Hi Folks,

there are some Models, I miss in the Republican Roman Range.

-Hastati/Principes with Hasta

-Principes with Pilum in Mail

-Principes with Swords in Mail

-Leves (pre Velites Skimishers)

-Cavalry in Mail with Boetian Helmets

What do you think?

I have no plans to expand the Republican range at the moment, so the only real hope for any of these would be via a fulfilled Baccstarter.  With regards to Hastati in mail, I always thought that this class of citizen was generally not wealthy enough to purchase this very expensive form or armour.

Depending on how precisely accurate you want to be, you could use some figures from either the Greek / Macedonian ranges or the Marian legionaires. With a bit of filing or chopping they might pass off for the real thing from a distance.

Alternatively - you could look at the Rapier Miniatures (ooh - heresy!) range. They have some figures both in and beyond their Rebuplican range which might fit. The figures are fairly compatible and I've used some of the Princeps models in mail armed with pilum as Imperial auxiliaries and even cut the shields off some to use as archers.
