I'm trying to source some late Roman armoured foot archers (as dismounted elite troops) for a 5th century western warlord's force. Aventine do some Early Byzantine armoured foot archers. I've bought some and they are excellent but they do look a bit too Eastern/Byzantine. I've modded some plastic armoured archers by using parts from some Victrix early Roman archers with some Wargames Atlantic late roman infantry. They are ok but the WA bodies are a bit rubbish; with drooping shoulders and overly long arms.
I've searched the other usual manufacturers but I'm not seeing any obvious candidates. All the archers are unarmoured. The obvious answer will probably be to combine Victrix late roman infantry with their Late Roman archers but neither set is out yet.
Anyone have any ideas where can buy these? Or easily mod/kitbash them?
