Will boxes without command figures be available? The sets are a bit command heavy for my tastes and it would be nice to have the option to get more regular line troops.

Hi Jeff -- the boxes are designed to allow you to field 3 Battle Groups of Legionaries for the Late Republican Roman list in Field of Glory's Rise of Rome companion army list book.

You could alternatively create 2 large units with command and 18 legionaries in each (22 figure units) -- and take the extra command figures to create a vignette stand -- or use them for casualty markers with a little modeling!

All the best,

Could we get some photos of a ranked up unit so that we can see what it looks like? That would be awesome! Thanks and keep up the good work!

Looking forward to the actual figs - progress so far is very exciting, great work!

Not about to put the money down for a product sight-unseen, but excited about the eventual releases!

Excellent Idea! I see that the Perry's are doing the same with ACW. Unfortunately I have plenty of Roman 28's. I've been waiting for Napoleonics or Seven Yrs War stuff for some time, but I don't want to spend $1000 per army.

Have visited the workbench area and these miniatures look great! Looking forward to getting these and the Celts when they become available...:)

will there be pictures of the actual models on the boxes ? i remember AEG made the mistake of just using art on their boxes of clanwar, so you had no idea what the models looked like inside.

These look terrific. I'm actually just now putting together my Punic War romans and Carthaginians. How long will I have to wait to buy yours in this range? Thanks

Roma Victor!

Please, Please, Please, Please can we see a few painted minis. Happy Gaming! Allan

Looks good so far I agree with the majority of the other comments: pictures would be useful in making a descision about purchasing.

I love them when will they come out please tell when launch date is i love them so much i will buy at least 6 boxes i think

Everything sounds promising but I would like to see some photos of thee actual figures; both unpainted and painted, singularily and ranked up in a unit.

I'll be getting some of these, I just love the models. I'll be all over those Men-At-Arms and Bowmen for my Bretonnian army as well. ;)

pic's soon?

What happen, since 20 may the guys from this company don't give news ??? We want to see the models and have some news...

It is a bit strange that Wargames Factory and Warlord Games are both releasing Romans and Celts in 25-28mm hard plastic. Hopefully WF will get into the medieval support since WG already has their first Roman box on the market and is soon to release their Celts. In all honesty I would prefer to support an American company (and avoid trans-Atlantic shipping costs) than an English one but the quality of the miniatures is still the paramount concern. Please, Wargames Factory, let us see the goods!

Looks good. I think it's a fair value for the amount of mini's you get. Can't wait to see pictures of the sprues and samples of assembled minis.

I really do like these miniatures, but I was wondering if you might include bases for the miniatures and a list of possible ways to organize the figs so that they best fit the Field of Glory rules? I think that they are awesome though.

Hi any release date for romans , they seem a bit like Billy Bunter's Postal order,ie always due but never arriving. Will there be just one type of transfer in these boxes or several different transfers.

I am trying to make a small list with what will come in the roman army box of minitures but I have a couple of questions. 1.) I am asuming that the Centurions, Optios, Signifers,and Cornicens are not actually command figs because if they are modeled separatley then you do not have enough figs to make 4 bases with 4 models each for 3 battle groups (48 models exactly). So if those special figs are to be modeled in with the battle groups should I make just one base with one of each special fig for each battle group? Or should I spread them out, putting one of each special fig on separate bases within the same battle group? 2.) The models with throwing spears are clearly ment to be classed as heavy armoured given their large shields and metal amour that they are wearing. However, in the Rise of Rome book the only spear throwing fig listed is un armoured. So I am allowed to officially alter the models profile and point cost according to the main rules so that my models capabilites are acuratly represented? I know thats alot but I greatly appreciate any feed back.

Hi Michael, You will probably want your Centurion, Signifer, and Cornicen in the front row of your BG with the Optio in the rear row. If you do larger BGS (more than 16-figures) you can also take some of these and use them on a Command stand. Re: designation of LRR in the Field of Glory books. Historically, legionaries threw their pilum prior to charging in with their scutum (shield) and gladius (sword). You might want to make a post up on the Field of Glory forums at http://www.fieldofglory.com to ask about this. Hope that helps! Tony Tony Reidy Wargames Factory

RE: The pilum throwing: This is considered part of the impact phase and not actual 'shooting'. Much like Tony says, they were only used prior to contact - not as a sustained missle. Hey Tony, any way we can see examples of the battle groups using your figures? I would really like to see how these form up on FoG bases.

I feel a civil war coming on having just read Ospreys Philippi and Caesars Civil Wars. But if you have any influence over Osprey steer them towards Alesia as a title as that could stimulate intrest in buying Gauls. Great figures though now waiting with baited breath for Northstar to start selling them in the UK.

Finally!! Good news, the troops are marching out. Now, When will the Celts be coming. A date would be nice.

Really cool!! Cant Wait To get one. But it would be cool if in workbench you saw more photos of when they were painted...

yeah would be nice to be able to get them in the uk - they do look good and marian legionaries are not too well represented among the established manufacturers. suppose i'll have to wait a while for the persians!

Northstar are now selling these in the UK and my orders in!

Good looking work guys and gals! Can't wait for the Imperial Legions.

Got these yesterday via Caliver Books - well worth the wait and the extra compensation for that - like the models both lots! It will be great to multipose these guys, as other ranges are very limited.

Picked these up at Fall In and just finished assembly and priming. Detail level is really nice. They are very close in style and size to the old Foundry Caesareans and also the stuff Copplestone did for Companion. Highly recommended. Especially when you would have to pay over 100 bucks to get the same # of Foundry figures.

I am still waiting for the box pre-ordered here, but I couldn't wait any longer and ordered some from Cavalier Books. They arrived yesterday and I painted a legionary straight away. I agree with 'Centurion Bryan' 100%. GREAT value for money. I just hope they'll do more late republican Roman stuff (cavalry, auxiliaries, etc.) Well done, Wargames Factory! Cheers

Hi Labienus, can you contact me? I want to check on your order as all Roman pre-orders have all been shipped out for quite some time. You can quick on "Contact Us" at the top of the page to send an email. Thanks so much, Tony Tony Reidy Wargames Factory http://www.wargamesfactory.com
