Warlord Games - 28mm 1812-1815 Russian Line Infantry

This boxed set allows you to build 32 figures representing Russian Line Infantry in the Napoleonic Wars, fighting as they did, against the French.

The set actually contains 4 metal and 28 plastic figures. As usual the metal figures are to represent the command figures with a regiment, the plastic figures provide your rank and file.

As such, the set contains 7 frames (see above right), each of which allows you to build 4 marching figures. Assembly is simple, attach pack-pack & equipment piece and then select a head - for which you have option of a helmet with or without a plume- then you are done!

A great kit for building up the massed ranks required for any Napoleonic game but which is particularly important for Russian armies.

Warlord Games - 28mm Married Zulu Regiment

Box Art

 The Zulu army was a formidable foe. Well-trained, well-led, and well-equipped for campaigns, the Zulu regiments were the terror of Africa. Created by the great Shaka, founder of the nation, each regiment was composed of small companies who trained together, and a regiment could be 1,000 men strong.

They were then brigaded together to form divisions that could move at great speed and with drilled precision, forming the classic Zulu attack formation of the Horns of the Buffalo.


The military system formed units into married and unmarried units, so a cadre of young men would be forced to remain unmarried on the King's orders until they had 'washed their spears' in the blood of their enemies.

They are armed with throwing spears, smoothbore muskets and the deadly stabbing short spear whilst their patterned ox-hide shields help identify their parent regiment.

Figure Frame

Once they were blooded, and only then, would they sew in the characteristic head ring which is the symbol of a mature and married warrior, showing his much enhanced status in society.

Each boxed set contains 8 frames, each containing enough parts to make up 4 figures., each figure is armed with a shield and a variety of weapons ranging from Assagis, Knobkerrys, rifles or throwing spear. Each frame also has 7 heads to add variety to the figures.

The leader of the regiment is a metal figure that is supplied with the boxed set.

Agema Miniatures - 28mm Republican Roman Velites

This is the first release by Agema Miniatures, the set contains 16 figures representing Republican Roman Velites (Light Infantry) from the time of the Punic Wars.

The box contains 8 frames, see below, each of which contains two figures, which have the typical format - torso and legs to which can be added arms and a head. There is a set of arms and a head for each figure, with no additional options - so basically enough to make two complete figures per frame.

Thus the range of poses achievable is similarly limited - you'll need to use your imagination and modelling skills to add more variety! That said the figures are moulded well - as we have come to expect from Rendara Ltd. 

Velites Frame

From each frame can be made a figure holding a sword and another holding a javelin, there are two shields to pick from , one with additional javelins attached and for those troops who are to be modelled as veterans there are some Wolfskin cloaks to be added.

These figures are bigger that Warlord Games Imperial Romans, I have not yet compared to their Caeser's Legion offerings for a size comparison.

A good starter pack from a new company.

Warlord Games - 28mm Dacian Falxmen

Box Art

The Dacians, originally from what is largely modern Romania, were one of the Romans most fierce opponents, they fought two wars with Rome.

Fighting principally as infantry, the Dacians allied themselves with the highly skilled horsemen, and women, of Sarmatia, making a balanced and very powerful enemy force to fight, as the Romans found out to their cost.

The most terrifying and effective Dacian troops were those armed with the lethal falx – a wicked looking double-handed war scythe that could shatter a shield and carve off a limb with a single blow. So fearsome was this weapon, the Romans developed additional armour to protect arms, legs and heads from it’s devastating impact.

Figure Frame

The boxed set contains 42 plastic & metal foot figures, the plastics being based on 4 of the Celt frames reviewed elsewhere on this site, also included are full-colour waterslide shield design decals. Also included in the boxed set is a carnyx and a standard bearer.

The frames (see below right) are the basic Celt products, that are reviewed as such elsewhere on this site. 

Figure Frame

The boxes set also contains a metal upper torso to allow to you to include a British Chieftain as well as new carynx and standards.

Gordon and Hague - 15mm Union Brigade

Box Art

As with their Confederate Brigade boxed set, Gordon and Hague's primary offering is a mixed set of Infantry, Cavalry and Artillery.

The figures in both Union and Confederate sets are the same, just the ratios of figure types being varied.

Figures should allow for the creation of 5 x 16 model Infantry regiments, 1 x 6 model Cavalry Regiment and 2 x Artillery sections.

In reality these numbers are a little short for 15mm games, where the infantry regimental size might more likely be 24 and cavalry more likely 12 models. Additionally a typical Artillery piece might be served by 3 or 4 figures on the table top, rather than just two.

The Union Brigade Box Set contains the following items:

20 Infantry with slouch hats advancing
50 infantry with kepis advancing
5 infantry captains
4 artillery crewmen
5 infantrymen with flagpoles
5 cavalry riders with swords
1 cavalry rider with flag pole
1 Mounted Officer
7 horses
2 artillery guns
20 pre-textured infantry movement trays
3 pre-textured cavalry movement trays
2 pre-textured artillery movement tray
1 pre-textured officer movement tray

Gordon and Hague - 15mm Confederate Brigade

Box Art

 As with their Union Brigade boxed set, Gordon and Hague's primary offering is a mixed set of Infantry, Cavalry and Artillery.

The same notes apply regarding regimental sizes that an be created with this set as applied to the Confederate set. If you do opt for a larger regimental size, it would free up some infantry officers who could supplement the artillery crews, that are very short in numbers in both sets.

The Confederate Brigade Box Set contains the following items:

20 Infantry with kepis advancing
50 infantry with slough hats advancing
5 infantry captains
4 artillery crewmen
5 infantrymen with flagpoles
