Victrix Late Roman Unarmoured Infantry finally released

I'm curious to know how they kitbash w WA Late Romans?    Got  both kits in the mail so if no one else can  put up some photos I'll do so later.

Still waiting for my order to turn up but looking at the sprue images online I too would have liked to see more angons. In terms of the extra heads, I thinking they will be useful as options for the other kits like the armoured infantry and cavalry.

Got mine yesterday.  They are incredible.

First unit almost completed. I'm speedpainting with Citadel White Scar Primer followed by single coat of contrast paints and a quick drybrush of metallic. I've got another 48 to do, followed by 72 archers and 96 armoured infantry when Victrix release these, so no time to waste

Going forward, I'll do all the heads and any cloaks separately. The wrap-around cloaks, in particular, are a bit awkward since you can still see what's behind them.

I'm going to mix in some Footsore with the Victrix on my last unit of 24 unarmoured so that I can transfer a few of the armoured command over to my units based on Footsore and Aventine minis. I think they will mix fine.

Late Roman Archers and Slingers also now available. Look very nice. Six body options is good on each sprue and plenty of bow arms to choose from. Nothing much else though. No spears/swords etc to convert to light infantry. No scabbards to give the impression the minis have a sidearm and only 3 axes on each sprue. Seems a bit poor value at £34 vs. the 8 sprues you get on the unarmoured infantry for the same price.

Seen them this week, they look fabulous and have Pannonian hats so should be able to get a few more conversions from them. I will pick up a pack just for the staff slingers and adding bits to the wargames Atlantic kits to bash late 4th early 5th late Roman’s, warlord and goths.

I now have booth of the late roman sets and find the bodies mix well with the other parts. It gives you allot of options and can really make your command one of a kind.
