Aren't There Enough of These Already?
Indeed, this is one of the most common ranges and one for which nearly every manufacturer makes some figures; however, we believe the subject is so extensive and complex that it is far from being covered adequately. Most Marian Roman ranges currently available in reality consist of only a few packs, and rely on Early Republican (Punic Wars) and Early Imperial figures to fill the ranks… We know there are important differences, and the sheer size of the time and events covered by this period is truly epic: Gaius Julius Caesar, Gnaeus Pompeius Magnus, Quintus Sertorius, Gaius Marius, Lucius Cornelius Sulla Felix, Marcus Licinius Crassus, Marcus Antonius, Marcus Aemilius Lepidus, Marcus Vipsanius Agrippa, Octavian Augustus; the conquest of Gaul, the invasion of Britain, the Civil War, Spartacus' slave revolt, Sertorian Wars, Germanic invasions, the Mithridatic War, the Social War; the Siege of Alesia, the Battle of Dyrrhachium, Pharsalus, Aquae Sextiae, Chaeronea, Carrhae, Actium, Ruspina, Thapsus, Munda… So nope, I don't think the subject has been nearly covered well enough yet!
As you may know, we are already producing a range of high-quality wargame miniatures for many Dark Age armies, sized at "standard" 15mm and designed to be fully compatible with other top quality 15mm figures like Essex and Corvus Belli. Currently, our range already includes Vikings, Carolingian Frankish, Norse Irish, Normans, German tribes, and Lombards.
We Now Want to Add Nothing Less Than the Mighty Legions of Caesar to Our Menu!
To improve the chances of making this happen, you can pick not only packs for this specific army, but from any of all the figures we already have, so you can take the occasion to get the figures you want at a great price, and also help us make more, new, interesting and diverse products!
So, What Are You Waiting For?
