A couple more wonderful vignettes for Dux Italica. This time, Resin Warfare's brilliant 'Under the Yoke' and 'Prisoners' sets. Putting prisoners under the yoke was the ultimate humiliation in 4th century BCE Italy, famously done to the Romans by the Samnites at The Caudine Forks.
This will make a fabulous table 'decoration' to add period flavour to the Dux Italica table, especially if we ever get it out to a show or something.
First unit of Samnites finished for my adaptation of Dux Britanniarum called 'Dux Italica'. Pleased with these, built from the two Victrix Samnite kits and the latest Greek hoplite kits.
Here's the first Victrix Samnite Hero for the Dux Italica Samnites and Hill Tribes faction.
Finished the last of the civilians for Dux Italica - these are the Disgruntled Slaves/Estate Workers who might appear if the aggressor rolls badly on looting rolls in the Settlement/Villa Raid scenario. Foundry figures - wonderful and full of character!
HM 22nd Foot as they appeared in the 1843 conquest of Scinde. These will form the backbone of my British EIC force for a Sharp Practice in India campaign with my gaming Group.
Sarissa Precision Roman Temple of Hercules. Nightmare kit to build but pleased with the overall result in the end. Will be a great centrepiece for the 'Raid the Temple' scenario.
Sarissa Precision model with Greenstuffworld large dark green maple leaf foliage. Looks pretty bloody good I reckon!
Here is the final set of models for the Dux Italica core Roman/Latin force. All Victrix plastics, from the Greek Heavy Cavalry and the various Republican Roman sets.
The last infantry for the core Roman/Latin force for my Dux Britanniarum adaptation, Dux Italica. These are Pilani, the wealthiest infantry in the army. They can afford the most expensive hoplite equipment and armour, although some are beginning to transition to the sputum rather than use the traditional aspis. They fought in an open-order phalanx in the style of the early Greeks (8th-6th century) rather than the close-order classical Greek phalanx of the Persian and Peloponnesian Wars.
They are led by a Tribune.
All models from Victrix with LBM shield transfers.
