Victrix: The New ancient range we are starting at Victrix will be Early Imperial Romans. This is a period we have wanted to work on since we started Victrix in 2008 so we are very excited about this and look forward to showing more updates over the coming months.
We have a render of one of the figures so far. Most of the work up this point has been sorting the equipment such as helmets, shields, armour, weapons etc... Now that is pretty much finalised (a couple of minor tweaks) then the poses for other figures will come thick and fast over the coming weeks. The plan is to do a set of Roman Legionaries in attacking active poses and a set in marching/advancing poses for those who like their Romans active and those who like a more linear look.
There will be pilum and sword arm options, 2 helmet variants plus segmented arm armour variants and some leg options with greaves. Some separate crests and oval shields are being looked at to make Praetorians. We will see if we can fit these on the frame or whether it has to be an extra set? We also want to put a few nice bits in there such as arms holding torches and severed heads, this adds a nice touch for those doing skirmish games and as you know we always like to give the customer extras and not just the bare minimum.
There will be full plastic command frames and a mounted General figure will be produced. Other sets in the planning are Auxiliary infantry attacking and advancing, archers, cavalry and Scorpions (Possibly with an ox cart to mount it on) Steve form LBMS will be producing a large range of shield transfers for these figures.
Don’t worry about the Punic wars we are still producing sets for this as well and will hop back and forth between the periods. The great thing is the Numidian cavalry and the already released Balearic slingers can be used in the Early Imperial Roman army. We will also be returning to Napoleonics at some stage later this year. Hopefully we will have a few more renders by Salute in a couple of weeks.
