For Roman players and those who would like roman siege weapons, there will be a plastic set at £20.00 for a battery of 3. There is also a set that has their 20 roman legionnaires with an accompanying scorpion at the same price

Our new plastic Roman Scorpions are almost upon us! Not only that but we’re releasing our plastic Roman Legionaries box too. You can make sure you get yours first by placing a pre-order now…

Each Roman Century would be provided with a Scorpio Catapult to accompany them on thre battlefield but when fighting as a legion these would be combined to form a battery. Typically this would consist of 60 Scorpions and be located on a hill with the Legion protecting it’s sides. With a rate of fire of up to four shots a minute this would send 240 bolts into the enemy army every minute. The weight and speed of these bolts would mean that shields and armour would offer little protection.

Our Scorpion Battery provides you with 3 plastic Scorpion Catapults and their crew. We have plenty in stock though should you wish to field the full 60! Pre-order a Imperial Roman Scorpion Battery for the June 20th release today!

Nice.

These would also make a great alternative to goblin spear chukkas for people who don't feel like paying £18.50 for one "finecast" spear chukka.

This is just what I need to get my Lion faction ballista units for Confrontation, that plus a small boxset of Empire militia/Mordheim miniatures.

Thanks for the pics, Kenshin!

Damn, historicals are really catching up with the quality of fantasy plastics these days.
