Hi All,
Here's some pics of our new plastic Republican Romans, fresh off the sprue and prepped ready for painting.
We have these guys up on our website available as a pre-order for collection at Salute, or dispatch once the show is over. £25.00 GBP for 40 figures, or £30.00 GBP for 56 if you opt for our Legionary and Velite bundle deal. We will also have our metal command figures available too.

Here's some pics of the metal command painted up. These guys are £6.00 GBP for 4 figs.
Cheers Greg |

These look great Greg. Good luck with your new venture, the figures look good and ill certainly be buying to bulk out my romans. I did check your site and none of the links worked for me except the cart itself.. Details, the pics at the bottom etc. i am using an iPad. Maybe others could check and see if they work for them. Do you also have a size comparison anywhere next to say Foundry, just so customers could judge whether they'd be a good fit. |

Looks like the bundle deal would give you most of a DBA army and then some. |

Those look incredible! And are priced very well. All you need is Gauls and you'll have a permanent customer ;) Thanks

Do they come with shield transfers? LBM perhaps? |

Hi JezEger,
Thanks! Hmm, our current site isn't optimised for iPad or mobile, so that could be the reason it's not working. We have a new site built that hopefully we'll be able to put live soon which is fully iPad and mobile compatible, so it should be much easier. If you can't wait and want to order, drop me a mail to agema.miniatures@gmail.com and I can manually process for you.
We'll try and get a size comparison posted soon.
Wrgmr1 – we don't have any shield transfers available yet. Still a work in progress.
Cheers

Lovely stuff! At last Non-uniform plastic Romans! That said I don't need Triarii! What is the ratio of Triarii to Hastati / Pricipes? |
| Porkmann | 04 Apr 2014 1:48 p.m. PST |
Just visited your site. Only eight old timers, still a good value set as far as I am concerned! |
| JezEger | 04 Apr 2014 2:30 p.m. PST |
Tx Greg. I mentioned the iPad thing more as an FYI in case you weren't aware. I have several other machines I can use.
Porkman, triarii made up the third line of the legion which was in turn made up of equal parts hastati, principles and triari. From what I can tell they looked the same as principles with a different helmet. So long as you have enough pila to swap for their spear I don't think you'd notice. I am notoriously laid back on such things though, ymmv. |

Beautiful and well animated pieces ! |
| Generalstoner49 | 04 Apr 2014 3:30 p.m. PST |
What is the scale on these figures? Are they true 25mm or closer to 28mm? |
| Porkmann | 04 Apr 2014 3:42 p.m. PST |
Hopefully interchangeable with Victrix forthcoming Romans! |

They look like the best plastic Romans out. |

Porkman,
Agema's earlier post re these said their 40-figures consisted of 8 kneeling Triarii and 16 each of the Hastati and Principes – which is believed to be the correct ratio according to contemporary Roman sources. A legion would also have the same number of Velites as Triarii ( i.e. 16) making a total of 56 figures.Hope that helps. |
| JezEger | 05 Apr 2014 11:45 a.m. PST |
Duh, you're right WK, my bad. same number of units, but each half strength of the hastati and principles, thus half the troops.
Does anyone reflect this in their games, ie smaller units of triarii? Mine are all the same size, just less units. |
| Monophthalmus | 05 Apr 2014 1:41 p.m. PST |
Hi All,
Thanks for the kind words – really glad you like them! Size wise they are 28mm foot to eye. We've tried to stick with anatomically correct proportions for the figures; I think there are a few comparisons out there of our earlier Velites box set which might help. Here's a link to an earlier TMP post.

Very nice looking figures. almost Good for a DBA army. The 2.2 list is
1x3Cv (Gen), 1x3Cv, 6x4Bd, 2x4Sp, 2x2Ps.
6 cavalry
24 Hastati and Principes
8 Triarii.
4 velites (not 16) You can use the same for DBA III but option for some Ax allies |

Damn, I said to myself no more Romans as I have Marian, EIR, MIR, LIR and Patrician… but these boys look nice enough to break that resolution! |
| Monophthalmus | 06 Apr 2014 2:31 a.m. PST |
Hi dragonfan79,
Far be it from me to dissuade you! As you have nearly every Roman combination going, one more to complete the set wouldn't hurt! :-)
Cheers
