It’s been quite a while since we first mentioned this horde of hairy Hun but we are happy to say that they are almost here! The latest boxed set in our Ancient Armies range are the ferocious Germanic Tribesmen (http://shop.warlordgames.co.uk/28mm-germanics-200-c.asp). (http://www.warlordgames.co.uk/neo/wp-content/uploads/2009/11/germanic_tribesmen_box_cover.jpg) (http://www.warlordgames.co.uk/neo/wp-content/uploads/2009/11/germanic_tribesmen_box_cover.jpg)
Each boxed set contains all the characteristics you’d expect from the Germans - Suebian knots, topknots, clubs, animal skins and other such suitable tribal features abound.

We’ve also created a completely new command set with a suitably ferocious horn blower for sounding the charge or improvising and clubbing down any foolish enemies who get in his melee range!

As befits the nature of the Germanic tribes some of them wear looted Roman arms and armour - trophies or perhaps more sturdy replacements for their native apparel. Of course, the floor of the Teutoberg forest would provide ample opportunity to so equip themselves…

Using the same system that we’ve demonstrated with out Ancient Britons (http://shop.warlordgames.co.uk/28mm-ancient-britons-146-c.asp) and Dacian Warhost boxed sets (http://shop.warlordgames.co.uk/28mm-dacians-179-c.asp), our Ancient German Tribesmen are composed of both plastic and metal parts. Using this method you can assemble your troops in a huge number of variants.
