Victrix Call In The Auxiliaries Of Early Imperial Rome
October 2, 2017 by dracs
Victrix have put a new unit of Roman soldiers up for pre-order, the Early Imperial Roman Auxiliaries.
The Auxiliaries were soldiers non-native to Rome, brought from all corners of the empire to fight in its armies. As such, it is fitting that Victrix have come up with a nice variety of looks for them.
While the Legionaries may be the main thing we picture when thinking of the Romans, these Auxiliaries are a great inclusion as they do show that this truly was a wide empire, with many distinct peoples within its borders.
What do you think of Victrix's take on the auxiliaries?
"[Auxiliaries] show that this truly was a wide empire, with many distinct peoples within its borders..."

Beautiful models, but Victrix still leaves a bad taste in my mouth after I asked for a discount on models for my Greek Warfare class a few years back. I sent two e-mails… no response.
Now the discounts are properly displayed on their webpage, and the contacts I have had with them has been prompt. So good nowadays.
I’m currently on holiday in Rome and have an itching to do Romans when I get home.
Gorgeous as always, but I’m waiting for the Celts!
I’m sure this has been asked before but how do they scale against Warlord’s Romans?
they’re much much bigger. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JSyxhUD8It0 look at 3:15 not victrix plastics, but aventine metal. However the Aventine and Victrix are the same size. So a head taller and the bulk to go with it
Remember how big Warlord’s auxiliaries were compared to their Legionaries?
ooh they look good.
They’re bigger than Warlord Romans but Warlord Auxiliaries are bigger than Warlord Romans.
If I was going to do large scale Romans it would be with Victrix.
They look very good, as always from Victrix.
It almost makes me want to do EIR but I must complete my Carthaginians then do Republican Romans after them 🙂
