Hunker Down Behind The Testudo From Warlord Games
December 28, 2013 by brennon
Warlord Games have got their Testudo back in stock and this is a pretty neat kit that you could be picking up for your Roman legion in Hail Caesar. See what you think of this nifty set!
It's quite the awesome looking diorama piece once you look at it and it does have a great practical use as well. It's the iconic looking shell formation that the Romans adopted during sieges and it's very cool when you unlock the units for it in games like Rome Total War.
I can imagine a fair few Roman armies picking this up. I wouldn't want to be the commander stuck outside of it though, heroic as that is.
What do you think?

I like the mini – there are numerous images from reenactments and movies of testudos in action – I like the scene in The Eagle (some stills and a clip)

Then again, in the back of my mind I hear ‘Thwow him to the gwound, centuwion!’
if I had the dosh I’d love to see maybe three or four of these in a checkerboard formation like in Spartacus, or, just to see little islands of red surrounded by hordes of barbarians…
‘he has a wife you know…’ 😉
Always loved the look of that unit.
