Anyone have an idea what the Late Roman Army Builder will be made of? Will it be more Legionaires or will it be the limitanei? I cant find any minis for the limitanei so I kind of hope it will be made up of them. It would make sense too, they were very common in the late roman army and could be considered "bulk" troops.
From what I remember they were going to do 2 Late roman ABs (one armored and one unarmored) and 2 goth ABs (one armored and one unarmored). Given we are talking Frontier troops it would likely be a mix of those in real life.
The Roman AB set will be in mail and the Goth one unarmored.
@Hudson Adams I stand corrected.
@Hudson Adams May I ask what the differences are going to be between standard boxes of figures and Army Builder sets?
@Caratacus Number of bodies and weapon options. ABs should have more bodies with less weapon options and the standard boxes should have more weapon/pose options with less bodies.
@Brian Van De Walker Thanks for clarifying, I'll certainly be interested to see the full extent of these differences when the Army Builder set comes out.
@Padric Drahushuk you could certainly mix in Goth figures and/or swap parts with Roman sets to make Limitanei
@James Manto as far as the normal sets go im using roman heads on gohic bodies to make archers and then the goths themselves can be used as foederati.
I imagine the army builder sets will have similar versatility
