CGM (Campaign Game Miniatures)have acquired the Testudo 15mm Caesarian Roman and Gaul ranges but using a far superior metal and making our own new moulds. We have added at least 20 more variants of infantry plus new personalities: Octavio (Augustus Cesar), Mark Anthony, Brutus, Casio, Silla and Mario and 2 new mounted Centurians.
See them on our new web here: link

They look good how would they mix with Essex?

campaigner Sponsoring Member of TMP02 Jan 2014 6:04 a.m. PST

Not very well as Essex are a bit smaller in height.

WCTFreak02 Jan 2014 6:29 a.m. PST

4.4€ for six 15mm soldiers ? I wont buy these….

TiberiusAugustus02 Jan 2014 7:45 a.m. PST

Pretty sure they come 8 to a pack.

ancientsgamer02 Jan 2014 8:05 a.m. PST

Please don't advertise these as 15mm though. They are definitely 18mm figures and are among the biggest figures I have seen in this sizing. They are great figures though and the shields are really nice!

Panfilov02 Jan 2014 8:13 a.m. PST

Enormous, the Gauls I have are (were) exiled to the "Land of the Giants" Nice sculps though.

Cool! I have been looking for Imperial command types to paint up for my Roman project.

Thanks for posting this.

4.4€ for eight soldiers, actually! the sixes seem to be command packs. Still, you pays your money (or not, in this case) and takes your choice.

Good to hear that they are back in production, and agree fully on the scale comments

Here's a couple of comparison shots to help;

Compared to (some of the big) Xyston and Warmodelling link

They look fine with the Xyston and Warmodelling. Probably fit well with the Tin Soldier Gauls then too, I imagine.

Redcurrant05 Jan 2014 8:48 a.m. PST

Nice to see someone doing the important characters besides Caesar.

I have just ordered some, so my armies will soon be led by Marius, Sulla, Pompey, Anthony, Octavius, Cassius and Brutus. I already have a Caesar model.

Only ones missing from the outstanding period of Roman history are Lucullus (to fight Pontics), Agrippa (to fight Anthony), and Crassus (to fight Spartacus and Parthians).

yes 8 figure packs except command with 6 infantry.
Cavalry packs of 3 figures or one two or three personalities.
Plues the Cesar packs wih Mounted Caesar or Octavio o Pompeye with 3 littori and 1 Signifier. OK Steve will work on the other personalities you mention. Always open to suggestions.
Thanks to all for comments especialy to Madaxeman for showing comparative pics with Xyston and Warmodelling which I also stock! ;-))
Linto to my Ancients catalogues.

Campaigner, do you have a rep in the US carrying your figures?

Here is a link for my Testudo Marians and Gauls, hard to believe they are 15mm. GREAT FIGURES but do not mix with Essex. In separate units who cares?
