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

Those are some good photos there, thanks for the link.
But those are Republican Romans, I think Captain Blood was talking about very early Romans (Roman hoplites, in fact, from the sounds of it).

Yes, these were definitely Italianate troops on the Victrix stand, not Warlord's.
They looked like early Republican Roman types to me - but to be fair, I only had a quick glance. I definitely saw sticky up feathers though, which always says Early Roman to my untutored eye...
Maybe they were Volscians, Samnites or something along those lines ;)

Don't think they've been seen in the flesh yet, only as 3 ups.

Ok thanks.  Got quite a few Foundry so I've got my fingers crossed I will be able to mix them, time will tell.

Any word on the release date?
Also, have any details come along on the Romans/Etruscans?

I've been wanting to have a go at the Hoplomachia for some time. If the figs are good I may start building some units for the Peloponnesian war.

Oh no! I already have so many projects and so little time!

But these are just too good!

By golly these look good. I've no use for them whatsoever, but I fear I shan't be able to resist a box just to make and paint a few  :)

Haha, that’s just great. I know that feeling.

I absolutely have no use for these, I have plenty of other projects.
But why o why do I want plastic Greeks now?

Hmm...these might work for a little Magna Graeca action in Sicily.
