Victrix: Plastic Late Roman Heavy Cavalry Preview


Victrix: We have not really shown you any of these whilst in the sculpting phase as we thought it would be a nice surprise to see them all finished in one go! Here we have renders of our new set of Late Roman heavy cavalry wearing a mix of mail and scale. There are 4 main body poses and 4 main horse poses. The horses come with optional bed rolls, water bottles and javelin cases to hang from the saddle. As with all of out sets there are a multitude of arms and heads to give you a really dynamic set of Late Roman cavalry charging into action.

These miniatures represent Roman heavy cavalry of the 4th and 5th centuries. They would have been used for scouting and protecting the flanks on marches. In battle they would have countered enemy cavalry and pursued routing enemy off the field for many miles as well as protecting the infantry flanks. The Romans made great use of cavalry as fast response units to raiders such as Goths and Picts who made incursions over the Danube and Hadrians wall for example. The next Late Roman cavalry set to be worked on is Light cavalry with javelins and horse archers.
