The 2 images below are the final part of the latest project to complete our range of Greek and Macedonian foot troops.

The hoplites are made by combining the Hypaspist bodies with the
Corinthian head options that are included in the Hypaspists set. This
will enable customers to make them into Hoplites at the ready.
 
The Eastern Phalangites are made by removing the legs from the Successor
Phalangites and using the trousered leg options that are included on
the frame. The legs are attached to bases so this will be a very simple conversion.

 The Numidian horse are next. After that I am not sure but perhaps a different period, at present no firm decisions.

Pferde! \"The Numidian horse are next.\" Ein vorsichtiges :thumbsup: , :thumbsup: , :thumbup: mit *.

Here are the first views of one of the Numidian Cavalry we are
working on for release mid 2016. Please note it is work in progress and
there will be a few sculpting tweaks required.
 The set will
comprise 3 separate horses, 3 figures with interchangeable arm and head
options. We will also include a helmeted head, cloak and sword arm for
the officer, a standard bearer arm plus hand options for the shield arms
with and without additional javelins. Steve at LBMS will of course be
producing shield transfers.
 The number of figures per set and the price are yet to be decided.

Mir gefallen die. Wenn jetzt der Preis auch stimmt, wird der Plastikberg GrĂ¶ĂŸer.

Nice - hat eigentlich schon jemand GerĂŒchte betreffs punischer / spanischer Kavallerie aufgeschnappt?

In einem Ă€lteren Facebookpost hieß es von Victrix:

we now working on Numidian Cavalry plus some other surprises

Ich schĂ€tze man spielt auf weitere folgende Kavallerieboxen an. Als ich vor lĂ€ngerem mal gefragt hatte, ob Römische Equites geplant sind hieß es:

not in 2015, maybe in 2016

I have just received the 3 completed ponies for the Numidian cavalry
set and have been told the 3 riders plus all the arm, head, weapon
options will be ready by the end of the month.
 Numidian ponies
did not have saddles or any tack other than a rope around the neck the
rider would pull to apply pressure to the windpipe.
 The model is
done at medium pony size and is made a bit stockier than the actual
Numidian ponies which were smaller and more wirey. The reason for this
is for tooling and manufacturing purposes. We want to avoid thin legs
that would be liable to snapping.
 The connections to the bases
are just rudimentary joins at present. The final joins will be done by
the layup guys who understand how thick to make them for plastic flow.
They will also split the models in half and core them out.

The release of the first Ancient Spanish set is likely to be in the
second week of February. The first set will be the armoured Spanish
comprising 40 figures with a mix of spears, 2 types of sword (the
falcata and gladius hispaniensis) and 2 types of shield (scutarii and
caetra). The mix of weapons and shields will allow customers a very
flexible approach to building their Ancient Spanish units with a nice
balance between heavy and light troops.
Steve at LittleBigMenStudios will be producing a range of Spanish shield transfers to compliment the range.


Following on from the armoured troops we will then release 12 man set
of Balearic slingers, essential for softening up the Roman units
opposing your Spanish/Carthaginian armies. This set will only be
available direct from Victrix.
The final release will be unarmoured Ancient Spanish infantry before we move on to the Samnites.

40? Das aber mal ne doofe Menge. Bei den Karthagern guckten die wenigstens noch das es 2x24 plus die Skirmisher sind. Bin ja gespannt ob trotzdem genauso teuer. Und die andere Box als Victrix Only ist lĂ€cherlich, so teuer wie der Versand ist und die Box eh schon teuer angekĂŒndigt wurde im VerhĂ€ltnis fahre ich ja mit Zinnminis gĂŒnstiger. Darf man ja gespannt sein.

[Wellington]

verdammt jetzt muss ich Iberer anfangen!

[Bommel]

Lockt mich wie die numider, jedoch nur wenn ebenfalls der Preis stimmt.

[SiamTiger]

Sind die Balearic Slinger denn als Option in den unarmoured Warriors enthalten oder nur als dritte Box?

Dazu ist bisher leider nichts bekannt. Ich hoffe es.

[emigholz]

Steht doch da, 12 Mann Set nur bei Victrix erhÀltlich.

[steffen1988]

Iberische Kavallerie kommt!

Numidian Cavalry
Still a few tweaks to do and lots more heads
and arms to show at some stage but this in essence is the first of our
cavalry sets.
In the next couple of weeks we start on Ancient Spanish cavalry.
