Crusader EIR Legionary

I've been enjoying the figures from Crusader's "Rank and File" range. Mark Sims seems to be focusing on making very solid, unpretentious figures with good physical proportions. I have bought his late Macedonian phalangites, Greek hoplites, and EIR legionaries.

The EIR range has just four poses: centurion, signifer, cornicen, and ranker. Unless the ranker is a good pose, this just won't work. I painted my prototype figure tonight. See what you think. Click on any picture for a larger image.
