Missing Options in Antiquity Range

Wrong Hamata for that Period.

What I see for Imperial Romans:


-Legionaries in Mail

-Legionaries/Auxillaries with Niederbieber Helmets 3rd Century (optiomal)

-Auxillary Archer in Western Style

-Auxillary Cavalry with Niederbieber Helmets 3rd Century (optional)

-Scorpion with Crew in Mail

-Late Roman Infantry with Spangenhelmets

-Late Roman Cavalry with Spangehelmets

-Scorpion with Late Crew

-Late Roman Commanders

As already said, Legionaries in Mail & Auxillary Archers in Western Style would be the most important.

No Antiquity, but for the Samurai ranges there are a few things that would really be good to see.

Early samurai:

Samurai on foot with naginata.

Followers with bows      
 

Sengoku range:

Ronin 

Peasants. We always need more peasants....

NIce would be some more Siege weapons like Gastapaetes and Onager.

With my next project being Punic Wars, could I second the above suggestion for Siege engines. This would include Battering Rams and Siege towers as well as the missle firing variety.

I stand corrected if wrong, but only think Irregular Miniatures makes them presently.

 

As Peter likes an indication of numbers for sales, I would commit to a couple of Rams, 4 Towers  8 stone throwers and 4 Dart projecting weapons.

 

Stay safe!

I've used a Magister Militum 10mm stone thrower has heavy artillery for my Romans. Looks OK even though I did glue the throwing arm on the wrong way up. And I've used some of the early Greek catapults as heavier bolt / light stone throwers more generically in a few armies.

I'm investigating options for other seige equipment, and apart from Irregulars haven't spotted anything yet and so might resort to to getting some 3d printed or scratch built
