Republican units and other stuff....

Postby KjetilKverndokken » Mon Nov 24, 2008 12:31 pm

Are there any thoughts about making some soldiers from the Republican era?


Like, Hastati, Triarii and Principes among a few. Also, the Lorica Segmentata was not used the most, the Lorica Hamatata (chainmail variant) where the most commonly used. And the Hastati wore a simple bronseplate in front and back.

Also the possibility for roman Elephant units would be great to.

I could buy them from other produsent (maybe), but I lie to stick to one, as the designs are more connected, and Warlord Games have the best ones so far.

And as a last note, what about more to the auxilliaries? Like Greek, spanish and other italian units amon some, the ones now is a bit generic.

I like the idea of auxilliaries from around the world too. First we have the generic ones, then the archers and slingers, then the Nubians. Hmm, good thinking Kjetil.

Yeah, it would be a good deal to develop, but then again, a lot of people would buy models like this, me included to make as close to realistic Roman army possible.

I would also like to see Polybian legionaries, their allies and enemies of the Early Roman Republic.


Though most people's idea of a Roman is the EIR type of legionary from Warlord.

Personally, I know that Warlord is making all of these new ranges, and this is really cool, but IMO they kind of need to finish the Celts and Romans first, then move on. A couple of units I would like to see are:

Multipart Plastic generic auxiliaries.

Multipart Plastic auxiliaries from around the empire.

Multipart Plastic cavalry, auxiliary and either legionary or if were really spoilt, praetorian.

Multipart Plastic General and Standard.

Multipart Plastic Celtic Chieftain.

Multipart Plastic Celtic Archers. (They did exist, they are just rarely noted.)

Multipart Plastic Celtic Woodsmen. (category of trackers who used to fight with two handed axes.)

If were really lucky, some greek hoplites, but thats for a far later date.

By authority of the Ordo Lupus.
