Wow, those are nice models and you made them look great! The ammo was a nice touch as well. This is from Newline´s 20mm range right?
So what Caesar set did the figures come from?

Mateus30 Jun 2015 12:27 p.m. PST

You're right, Jack, it's Newline.

The crew is from Caesar Roman Legionaries H0041.

To be honest you wrote they were Newline in your blog.grin I just wanted to make sure they were from the 20mm range.

You mentioned you didn´t like the crew, but were they clearly too small compared to the Caesar figures? I am curious because I am having problems finding enough Zvezda Republican Romans sets to complete my army and am looking at alternatives.

Absolutely super! Just ordered some 'sample' EIR's from Newline, looking to be a wise move.

Jack, those are from their 20mm line, which is the only scale they offer those roman catapults at, I believe.

The problem with the crew was not exactly their size, but rather their heroic proportions, which don't go well with the rest of my roman army, all realistically scaled, as usual for 1/72 plastic kits.

Thanks Mateus, I didn´t see the catapults on their site until later- they were hidden under miscellaneous.
