Reinforcements Already! Warlord Legionaries: Review

These chaps arrived in the mail last week for me to review:

Warlord Game's new boxed set of legionaries. You now get 20 legionaries and a scorpion. (The old 30 legionary box is still avaiable however from the webstore.) The box contents are:

• 1 sprue of 10 legionaries
• 1 sprue of 7 legionaries and 3 command figures (centurion, cornicen and signifer)
• 1 sprue of 1 scorpion and 2 screw
• 1 sheet of shield transfers.

Some sprue shots:

For a shot of the scorpion sprue go to my review of the Scoprion Battery here and pictures of my painting a pair of them here.


The details are all nicely executed. There is a little bit of flash that will need to be trimmed. Most of the figures are pretty simple; body, one arm (choose either pilum or gladius armed) to glue on, add shield and head. There are some nice extras on the sprues, extra empty helmets, extra pila and a few extra small shields which will be handy for making casualty markers or adding to vignettes.

For extra fun, they also included this blister pack of beauties:

The Roman slave girls. Nice sculpts. Reasonable proportions. Good detail. They look nice without going too far into male fantasy land. I have no idea right now what I'm going to do with them, but I'm sure once I have a camp or fort they'll look lovely attending to the Prefect.


Stay tuned for how I get on with painting the legionaries up.
