The torsos are from galaxy squad with changed arms and hands.
Heads are from the old star wars scout troopers which could be also considered rare.

The helmets are probably the mos rare and expensive (Average price currently about 5 USD). accessory of silver guardians. They are also extremely rare (only 3 pieces are avilable in BL right now) because sellers in BL do not often seperate the legionaire helmet from the figure and figures itself are very expensive (Average price currently about 17-18).

(Everything put together. A single figure cost appr. 18 USD as if you buy on the pieces you need although it would not be possible to do if you want to build many since the parts necessary are not pieced out from the figures mostly and of course you have to collect pieces from multiple sellers.)

Why not use a third party legion helmet? They're much cheaper than buying the Lego version off of BL, but look almost identical.

People usually tend to think that I only have the "M-Tron" Army but in reality I have more than that.
(I have bought all my roman soldiers from the local toy shops. These are the only opened ones.)

Historically speaking, it makes sense for a shitton of Roman soldiers to be located in Constantinople.

Actually, about two years ago, I organised a LUG project to build a Roman City. The army was displayed in the LUG meeting.

Kaplan, tell me this how the hell do you AFFORD all this Lego? Are you one of those middle eastern oil barons or something?

I don't know about that, Kaplan DOES live in Turkey. You're thinking Saudi Arabia.

Whenever I see a picture of a set up like this my thought process is:
6. Wow, that looks good, how long did that take to put together?
7. Wait, they probably just disassembled it at the end of the day and took it home having left it like that all the time, what a waste of an opportunity for an epic brikwar! :evil:
(All you need is an attacking Germanic army and BANG! - awesome carnage with an awesome battlefield.)

I'd also like to add that your supersilversoldier looks nice, and your fig collection is unnerving.

Work is my guess :)

Anyhow that's a pretty badass display Kaplan. Was this meetup recently? I haven't seen it popping up on your flickr before.

I bought them directly from toy shop. They cost me 3.2 Euro each. Collectible minifigures cost that much in my country. After one year I sold about 36 of them for 8 Euro each. I still have appr. 160-170 total. And no I am a just normal person with average income.

Thank you for clarifying :) I do live in Istanbul which is the largest city in Turkey located in the noth-western part. I'm living in the European side of the bosphorus channel.

I'm actually having small scale brikwars battles with my friends but when I do, I give them my armies to play against me. It feels weird to play against my own armies. They are preparing their own armies now and as soon as they are ready I will post large scale battles in the forum. I promise.

Yes I have a job :D
That was a meeting from two year ago but all pictures are stored in brickshelf galleries. Brickshelf seems to be under maintenance now.
