Roman Cavalry and more auxiliaries

I had the time over the mid term break to add more units to my Roman army the first was another unit of auxiliaries the same sets as used in the previous unit this time using a different standard the eagle not the flag and given the centurion  a spear instead of the sword. These can be seen below
2nd unit of auxiliaries 
The second unit added was a unit of medium roman cavalry using HAT set 8031 roman cavalry and the mounted figures from the HAT roman command set. The fully painted figures can be seen below.
Roman cavalry command figures in front row
The two figures from the command set are in the front row with the 6 from the cavalry set in the back row. A cavalry unit  in cc ancients has 3 blocks the command figure will be removed for blocks1 and 2 and the 6 figures represent the third block.

These are based of 1.5cm x 3cm bases but the command figure over hang the front of the base by a few mms.

I also got the chance to play gmt games 1805 sea of glory as the British and hope to post a review soon. set up below
