Also im Moment warte ich eher drauf das die Sachen ĂĽberhaupt mal rauskommen. Selbst das 2. French Ari Set kriegst noch nirgends bzw nach den Karthagern war eigentlich Schluss wenn ich es richtig sehe und die kamen ja schon vor 6 Monaten oder so raus.

Nun, \'soon\' wird ja im Allgemeinen nicht mit \'gleich\' oder \'sofort\' ĂĽbersetzt, sondern mit \'bald\'. Leider.

Es bleibt die Hoffnung, dass sie Kunden nicht durch zu lange Wartezeiten verschrecken wollen und sie es, nachdem sie uns mit ihren Ankündigungen so lange wie nötig unterhalten haben, schnell herausbringen. Posives Denken. Manchmal soll es helfen.

For all those painters and gamers who like bright vibrant armies the
Samnites will appeal. There will be 2 sets, armoured and unarmoured with
4 figures per sprue and 6 sprues in the set. All the parts for command
figures are included in the frame. A total of 24 figures per set.
At some stage over the weekend I will be showing the completed digital
models of the Iberian cavalry. In keeping with the Iberian theme I have
also posted a few photograhs of the Armoured Iberian warriors.

These fought for years against the Republican Romans and also fought as
mercenaries for the Carthaginians so all in all very useful troops.

Also dieser Trend zu den 12 bzw 24 Mann Sets gefällt mir nicht. Da sind die Einzelmini Preise nochmal deutlich höher. Die Slinger sind echt frech finde ich.

[SiamTiger]

Pfund pro Püppie bei Plastik find ich auch heftig, zu mal Slinger ja eigentlich Massenware in Form von Plänklern sind. Eher als die anderen Auswahlen.

Responses to the last post raised a few questions about various subjects and I will try and deal with these in this thread

But before I do this I want to share with everyone images of the
finished Ancient Iberian Cavalry. The release date is uncertain at
present but I would expect sometime over the summer. The set will be
made up of 3 horses and 3 riders but with lots of head, crest, and arm
options so there will be plenty of scope for ensuring every figure and
horse looks unique. We will probably sell it in sets of 12 figures.


There are many posts about what people would like us to produce and in
an ideal world we would produce everything requested and give the sets
away free of charge. However, we live in the real world and therefore
time and commercial reality will dictate what we produce and how quickly
it can be done. Nevertheless, I will confirm the following:

1. We have not abandoned Napoleonics and I have already discussed with the
Head of Design both mounted and foot sets to be worked on in the autumn.
More news later.

2. I am hoping to announce a new range of
Ancients sometime in the next 2-3 weeks. This new series of sets are
already being worked on but I want to wait for an image of the first
render before making an announcement. I noted that there has been much
speculation on TMP with some potential good ideas and some not so good.

3. WWI will remain on hold for the foreseable future due to technical reasons.

4. Reworking our non digital sets is possible but not commercially
sensible so I am afraid Napoleonic Dutch Sappers will not happen.

5. Taking a digital model and turning it into something that can be
moulded in metal is not practical so I am afraid Campanian cavalry is
also a non starter.

6. Someone asked why I had not shown the
illustration of the Iberian Cavalry artwork. We have only just finished
the digital sculpting and these \"renders\" will be used as the basis for
the artwork. Be patient and all in good time.

die sehen richtig klasse aus!

Ja, aaabär: \"mounted and foot Sets\" :rolleyes: Nappo-Kavallerie. :dance3: :smiley_emoticons_prost2:

The Samnites were a tribal group of the Oscan peoples that occupied
Central and Southern Italy. They were fierce warriors and in their many
wars with Rome they earned a high military reputation.
 Samnites
fought in loose formations armed with javelins and sword, preferably in
hilly or wooded terrain. They were formidable fighters in close combat.

These fantastic and highly detailed miniatures are ideal as enemies of
Republican Rome or fighting as allies and mercenaries in a Carthaginian
army. They can also be used as earlier Italian peoples such as Lucani,
Bruttii or Campani.
 Both sets of 24 figures will be on release at Salute 2016 at ÂŁ17.95 each.

Schick, aber bei dem Preis bekommt  man schon fast alles ebenso in Zinn

[Tellus]

Aber halt nur halb so geil!

[Dareios]

Mir faellt da spontan kein Hersteller ein, der Samniten in der Qualitaet in Metal anbietet. Mithalten koennen da nur die Relic und Agema Sachen.

[steffen1988]

Die Samniten von Agema sind aber auch nur Köpfe für die Römischen Plastikkörper.

[emigholz]

Trotzdem tue ich mir schwer bei der neuen Preispolitik von Victrix blind mitzumachen. Bei den kleineren Packs also 24 und 12er stimmt fĂĽr mich der Preis fĂĽr Plastik leider nicht mehr.

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.
