Gripping Beast - Late Roman Infantry


Box Art - Front
Box Art - Back










Inside you will find parts to assemble 44 finely-detailed ferocious Late Roman Infantry, armed with either swords, spears or bows.

The box consists of 8 x figure frames, see picture below, plus 2 x command frames. Each of the Figure frames has two archers plus three torsos that can be modelled with a number of different weapon options. There are seven different heads to use across the five figures on each frame to give variety.
Figure Frame

The archer figures are moulded in firing positions so there is no flexibility with these two guys n each frame.

The set also contains two Command Frames each of which provide parts to assemble an officer and a musician or standard bearer.

The average soldier of the late Roman Empire could be found serving on the frontiers of Britannia, Germania or even in the east in Syria.

By this time in Romes history many of the legions comprised of auxiliaries recruited from a variety of vassals and allies, including Germanic tribes such as the Franks and Goths.

This boxed set comes with sixteen 20x20mm bases, two 20x100mm bases, two 20x40mm bases and two 40x40mm bases from Renedra.
