New Toys

Well my Victrix order arrived today and I got some of them built to see how they compare to the Warlord infantry and the Wargames Factory cavalry.

First up the infantry…

These would fit in well with the Warlord stuff. As it stands they probably be on their own as a pile of naked nutters bounding towards the Romans.

The cavalry are a different matter…

They won’t look too bad on the table, but I really doubt I will be able to match them in the same unit.

However, once again, these will be formed into their own units. The originals have no armour apart from the odd helmet, the Victrix ones are in mail. Therefore we have elites and more run of the mill types.

Either way these are a nice couple of sets.

The fanatics have four bodies and nine heads. Along with assorted weapon options.

The cavalry have three horse types, there are six halves but I haven’t tried to do different combinations. I would say not as the saddles are designed to fit a specific code.

These have four bodies  and ten different head options. They come with seven crest options and a couple of cloaks.

Again lots of weapon options as well as three types of shield (well diameter of shield would be a better description). This is compared to the six the infantry have.

They go together well. Upon saying that, one body does have a right arm configuration which requires a certain selection of arms. Left hand weapons are also available as the musician shown has a gap for the right arm and a gap for the left hand.

The ones from yesterday have been undercoated. I am just waiting for the paint to cure.
