"Victrix 28mm Hard Plastic Numidian infantry" Topic

Here are some new renders of the Numidian infantry set we have been working on in-between the Roman legionaries.

The set will comprise of 24 miniatures with 4 figures on a frame with arm, head and shield options to make Numidian close order infantry or javelin skirmishers. There are also command parts such as a trumpet, sword arm and standard bearer arm to make command figures.

The infantry in helmets with oval Thureos shields represent King Syphax and Jugurthas Roman trained infantry. They were an attempt to create a close order fighting force. Still the majority of Numidian infantry would have been light javelin armed skirmishers with a round hide shield.

We have include a few kit bashed renders to show you some of the possible alternatives you will be able to make from this very useful and versatile set of miniatures.

You can easily make more Greek javelin men variants by adding Peltast shields and heads from the Greek Peltast set and bare heads from the Spanish and Velites. By adding a Roman scutums and helmets you can easily make troops for the slave revolt or add variants to the Numidian close order fighting troops. They could also be used for some Biblical warriors as well.

We will now move back to working on the Romans and hope to be able to show the marching legionary figures in about 2 weeks, it will then be on to the Roman command.

Very nice.
Michael.

Dammity! They look great.

THEY LOOK GREAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Cavalry? When will there be cavalry for all these wonderful plastic armies ypou are making.

Are they not what I need for a Jughurta army ?

Nicely done Steve – bit of variation for my Carthaginians.

Now what about some Gauls (and we did mention Dacians I think…….). Spanish Cavalry renders were shown some time ago as well?

Damon, I've just bought a 15mm numidian army and now wish I'd waited… mind you, the 15mm guys are almost finished. Nothing wrong with having two scales!

Lovely. I could use the helmet heads for Assyrian period warriors and some bear heads look Egyptian.

I think this will be another excellent addition to your ancients, potentially useful in a great variety of armies.
If I could make a request, could you please try to minimize the use of joints at the wrist. Although I use a good plastic glue, sometimes I have trouble getting a good bond and I think it increases the chance of damage during gaming.

Zargon : check here and rejoice…. link

Holy Moly. Victrix is not helping my addiction at all…."Hello, my name is Dave and I slobber when I see Victrix ancient plastics!'

Enormous potential!

Numidian cavalry appears to have been released. They are now available on the Victrix website.

Your models are beautiful, they justify plastics to God and deserve to put all but a handful of figure manufacturers a solid six feet under the commercial dirt. That said, please diversify your ranges: there are many, many gamers out there ready to blow hot discretionary wads on more exotic ranges.

I can't complain about any of the ranges they've already launched. Numidian plastics, yum. Iberian infantry, yes please. The Legions of the Republic are amazing. Carthaginians and Samnites aren't so relevant to me but they're good sets which seem to fill gaps in the market.

I would love to see some late Hellenistic troops, Judeans, Cappadocians, Galatians, Cilicians, Armenians, Thracians and Pontics as these seem to be gaps in the market and ones I'd like my collection to include. But I don't know how realistic that is.
