So it has come to my attention that Legio Heroica has the exact kind of armours and units that I would like to have. However, will I need to drill the holes in for weapons? How does it work? Because unfortunately I'm unable to do that. |

No need to drill. The hands are formed to take whichever weapon you use.
I use a two-compound epoxy glue with no problem. However, the weapons are cast in soft metal, so I do replace the lances and pike with brass wire. Cheers,

Here is an earlier post concerning Legio Heroica. TMP link |

Thank you!
Also, I'm assuming that they're made of metal/resin? |

They are metal. My wife and friend and I went together on a big order of crusaders and Saracens, and they are really nice figures. We also replaced the pewter spears with wire ones. There are a lot of photos of all 3 armies here: link Every figure you see is Legio Heroica. |

@ snodipous,
Very nice paint jobs and the Saracens are especially colorful! |

I had a recent Legio Heroica order and the figures came with wire spears rather than the old soft metal ones. I guess he's gone over to wire spears now, and these are included in the packs. |

Legio Heroica are great figures and Giuseppe is really a great guy to work with…highly recommend them. Allen |

As Allen said. Giuseppe has great stuff and his service is first class. |

I got wire spears – hands already open. I'm going to glue the spears in after basing so that they have a completely solid support Being (well me …) I decided the wire spears were too thick, so making my own ….. The late Romans I got are exquisite models John |

One more question, what is the best kind of glue for these models? Just normal super glue, or is there a better kind? |
