I was wondering if the Roman legionaries of Victrix and Agema are compatibles, does anyone has any pictures for comparrison?
Thanks you

Yes they are.  The Agema poses are slightly stiffer and more upright but they are almost identical in build.  I have some comparisons shots which I will post this evening (they are on a different computer).  I also did a link to this on this board but since we cannot now sort by 'started by' I can't find it except by wading back through the thread.

Good to know, I'm concerned about the shields since they seems to be' different, I hope they're not too different.

I would assume minor variations in shield design were the norm back then. I for one tend to mix the different manufacturers in order to get a slightly less ‚industrialized‘ look.

The shields are a different design, the Agema ones are is slightly larger and thinner than the Victrix ones.  That said you get quite a few extra shields in the Vixtrix box so that small numbers of Agema figures can be given Victrix ones.  Alternatively I would give the Triarii Agema shields so that with their long spears they look very distinctive.  Pics to follow.

I actually need them to be converted like this:

They're essentially a militia/auxilliary force for my renaissance army (for non historical games Onlus), so the shields could be a problem but I guess I'll find out a solution.

Here is the comparison pic.

Left is Victrix body with an Agema Head and right is an Agema body with a Victrix head.

Hope that helps
