Victrix Ltd - 28mm Spartan Hoplites 5th to 3rd Century BC

Hot on the heels of the Athenian Hoplites comes Victrix Ltd's Spartan Hoplite boxed set.

As with the Athenian boxed set, there are 48 figures, contained of 6 frames, each holding 8 figures. In fact the basic torso/leg parts are exactly the same and so previous comments hold true here.

The difference is in the variety of weapons and musical instruments supplied and of course a whole new set of Spartan heads. I must say that these heads are very characterful and really make this set stand out form the Athenian counterparts!

As expected he figures are moulded well, with virtually no flash and they construct easily, basically adding the head, from a selection of variants, plus shield arm and weapon arm. There are a mix of swords and thrusting spears on each frame as well as a set of arms holding a set of pipes to be played by a musician.

Victrix Ltd - 28mm Athenian Hoplites 5th to 3rd Century BC

The first departure from Napoleonics for Victrix Ltd. and their foray into the ancient Greek world has been a canny step - judging by the quality of this product.

The box contains 48 figures, contained of 6 frames (see right), each holding 8 figures. That said there are only 4 torso / leg variations on each frame, so Victrix have missed a trick in providing added variety.

Victrix Ltd - 28mm Napoleon's Middle Imperial Guard

This is Victrix Ltd's latest Napoleonic release, and the boxed set contains an impressive 60 figures that can be made up to field Middle Guard regiments during the 1812-1824 campaigns.

The box contains four identical frames, each with 15 miniatures therein, all the figures are wearing greatcoats (including officers , drummers and standard bearers) and there is a selection of 16 shako and bearskins adorned heads per frame, allowing you some flexibility in how each figure is uniformed.

The figures are also supplied with separate backpacks, that have to be attached to poses that include marching, firing and reloading.

Each figure is cleanly moulded and well designed and compatible with other figures in the range, so parts are interchangeable for great variety if required.

Victrix Ltd - 28mm Waterloo British Infantry, Centre Companies

This is the first release by Vitrix Ltd. and will be the beginnings of a large range of Napoleonic subjects by the Company. their approach is slightly diffrent from other manufacturers, in that the well stocked box, will only provide figures to represent center companies of regiments.

To field flank companies you will need to purchace an additional box of teh appropriately named 'Waterloo British Infantry, Flank Companies'.

The box contains 52 figures with Belgic shakos and includes command figures for officers, standard bearers, NCO’s, drummers, as well as 4 paper flags and fast play rules.

The figures are well proportioned and a delight when built, however, they do require an investment of time to build, due to the large number of small parts - all arms, heads and backpacks are seperate, which then need to be added to the basic torso/legs piece. Note one figure on each frame has seperate legs as well.

Each figure frame contains 13 figures of Britsh Waterloo Flank company, there is also a secondary frame containing heads, arms, backpacks, sergeant, officer and musician parts.
