Late Roman Legions Are Assembling From Gripping Beast
March 11, 2016 by brennon
Gripping Beast have shown off the 3-Ups for their Late Roman Legions which will be the next big plastic release from them. See what you think of them, painted up by Darren Linington...
While these are 3-Ups these models are going to look just like this when you get them in the pack (just smaller of course). They are also fully compatible with the existing Dark Age range which means you could even make some Early Saxons who have stolen and raided Roman armouries.
This also leads us to the news that the next big step for SAGA seems to be towards the Arthurian period. This means Romano-British soldiers, Picts and Celts and of course Early Saxons as noted above.
I really like the look of these miniatures and it's neat to see them with a mix of the old school Roman armour and the trappings of a country so far away from the influence of Rome. Check out the full contents of the plastic box here thanks to Wargames Illustrated.
Really, really awesome. This certainly looks great when all ranked up showing off a full regiment. There are a LOT of miniatures in this set.
I can't wait to see the rest of their range!

frikkin nerd-gasm!!! here’s me umming and ahhhing over Saga and they pull this out the bag. Saxon conquest of post-Roman Britannia here we come…
Those are really nice. That one archer’s pose how ever reminds me about those one pose wonder HE archers from back in day.
At long last!
Now how about some Goths, Huns and Picts??
Very happy to finally get Late Roman plastics and by the looks of it GB have done a sterling job yet again.
3 boxes deal at Salute I hope 😎
On Facebook they said they will also be making goths. I didn’t ask about picts and HUNs but, I am sure that they will fallow in do time.
Fantastic paint job by Darren Linington
I see from the website they will be announcing their Salute releases soon. I can’t wait to see what else they will have to part me from my cash,
Finally Dux Brit just became affordable
Yes it won’t matter how many men flock to your banner as long as you can paint them fast enough
Definately picking up some of those at Salute…
I must get some of these to add in to my Dux Britaniarum armies 🙂
they are going to be defending a shore fort from Irish raiders 🙂
or maybe Attacotti or Arcani
I asked on the Facebook page, and they will be making cavalry and goths. So I am guessing they will hit up the HUNs.
That is if the Daus Vult, Mongolians don’t cut it for you.
I hope this takes off and we see a whole Fall of Rome range. Oh, and they can always branch out into the Eastern Roman Empire and Sassanian Persians….
Oh, I guess I have to get some of those to get an opponent to my Gothic army. They’re looking really nice. 🙂
