Preview: Late Romans in Scale Armor!

We're just wrapping up the box design on this one and injection has already been done in the UK so we can (hopefully!) get the mold over to the US soon. WAALR005 Late Roman Legionaries (2): Lorica Squamata. 

Painting by Stephan Huber

This box set features our typical smorgasbord of helmet types so that you can depict several different eras. This time we moved the shields to their own frame to free up space for extra parts and six unique bodies. 

This set will mix and match quite happily with WAALR001 Late Roman Legionaries (1): Lorica Hamata as well as our WAALR002 Goth Warriors, WAALR004 Dark Age Army Builder, and several upcoming sets in the range. The bodies and some helmets are perfect for noble warriors in the armies of the Goths, Saxons, Franks, Burgundians, and other enemies of Rome. 

Standby for the pre-order date coming in the not too distant future!

Nathan – March 10, 2026 plus one.

It feels like during the year(s) long process from development to delivery, this set is being passed over again and again for ‘new shiny stuff’. As I like to plan an build my armies with all options on the table, a dozen of boxes of Romans and Goths have been lamenting long and hard on my shelves. We even cancelled a Dark Ages club event because of the long wait (also for the Dark Ages builder), not getting any clear updates. That’s 20-30 boxes not bought…

Please, any ETA will do. Or if there is a problem with the box printing, just share it, instead of another ‘It was wrong but now we have fixed it’ message after the fact.

Definitely expected not too distant future to not mean 6+ months of silence, hopefully this kit is still ticking along

ETA on these being released? I need them for kitbashing some more Hellenic troops

Looking forward to this set. Scale armor will work for late Romans, various barbarians, and kitbashing for some of my fantasy figs. Appreciate how you have included some heads wearing what looks like 2nd-3rd Cent AD Roman helmet from Siviac. Serbia. That’s a period that doesn’t get much coverage in plastic kits. Kudos!

Those look great! Are there shield transfers available yet?

Mark - September 26, 2025

These look sooooo cool. I love the imperial-style helmets from this set.
That said, will you ever make plastic early imperial era legionaries for the “Might of Rome” range?
Or at least some conversion bits, like early imperial scutum? I would love something to go along with your “Citizens of Rome” set.

Hi Paul – most shields for this period are depicted wrong actually! We went with the dimensions of the shield found at Dura-Europos. It’s quite large and I suppose if I was a legionary I’d want a big shield too!

Paul - September 25, 2025

These are looking great, looking forward to some cavalry next. The one issue I am pondering is if the shields are too fat. Most other minis I have seen for this period have shields that are not as wide. I would probably replace the shields with this kit.

These are superb! It would be nice if the late roman box came with both sprues. Hope to see lamellar armor and even mounted late romans/ goths!

I second Alejandra than a guide on which helmets are which would be excellent.
Really nice kit
