What do you get?
Infantry comes in strips of 4, cavalry of 3, but all are
easy to separate. Hastati and triari have their respective
pila and spears ready, but there's also a Hastati set with
drawn gladius. What's the plural of gladius?
The Roman cavalry is very well sculpted again, as is the accompanying
command pack and the lighter velite infantry really shows what
can be done in this scale.
Of course Hannibal for instance, made good use of captured
Roman equipment, so perhaps it wouldn't be too silly to include
a Roman figure here and there in your Carthaginian army?
The final word.
(Ed. WillieB was sent and reviewed miniatures from Baccus range
of Carthaginians, Celts,
Spanish, Moors
and Romans. Because of the volume
of pictures to show off the miniatures I have split the review
up into the different ranges. However in each case I have left
WillieB's final world the same in each case).
I have often admiringly looked at some of those huge 6mm wargames
or dioramas at shows, but nearly always simultaneously thought
"Well, this is not for me" "Hardly any detail
on those figures and it must be nearly impossible to paint them"
I couldn't have been more wrong. I knew that Peters' figures
were very good, I simply had no idea how good. What surprised
me most was that all the figures are much more anatomically
correct than many larger scale figures I've seen over the years.
No overly large heads or grossly inflated limbs Even the tiny
spears and swords look to scale!
To sum it up, some of the nicest figures I ever had the pleasure of seeing in this scale and highly recommended.
