Epic Scale Ancients, a quick look at the new Warlord offerings

 

 

 

      An old fart like me isn't apt to be jumping ship to pick these up and build armies (I have 40,000+ minis in 15mm and 28mm), but if I were coming into the hobby new I would be on this like white on rice! Warlord has, once again, managed to make tiny figures that capture the look of the historic soldiers. The models are crisply cast and well detailed and rank up to look like historical formations. I plan on building DBA armies with them because why not? Let's take a look at some of the sprues.

 

Carthaginians, Side A,

 citizen soldiers with the round shields, Spanish allies with the long shields

 and some light troops with Moorish and citizen cavalry

 

Carthaginians, side B

 

Romans, side A, 

close-order troops designed to be built as blocks in very tight formation, some skirmishers and cavalry

 

Romans, side B

 

 Allies, side A, 

 What looks like Italian ally foot and some Spanish foot and horse and foot

 with light archers and slingers

 

 

Allies, side B

 

 

       Nicely detailed, the light troops are very actively posed while the formed bodies look solid and ready for battle. Very well done and very attractively priced.

       Highly Recommended
