Victrix Germanic Warriors
« on: September 12, 2019, 09:07:51 PM »
New from Victrix.
Here the first two of the tribe. I love the looted Roman armour/ helmets.

Yes, agreed. They capture a very specific 'wouldn't want to be Varus' sort of feel.

Beautiful.  So much so that I have just gone straight to the Victrix website and ordered a pack!

Nice painting on nice figs.  I don't suppose you could show them side by side with some of their Gauls you painted?

Good for Batavian revolt?
Em dezembro de '81
Botou os ingleses na roda
3 a 0 no Liverpool
Ficou marcado na história
E no Rio não tem outro igual
Só o Flamengo é campeão mundial
E agora seu povo
Pede o mundo de novo

Surprised by the inclusion of looted Roman equipment, thought that would be a great kitbashing opportunity, but not something to include in the actual set (especially given limited timeframes for the armour in question, while the rest of the Germanics are arguably quite flexible given relatively scarce information).

Anywho, great painting as always!

Certainly made me interested in grabbing a set once I get some other things finished (too many figures in those Victrix boxes!). Could combine well with the plastic Celtic cavalry too. Looks like a nice array of head options, shouldn't be difficult to build a bunch without using those topknot-ponytails sculptors seem to love, but an actual warrior probably would not...

It's the wrong armour for the Teutoburger Wald. Varus would be turning in his grave, if he had one.
