Victrix Keep Us In The Loop On New Persian Plastics
October 29, 2019 by brennon
Victrix is talking more about the upcoming Persian Infantry plastic kits again this week as they look towards the Ancient era once more. A few more renders showed off a number of different poses which you'll be able to make from one of their extensive kits.
This collection is going to have quite a few different weapons to choose from when building your force. They have talked about spears, javelins, slings, sagaris hand axes, crescent shields and also a set of hoplite-style shields as well.
They have also talked about including archers in the mix as well, meaning this plastic set could potentially be the one-stop-shop you need for making the core of your Persian force. There are enough head options, poses and accessories to mean you can make some very nice and diverse models which are packed with character.
I am interested to see folks mixing these in alongside some of the metal figures from the likes of Footsore Miniatures & Games and using them for Mortal Gods and the like. It would be neat to see a comparison between the two ranges to see how they measure up.
What do you make of these Persians and have you been tempted to dive into Victrix's plastic collection yet?

I still remember the days when Persian minis were the “de facto” proxy for Haradim for Middle Earth players (before GW did their range). Still these are looking excellent, but you’ll need LOADS (and the painting is pretty tricky too), but there’s not a lot of armies that beat the look of the fully painted Persian army on the table 🙂
nice is David one of them?
I’m genuinely tempted. I’m just finishing off my Celts and have enjoyed working with the Victrix kits which go together easily and look superb. Perhaps some Greeks first though as the painting scheme will be a bit easier.
Oh my God these are so what I am looking for for my Mortal Gods games.
