Black Tree have a good range of Roman artillery pieces, half a dozen different designs, although the crewmen aren't particularly great. I replaced some with Foundry conversions.
There are some other models on my blog:- link Warlord have some good pieces too, with smaller crewmwen, as do Newline. Cheers, Simon |

Tnkmodels, I also like the Warlord pieces. I have a Roman ballista from RAFM minatures that is my favorite. They are closer to 25mm, but the ballista model fits in well with my Old Glory and Foundry Romans and is not the typical ballista in construction. |

OLD glory has some good pieces. Also BTD has some great pieces also!!! Mike P.S. Hi Simon |

Hi Mike! One thing about ancient artillery pieces, is that they are fairly scale independent; some 28mm pieces would work with 18mm, and vice versa. Alas same can't be said of the crews. BTD do an absolutely huge ballista, I have one tucked away for a rainy day… Cheers, Simon |

Cheers, i did not know that BTD made so many.
