Prepare To March With Agema Miniatures’ Etruscan Armies
February 11, 2020 by brennon
Agema Miniatures has been previewing a few of the options they have been working on for their Ancient armies. This time around the focus is on the Etruscan forces and leading the way, quite appropriately, we have this Command element which is coming together nicely.
The set of miniatures is led by a Noble Commander who wears the transverse crest and additional feathers that adorn the Attic type helmet (I am learning so much today). You also have a Standard Bearer who is hefting the banner pole with its bull motif decorating the top. You also have a Cornicern player who acts as the Musician of the pack. Each of them is clad in their historically appropriate Linothorax armour.
Beyond what we're seeing here from the Command element of the Etruscans there will also be some new warriors and a few cavalry options too. Also, it seems like they are going to be working on some colourful characters which will be able to lead your force from the front. Talking of extra models we also have some of these warriors.
These Etruscans In Linothorax were heavily influenced by the Ancient Greeks in both their martial style and attire. However, influences also came in from across the Ancient world, especially in the design of the helmets.
The timing for the release of this range appears to be focused around next month. Agema Miniatures have also considered trying to run a Kickstarter campaign as well in order to get the collection released all in one go.
What do you make of these mighty Etruscans?

I know it’s probably because of a shared derivation of the words but I read ‘linothorax’ above and suddenly thought of lino as in the flooring material and now all I can think of is them going into battle wearing armour made of lino, presumably to face off against warriors wearing carpetthorax armour. ?
not heard of this company – looked at their website – quite a few lovely miniatures, will definately be buying from them once my clash of spears stuff is up and running
I have some of their plastic Romans. They are very nice.
Nice figures not sure about the rabbit ears of the commander.
I’m glad there are goinf to be more Etruscans as this will likely move them up my priority list. Glad you are giving the little guys some airtime on the weekender as well. More of this please.
