I ordered a pack of Victrix Greek Hoplites in the North Star Boxing Day sale, probably for the forthcoming Warriors of Athena skirmish game.
I will need to read up on the various armour types and helmets used by the Greek city states.
Victrix have dispensed with boxes, the eight identical sprues come in a ziplock bag with an instruction sheet (a nice touch)
At Colours I picked up the (at the time) new Medieval Foot Sergeants set from Victrix.
Though historical figures, they will probably do double duty as a human faction for Oathmark as well as for Barons War and Lion Rampant.
As has been the case for a while, the set comes in a bag not a box, but does include an assembly guide.
The figures are wearing gambesons, quilted or padded armour in the form of jackets, some of which is worn over mail. This is typical of well equipped foot soldiers not of nobility.
The set builds 32 figures, there are sufficient polearms, hand weapons and (by utilising standard bearer arms) spears to equip all figures with similar weaponry.
For Oathmark, these will be built with hand weapons and spears (polearms/two handed weapons are not available to non Warrior/Knight types).
Polearm and two handed weapon sprue.
