Wargames Atlantic has now put their Late Roman Legionaries up on their webstore for you to pre-order now ahead of an August release. Fight across a fracturing empire with a new band of Historical 28mm warriors.
Late Roman Legionaries Box // Wargames Atlantic
This new set comes with twenty-four multi-part plastic Late Roman Legionaries that you can assemble in a variety of different ways. The options presented within this set include a spatha, spear and plumbata alongside standards for a full command. You'll also find three different helmets in the set as well which should be great for those historical buffs.

This then means that you can create armoured warriors that obviously work for the Late Roman Empire but also can be tweaked to fit Goths, Burgundians, Saxons, Franks and the Romano-British too. I think I'd plump for the Romano-British and those fighting desperately to hold the frontier in a fighting retreat.

The sculpting for this set once again came from the talented mind of Rob Macfarlane and I think that they've done a super job. I tend to always see the Romans done in that "classic" look with the big rectangular shields but the Late Roman look is pretty ace. It slides further towards the Dark Age era that I prefer wargaming in any way!

Fight in civil wars alongside your general of choice, battle the Picts and Irish Raiders in the depths of Britannia or perhaps take on the Vandals of North Africa. The Roman Empire was vast so there will always be someone to fight!
Are you tempted by the look of this new plastic set?

Every single release, one after the other, are just great. Keep them coming Wargames Atlantic ?
These look fantastic, Wargames atlantic yet again releasing a great kit. The fact that their also doing army builder kits with 60 minis for these and the goths should be excellent value.
Quickly becoming one of my favourite manufacturers of plastic kits, blowing Warlord out of the water, and catching Victrix and the Perrys. They’ll be a true giant in the plastic arena once they have all their ranges fleshed out and I look forward to seeing that day. Wish these where made locally UK/US rather than china but i guess you cant have everything.
Well said and said well ?
On first glance these look really nice. I don’t need any late Romans for anything, but might well pick up a box and adapt Ravenfeast a little.
Great Romans.
Love the Late (game) Romans! Although potentially 100 years too early, they might be able to represent the army of Belisarius re-taking and holding Rome for the short lived resurgent empire!
Sexiest thing in historics I’ve seen in months. Rome in the C3rd-5th AD is incredibly interesting and almost a constant warzone. Lovely
I’m sure I say this on every post about Wargames Atlantic but they are quickly becoming my favourite manufacturer. Such an eclectic mix of boxes but every one of them looks interesting.
