    Great painting and review! I have never heard of Vitrix until now but their quality is excellent from what I have seen in this tutorial. Thanks for the recommendation. I will check them out.

      Thanks John! Their whole range is impressive...I’ve been tempted to get into napoleonics several times because of them.

    I have the Victrix Vikings and Spartans and they are some of the best plastic multipart kits for historicals I've ever found. They usually take me around 6 hours per mini to paint, however.

    • @RedBeardBaron
      @RedBeardBaron  3 ปีที่แล้ว

      They do take forever, so much detail begging to be painted!

    Companies just now moving toward plastic? Warlord has been making plastic historicals since 2009 when they made the first plastic 28mm Romans. We all go under a rock for periods of time so no harm done, great review and paint job! Really wish these were more available in the US, they've got a set of plastic Roman generals and cavalry out now which look ace!

      Wargames Factory were first though they went kaput. Agema also have a small line of plastic ancients.

    Great video, thank you. The pilae did not bend , they would become a ''nuiscance'' in the shield.

    Great paint tutorial! The only quirky thing about plastics is attaching the arms or other gear. Other than that, I really like the details which companies are doing now a days. If you're looking for rank-n-file early Romans, looks at Old Glory 25s. My complete army is 95% OG25s. Most leaders are from Aventine along with some unique Carthaginian and Thracian character figures. You definitively get for what you pay for with Aventine. OG is not bad either, as I really like the detail for 30 figs in a bag. I also like your small historical tid-bits about the shield and armor wear. Great job as always. Take care.

    • @RedBeardBaron
      @RedBeardBaron  5 ปีที่แล้ว

      That is true, the assembly can be a pain. I haven’t seen their romans but I have a fair amount of old glory sassanid cavalry and the detail is impressive for the price. Old glory definitely wins in the bang for your buck category.

    Hi... may I know the dimensions of the scutums? trying to see if I can pass it off for larger scale infantries

      Thanks for watching! I am currently working on a dark age Irish warrior with a Dane axe...so almost a Viking?

    Fabulous work sir. I have just bought the same Victrix figures and I'm looking forward to getting started on them. Could you add a list of the paints that you used to the video info?

    • @RedBeardBaron
      @RedBeardBaron  4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Thanks! I used scale 75 artist acrylics, I based it with a mix of Naples yellow and buff. Then I simply added more white to the mix as I highlighted up.

    Magnificent paint job, wonderful miniature, good history! Thanks for doing this. I am assembling a pretty good pile of Warlord miniatures...a tad dwarfish...had a bunch of Victrix stuff on order for a month but I guess they were on holiday...great miniatures, plastic, decent price but still waiting for my order :(> Very helpful. If I had seen this first I would have ordered more Victrix but then I wouldn't have ANY Romans to work on. Thanks for doing this. It was splendid. If you do the Victrix war elephant, I wouldn't mind :)>

    How big are these guys compared to GW's Empire dudes?

    • @RedBeardBaron
      @RedBeardBaron  4 ปีที่แล้ว

      They are pretty close, but they are proportioned a lot different. Gw humans are always bulky and more a heroic scale...these are realistically proportioned.

    • @DragonSemi
      @DragonSemi 4 ปีที่แล้ว

      @@RedBeardBaron But height wise, would they match? I know the proportions are more realistic, but that doesn't bother me, it's mostly height I'm after.

    • @RedBeardBaron
      @RedBeardBaron  5 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Their pila are a bit delicate and would likely break if dropped. Another con of plastic...nowhere near as durable as metal.
