I have known for a while now that I wanted an Etruscan army. However, I was not sure how I wanted to approach it. A quick google search did not reveal to me a great set of 28mm Early Etruscans. I did find Aventine's very nice range of Late Etruscans, and I believe Agema now has a line of Etruscans as well. I knew right away that I wanted a unit of Etruscan warriors with Axes, and that was something I did not find well represented in the 28mm ranges.

I had completed making a few Greek Hoplite armies from Victrix, a Macedonian army from Victrix, some Roman armies from Victrix, and a Viking army from Victrix. Therefore, I had a lot of let-over bits from Victrix model kits lying around. I decided to try to leave my left over parts of Victrix kits to make my Etruscan force.

However, here is the whole army together.....

Nice work with the crests

And I learned a bit about the Estruscans
