Several of the gladiuses (gladii?) and pilums (pila?) Have snapped off my Foundry and OG 28mm Romans. Where can I get replacements?
Thx
Mike

Did you check the Foundry weapons packs? I not sure how many spears come in a weapons pack but it is quite a few, and I believe they sell for about $7 USD a pack.

I bought the packs last year from Foundry and they're what you're looking for.

Wish I counted the contents so I could tell you how many in a pack.

What about the gladiuses? Are they available too?

Just checked Foundry pages. Found the pilums but no joy on the gladius. Anyone got any ideas on 28mm gladius acquisition sources?

Aventine have them, the gladii are not listed but available and in the same size as Foundry

I actually use the Aventine pilums their cast weapons, and they are very sturdy and look great!

Aventine get my vote. They do the best cast weapons and their service is top notch.

Another thumbs up for Aventine! They saw my initial post here contacted me and I had replacement roman weapons in hand in less than 5 days here in middle USA. Can't beat that for service!
Bravo to the Aventine team!
