I have just received the 3 completed ponies for the Numidian cavalry set and have been told the 3 riders plus all the arm, head, weapon options will be ready by the end of the month.

Numidian ponies did not have saddles or any tack other than a rope around the neck the rider would pull to apply pressure to the windpipe.

The model is done at medium pony size and is made a bit stockier than the actual Numidian ponies which were smaller and more wirey. The reason for this is for tooling and manufacturing purposes. We want to avoid thin legs that would be liable to snapping.

The connections to the bases are just rudimentary joins at present. The final joins will be done by the layup guys who understand how thick to make them for plastic flow. They will also split the models in half and core them out.

The first set will be the armoured Spanish comprising 40 figures with a mix of spears, 2 types of sword (the falcata and gladius hispaniensis) and 2 types of shield (scutarii and caetra). The mix of weapons and shields will allow customers a very flexible approach to building their Ancient Spanish units with a nice balance between heavy and light troops.

Steve at LittleBigMenStudios w...ill be producing a range of Spanish shield transfers to compliment the range.

Following on from the armoured troops we will then release 12 man set of Balearic slingers, essential for softening up the Roman units opposing your Spanish/Carthaginian armies. This set will only be available direct from Victrix.

The final release will be unarmoured Ancient Spanish infantry before we move on to the Samnites.

Well there is going to be quite a lot of news and product releases going on over the next couple of weeks.

The first Ancient Spanish set, probably unarmoured warriors, is likely to go on pre order next week. I have attached to this post packaging artwork to get you all in the right frame of mind to build an Ancient Iberian force, one of Republican Romes fiercest enemies.

I will also be showing images of the first batch of Ancient Spanish shield transfers.

However, the latest news is that 2 new sets of plastic round bases are now on sale. These are high quality bases with textured upper surfaces and a neatly chamfered edge. There are 2 sets available, 20mm round bases (120 bases per set) and 25mm round bases (96 bases per set).

Also now on sale is VX0019 French Napoleonic Artillery 1804-1812 XI system with 6pdr guns and howitzers. this will allow customers to field the later XI system with crew in pre Bardin uniforms.
