Numidian infantry renders

Here are some new renders of the Numidian infantry set we have been working on in-between the Romans legionaries.

The set will comprise 4 figures on a frame with arm, head and shield options to make Numidian close order infantry or javelin skirmishers. There are also command parts such as a trumpet, sword arm and standard bearer arm to make command figures.

The infantry in helmets with oval Thureos shields represent King Syphax and Jugurthas Roman trained infantry. They were an attempt to create a close order fighting force. Still the majority of Numidian infantry would have been light javelin armed skirmishers with a round hid shield.

We have include a few kit bashed renders to show you some of the possible alternatives you will be able to make from this very useful and versatile set of miniatures.

You can easily make more Greek javelin men variants by adding Peltast shields and heads form the Greek Peltast set and bare heads from the Spanish and Velites. By adding a Roman scutums and helmets you can easily make troops for the slave revolt or add variants to the Numidian close order fighting troops. They could also be used for some Biblical warriors as well.

We will now move back to working on the Romans and hope to be able to show the marching legionary figures in about 2 weeks, it will then be on to the Roman command.

Please see attached shot of the Hypaspist frame and the command frame.

A few things to note:

1. All 3 sets will contain 27 figures; 3 command and 24 rank and file. This odd number will allow customers to build a pike block of 48 with 3 command and 45 pikemen.

2. The command frame is on the left and the Hypaspists are on the right. The frames will be spilt at the factory so each set will contain 8 rank and file frames and 1 command frame. All 3 sets will retail at £17.95.

3. The trousered legs on the command frame are to use with the standard bearer and the musician when combined with the Succssor or Seleucid set.

4. The musician will carry one of the small shields on a leather strap on his back.

5. The smaller Hoplite shield is the officers shield.

6.You will note that with a plethora of heads and crests many different combinations can be created.
