Here are some Italian allies from the 2015 Satrap Miniatures archives. These figures are all from the Victrix plastic box set Rome's Italian Allied Legions with Victrix shield transfers.

These troops look great! I could use some of these lads.
ReplyDeleteThanks Jonathan, they're great figures Victrix. You don't like plastics, I've never seen any on your blog?
DeleteI began miniatures Wargaming with Airfix plastics over forty years ago. Once I discovered metals, I have not returned to plastics. Doesn’t mean I wouldn’t ever consider them again. Yours really look great but I enjoy the heft of metals.
DeleteSame here with Airfix Ancient Britons and Romans. Fair enough, soft plastics and resin figures are quite different to hard plastics. It's interesting but a lot of gamers don't seem to like plastics at all...
DeleteI ought to give modern, hard plastics a try! I could use a Punic War cavalry.
DeleteThe Victrix Spanish, Gallic and Numidian sets are brilliant and you can make Carthaginian cavalry from the Republican Roman Cavalry set with heads from Warriors of Carthage.
DeleteBeautiful work!
ReplyDeleteThanks Michal.
DeleteSUperb, truly superb!
ReplyDeleteThanks Phil, I love the Victrix figures!
DeleteSuperb additions to your Ancients collection. I agree about the excellent Victrix figures.
ReplyDeleteThanks Dean, absolutely they're hard to beat.
DeleteGorgeous looking Italian allies, Victrix have a great range of ancients now!
ReplyDeleteBest Iain
Thanks Iain, they sure do, expanding in to the Dark Ages now.
DeleteI love these posts, I am looking at colors used, and more importantly shield transfer choices and how you placed them. Thanks for posting.
ReplyDeleteCheers

Thanks Kevin, I used lots of white in this unit for the shields and tunics because you have to use a white undercoat for the transfers anyway and it saves time painting other colours.
