Agema Miniatures - 28mm Republican Roman Legonaries

Box Art
These boxed set represents Roman Legionaries and light infantry (‘Velites’), from the mid Republic Era of Roman History.

They are suitable for the numerous wars fought during this period against the Gauls of Northern Italy, the Etruscans in the North and the Samnites in the South of Italy, the Punic Wars against Carthage, the Macedonian / Seleucid Wars against King Phillip V, his son King Perseus, and the Seleucid Monarch Antiochus The Great, as well as the wars in Iberia and the conquests of Sicily and Sardinia.

This set contains an impressive 56 figures, made-up of the following - 16 Hastati (un-armoured or wearing pectoral armour), 16 Principes in Subermalis (a type of padded material armour) and also mail armour, as well as 8 Triarii in mail in their famous kneeling position armed with spears, ready to cover any retreat of their comrades.

Also included are 16 un-armoured infantry which can be made as Velites or used as additional, un-armoured Hastati. In addition, they could be utilised as the somewhat mysterious Rorarii, who seem to have supported the Triarii in the 3rd line, but wore no armour.

Agema Miniatures


Agema Miniatures launched their first set of 28mm Plastic figures at Salute 2013, the company are a husband and wife team based in Bath, England.

Being Ancient wargamers themselves the team at Agema have focused on the Punic Wars as their first production period, with the release of the 28mm Velites in April 2013, the company are also using the popular Kick-Start program to get funding for their next venture - Punic War Roman Legionaries.
In the future they are planning to add sets of Carthaginian Citizen and Liby-Pheonician troops, as well as Spaniards and Celt-Iberians. They are also interested in the Hellenistic Wars.

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.
