Victrix - Athenians, Spartans, Thebans

[midismirnoff]

they look lovely indeed! I very like the spartans!!

But what's wrong with the immortal ones? I really haven't seen them yet, though.

Personally I'd like them being more crispy in details; I see those victrix here have a more detailed armor. I also agree they're boring in their poses. Anyway they are easy to build and the parts fit well.

The Victrix Hoplites look swell... I wouldn't worry much about them being late or early... Research is muddy on that anyway.

Looking forward to getting some of these

Beautiful looking figures.
Glad I have many projects to work on,
 so will not be tempted to buy them.

When I saw some of the 3ups at Salute 2010 I knew that after Napoleonics these Greeks will be my next period to collect. As I did not really want to wait I checked out the Immortals and was quite disappointed by the bad casts......
So now its back to Victrix again which I love for their possibility of many different poses although the aasembling is sometimes a bit boring for me being more a paiting than a conversion guy.

So now its just wait until they hit the shelves.

There's a discussion over on Frothers which, for once, generates more light than heat about the choices made by the designers of the two ranges:

These are gorgeous. I've been planning to pick up Tribes of Legend from Foundry and these will make a very suitable basis for some Argonauts, Odysseus' crew etc. Some of the Foundry figs are really not up to par unfortunately, or don't match the vision that I have for that particualr character. And I have a Sean Bean / Boromir head waiting for my Odysseus.... I had been considering the Immortal ones so this feedbak has been valuable.

These guys look pretty good to me but two things stand out to me, one is the shoulders on some of the figures looks a little off but it might just be the ways they have been put together. The second thing is separate heads for figures with long hair is a problem. The hair doesn't rest on the shoulder realistically on the Spartans.Still, these look nice and will certainly pick some up.

Were these available at Salute? Did anybody get some?

There was mention of the Athenians being released today, with Thebans and Spartans in the weeks ahead.
Should be interesting to hear if they have stuck to this schedule!

I'm not sure why so many plastic hoplons seem to be supplied with shield aprons/curtains - I thought that they were more of an Ionian thing for use against armies with lots of archers, i.e. the Persians. At least, it looks as though the Victrix ones may be separate pieces.

No. They failed to get them out in time for Salute. Had a quick chat with Stephen of LBM and Victrix, and he reckoned another 2 or 3 weeks...

They appeared to also have some 3-ups for early Romans or Etruscans or something on their stand too, although I didn't look too closely.

Thanks!

Sounds intriguing. Any pics anyone?

These ones? Scroll down the page... but they are from Warlords...
