shameless when you feel shame doing it? Sorry for the shameful advertising, I guess. Sorry for the long description, too; even if no one reads it, it will take a long time to go down to comments.
I really need to learn how to add images, maybe it will make this a less boring read, haha.

Have a good day and be yourself 🙂
