Just to clarify..out of the 60 odd figures 4 have looted Roman EIR armour.
And also very few top knots.
I might have given the wrong impression here by starting with the command sprue with the special parts. I’ll get some rank and file Germans in as soon as I can!
They are very nicely compatible with the Gauls and Romans so there’s a fair bit of room for conversions. I’m actually gonna use some parts for my Vikings  8)

Cheers

Excellent stuff, thanks for sharing  :)

I own a lot of Foundry ancient Germans, has someone an idea whether they match to these Victrix  guys  ???

Now that's a nice hairstyle.  ;)
Glad to see he's wearing trousers too, from the sprue pics I thought it was just a bit of fur; this is much better.

Could these heads be put on say, the GB dark age warriors to make somewhat correct early Franks?

Does anyone know if Victrix plans on releasing a box of Germanic cavalry?  I thought I saw this somewhere but can't find anything online.

Thanks!

To quote Varus immediately pre-suicide: Mea culpa. I have now found that, contrary to my belief, the lorica segmentata was indeed worn by some legionaries at this time. Note to self: keep up to date with research, or at least not assume information gleaned years  or decades ago is still valid.
