These are replacements for an earlier group of Samnites I sold off. They were older Redoubt figures - a bit smaller than these plastic Victrix ones, but nice figures in their own right.

Victrix Armoured Samnites - WIP
Taking a little break from Napoleonics by working on a set of Victrix Armoured Samnites. Hoping to have them as part of an Epirote army using a local version of Lion Rampant called Elephants Rampant created by Pat L. (Socalwarhammer).
This set comes with four bodies and various arm combinations for either javelins or swords - as well as standards and musicians. There are also several head/helmet choices - with separate horsehair crests additions.
These are replacements for an earlier group of Samnites I sold off. They were older Redoubt figures - a bit smaller than these plastic Victrix ones, but nice figures in their own right.
So much for now. Wishing you all the best!

Lovely work, Victrix is certainly starting to 'own' this era as far as detailed plastics go.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Norm. Yes, they certainly have nice proportions and I am a fan of scale-creep too. Best, Dean
DeleteSamnites, beautiful Samnites, love the musician and the impressive javelins...excellent work!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Phil! Yes, I do like the options plastics offer. Kind regards, Dean
DeleteNice work, agree with Norm the Victrix figure range if they can keep in growing is taking over some periods. They are good figures, my only complaint is some of the spears are too fine and break too easily.🙁
ReplyDeleteThanks, Matt. True about spears and bayonets for that matter. One thing though, is they can be repaired quite easily with plastic cement/glue. Metals would require a lot more work. Best regards, Dean
DeleteYour old Redoubt Samnites are beautiful! I am certain the new Victrix will be just as stunning.
ReplyDeleteThanks a lot, Jonathan. Well, I tried my hand at some free-hand shield work, and it convinced me to pick up some LBMS transfers! :) Warm regards, Dean
DeleteBeautiful.
ReplyDeleteQuestion - What are you using for primer on Victrix models?
Thanks, Greg. I use plain white flat white spray from Walmart - however, the last time they were out of their .96 cent cans and ended up picking up the next cheapest - $3 can of Krylon Colormaster Flat White. Best, Dean
DeleteGreat looking figures Dean, always fancied some Samnites at some stage and these look the business.
ReplyDeleteCheers, Ross
Thanks, Ross. Yes, they have that cool Greco-Roman look; In fact, I read that they may have descended from Spartan expats who fled Sparta during the reign of Lycurgus in the 9th cent. BC. This set has 24 figs and only cost me $27 off of ebay - free shipping. A little over $1 a figure. Warm regards, Dean
DeleteLooking great so far. I love me some Samnites!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Allan. They just couldn't stop the Romans. Best, Dean
DeleteSamnites look great!
ReplyDeleteThank you very much, Sergiuss. Kind regards, Dean
DeleteLooking good Dean, the Victrix Samnites are great figures.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Mike. I hope to get some Victrix Greek/Cretan archers too. Warm regards, Dean
DeleteGreat figures ,the old and the new ones! Waiting to see them finished!
ReplyDeleteThank you kindly! Best regards, Dean
DeleteAwesome work as always Dean!
ReplyDeleteAh, you're too kind, Michal! Warmest regards, Dean
DeleteLovely looking work in progress, the Victrix ancients range looks great!
ReplyDeleteBest Iain
Thanks, Iain. Having LBMS transfers for the shields make it a pleasure! :) Best, Dean
DeleteFine work as always, Dean!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Aaron. Hadn't touched Ancients in a long time, and these are just the ticket to get back into them. Warmest Regards, Dean
