War Banner Preview Upcoming Gangs Of Rome Releases For 2018
August 16, 2018 by brennon
War Banner has shown off a range of different miniatures that will be released throughout the rest of 2018, allowing you to expand your Gangs Of Rome collection with even more nefarious individuals.
The range of new releases covers a lot of different options for your gangs. They have miniatures which work as your traditional footpads and back alley thugs as well as some who would be more at home on the sands of the arena.
As with all of the Gangs Of Rome releases these packs come with individual character cards to help you create some very unique gangs that will behave differently than your friends. It's an interesting way of generating a large pool of characters to pick from.
One thing I like about the miniatures we're seeing for this game is that they all come in interesting fighting poses. Very few of them come in a static stance and I think that movement within a sculpt is very important for skirmish games.
It helps to tell more of a story as you're bringing a warband together and when they are fighting, base to base, on the tabletop you get a real sense of the dynamic story being told.
It will be interesting to see what scenarios people dream up from these upcoming releases. I am interested in the stories concerning the gladiators myself. After watching Spartacus and the sly dealings behind the scenes you could imagine gang leaders sending their prized gladiators out with a less than savoury mission in mind.

Those look rather nice.
Getting very near some of the classic Gladiators with these releases (just need the proper helmeted head). I really hope they decide to branch out and do some Gladiators (the ones available now are about 20 years old and are showing there age against modern sculpts).
Great figure’s & the aqueduct looks brilliant.
This is an an amazing game and it’s lots of fun. Glad to see them expanding the range.
I do like the one with the pilum shielding himself with his cloak
I love the miniatures for this game and they will end up with alot of my money.
these look great, can’t wait to get my hands on them, hopefully the weapons and heads are inter-changeable, fiddlt to work with but you can get some great combos and add flavour. Really like the Pilum, hope to get more of them 🙂
just released – 50 quid for 8 deal and you can but them individual, this is why I’m skint. They look really cool
Already ordered mine!
