Warlord Games- Hail Ceasar Roman heros.
Wow, these look great!
Nice poses and sculpts!
I am starting a kingdoms of men army for Mantic games Kings of War and I just ordered about 300 dollars' worth of miniatures.
I am planning on getting one of the kits to mix in with my Italian Allies for my Punic Wars Romans. Will mix in some Italian Shields and helmets as well of course. The double crest Hemlet reminds me of the Helmet the face on the Ksour Essef cuirass is wearing, in that it also is shown with a double crest like that.
A splendid observation. Looking at pictures of the Ksour Essef cuirass the similarity is indeed striking.
So when it says 48 highly detailed figures on the box it actually means seven.
Yeah essential the same poses but you change the arms and heads. You do get a bit of variation but I'd definitely recommend fusing them with the Athenian hoplite set.
Do you do the same thing with cavalry bases?
Have done similar with metals though I file the whole base to a sliver (more work, yes) before cutting (or at least cutting to separate feet) to avoid the platform shoes step and the file levelling of the feet; with metals, broken legs and the like are otherwise more problematic due to the stresses involved.
Yeah I'm with you on that one. For metals I do the same I just run them over a large file and wear them thin.
Nice tip! I may try this. And then magnetize :D
Good idea, Same way i do my figures, Good video 👍🎲
Thanks for watching!
Thanks, exactly what I was looking for! I've never had a Victrix kit but have been wanting to take the plunge, and after working with GW minis etc have been wary as some of the kits are very old now. This one seems like a great opportunity to give them a shot. Can you recommend the Early Imperial Roman range from Victrix? Also, do you remove mold lines ? I usually do this before assembling and is often the longest part, was wondering how easily they come off as they are quite prominent which is to be expected.
Not a problem. Definitely worth the plunge these guys make the best historical figures in my opinion. Mold lines are very minimal they do the seems at the side of the body, I personally don't clean them up when I'm done painting it makes them anyhow. I have all the early roman kits and they are great. I do prefer the marching set as posed to the fighting set. But they are both great.
@@hobbyspotnz2833 thanks, I did take the plunge and am going to be putting together some EIR and Hoplites soon. I did go with the marching set as I thought they look very imposing ranked up like that
Once you go to Victrix, you’ll never go back!
@@scottsharp3789 I worked with the new Greeks and Romans and they are pretty nice. It’s a little rough for the spears and thinner pieces, but I was pretty surprised at the detail for the cost. Not bad at all!
These are a great size for making chess sets!!
They would be perfect for it!
The crest that you were asking about is what we call a J crest. When categorizing crests we have 3 main types: the J crest, more archaic, very popular. The standard 'corinthian' crest, front to back, most commonly depicted and common through all eras. Then there is my favorite, the transverse crest, which goes side to side.
This looks good! Thank you for the video. Keep it up.
Thanks, will do!
Painting video! Painting Video!! PAINTING VIDEO!!!
The people have spoken 😂 I might do one but only if you have been good.
@@hobbyspotnz2833 I have to report that your listeners have bought new minis even when they have a pile of unpainted minis, abandoned projects 2/3 done to start a new one and forgotten rules when inconvenient to their plans. Not good, not good at all. haha
The man with the most minis wins, that's just common knowledge 😂
Yay hoplites 😊
My thoughts exactly 😊
This new sprue looks much better than the old victrix hoplite sprues (I have all of them, they are almost identical). pitty theres no extra command sprue with few more extra optios..
That was the only thing really that I would critic about the set having no command sprue but the figures are so nicely detailed.
That helmet style with raised crest is Thespian style I think. (thespians made up the bulk of warriors who fought at Thermopyle)
Dope I love them look very iconic. Cheers for the info.
Excellent review of some lovely figures
Good review thank you. The figures look great, with a nice variety of equipment and well detailed. But while some may like the variety of body poses I would have preferred them all to be in a left shoulder forward and thrusting spear position.
Nice review. I've recently returned to NZ from the UK. Would you reckon that buying direct from Victrix would tend to be cheaper than using NZ retailers? I've seen the price of paints here and want to keep me other costs down!
Im all for buying local if you can but getting them from the UK is still good. They have two option for shipping one at $40 and one at $120. Depends on the size of the box. Only tool 2 weeks to get here though.
I have been looking forward to seeing what they are like before purchasing so well done for this video
Looks Really Good! Yummy Paint Jobs!
Thanks dude was cool getting them done al together and so fast.
Love your paint jobs! Your rino stunning
Nice work
Thanks

nice looking figures and your painting is excellent
A bit childish now but they look really cool
Thanks

Thank you for the review.Great job 👍

How did you place it in the clear stand? The instructions say not to glue it. But I think It’ll be quite wobbly. And did you tape it in during painting?
I drilled out a slightly larger hole and glued it inside with super glue. I taped it up with paper tape before i undercoated. then i peeled it off.
Shade, Contrast, Ink. Why can't I just buy paints and dilute them with something? As a paint manufacturer, this is not acceptable. But if you are a buyer Then you can get tired of buying, say, 4 shades of red and then 4 times, in different variations. Someone tested how you can deal with this nonsense?
Great review!
Thanks for the tips, I have a lot of Rohan horses to paint and this has helped a-lot.
Go Dunlanders. Tolkien didn`t like the Celts so based them on you. Bugger saxon Rohan🤣
Love me BIAB terrain, local stores had this stuff all over the tables back around 2007 and it's aged really well :)
These look so good!
I am new to bolt action and was looking for some good soldiers, I think I will get this set because of all the combination of soldiers you can make
What exact stuff do you use for the base?
I use a fine grit like sand for the gravel, and i use a mixture of coloured gamer grass for the bases. The tuffs are premade by gamer grass too.
Good job , thanks.👍🏼
Hey mate could you tell me the colours you used for the cloaks. Great vid
hey Mate think it was a valleo colour but closest I could find would be "thousand sons blue" the base colour from the Citadel
Top class
Fantastic weathering, really good painting. Looking forward to more BA :)
Looks really sharp. Paint scheme is great and I especially love the MMG and LMG teams.
I was googling the great beast to work out how to convert my own! Yours was the first one that popped up matt. Still looks good!
I find the easiest way to paint metallics is treat it like a normal layer system, apply dark metallic add a black or brown wash , highlight the metallic again with base colour used in first step, then add another edge highlight of a light metallic. You can also dry brush it this method but it makes armour panels look odd, but works great on chainmail.
Hey man, nice video, one question, how tall is the model? Was thinking about buying this and converting it to a warhammer 40k ork squiggoth :D
The names are a nice touch
Thanks the intention was to play them in the same force but I quickly learnt that it was never an option haah
