There is now a Survey: LINK - Ancient Armies of the Hellenistic Antiquity in 6mm or 10mm and in Plastic would be nice. ;)

Warlord Games are Working on Hail Caesar Epic Battles: They look like Marian Romans from Julius Caesar's Gallic Wars to me. Lets hope they also will bring Pontic and Late Ptolemaic Egypt Armies.
Warlord Games via Facebook: We love you all so much that in 24 hours we will reveal our newest Epic Battles game! Be sure to subscribe to the Warlord Games newsletter to be the first to ...

I don't see how the customers could be really interested into Articles where they show the Workplace of a Staff Member or John shows his ECW Saber Collection which is already illustrated in the P&a...
At the times when the "Trojan War" happened it is possible that the Hethite Empire was already in its Decline Phase and had no longer the capacities to help its Vassals or Allies, maybe also treate...
They should just announce the next Epic Battles Setting instead of posting "every day nonsense we do" on their FB-Page...
@JTam You're right, those Models are the 28mm ECW Range. The new Second Edition Rulebook is indeed very beautiful designed.... For Fire and Sword, there was an ECW Expansion announced in 20...
I hope so. Picture could be a hint for English Civil War, which was mentioned miltiple times in the past and which they confirmed they work on.
They're indeed usefull for the complete Late Antiquity / Early Medieval Period. Mix in more or lesser Roman Eqipment form the Late Roman Sets and you ca go for all Germanic People of the Late Antiq...
Nah, Scale (Lorica Squamata) was (after Mail, Lorica Hamata) the other common armour in the east and was used through all Imperial Periods. The Romans adapted Scale Armor possible when they started...
Those "four horse teams" sounds like Chariots in Hethite fashion / influence. Those Arzawa states were mostly long hethite Vassals, very possible that they adapted hethite warfare over time.
How about Early Imperial Romans in Scale?
Which one looks better? With or without cloak? This will be a gigantic mammoth project. My goal is to represent the complete Antiquity from the Rise of Rome to the 3rd Century Crisis. There w...
I started to design own stuff for 3d Printing. Working on a Range of 6mm to 10mm Miniatures for Antiquity. Roman Helmets thorugh the Ages Mix of Republican Romans (WIP with "lend" third Party p...
Victrix have two Sets for ther Imperial Legionaries, dynamic and rank and file poses. The Victrix and Warlord "Early" Imperial Romans are more "Claudian Reform" Imperial Romans, for the High Imper...
There is a new Poll on Facebook about which "boring" existing ranges WGA should remade. One of the possible options on the List is "Caesarian Romans". Marian (Caesarian) Romans, historical authent...
In 451 CE, late Roman Troops nearly extinct in the West. Most Troops in the West were Germanic Foederatii. Only the Eastern Part at this Time still maintained a High Number of Trained "Romans" Nati...
Yes, the Historicans moves away from the Fall of the Roman Empire more to a transition period. The true Dark Age of Human History is the Bronze Age Colapse - we actual know NOTHING about which kno...
There are two trading marks of the Illyrians; The sica and the lack of belts. Most Equipment was Greek/Hellenistic as the largest influence on the Illyrians. Mixing in Norricum and Pannonian Celts...
I wonder how much the interest at Wargames Atlantic is to make a 12,5mm Ancient Range when WLG come up with HC Epic Battles.
For me, it's Hellenistzic and Late Antiquity.
I wonder which Periods of Antiquity you folks do play? Because the Poll limit you to only one possible answer, choose your favorite Period and comment which further Periods you also play.

I really hope those Punic War Miniatures are for a HC Epic Battles release..
I heared now from multiple sources that WLG are strongly hinted Republican Romans and Carthaginians on their last Open Day - I hope for Epic Battles.
@Pierre Lerdou-Udoy Do you mixed up our comments?
I'm happy that old Army Lists can be used without any revise or rework.... I have an own Army List Database for Hail Caesar with nearly 200 Army Lists from Iron Age to Late Antiquity, all writen b...
I have the feeling WLG could bring Infantry & Cavalry with seperate shields. I'm not sure how WLG would fix the untercuts on the backsides when shields are part of the Stripes. I also think th...
How about the following? Wargames Atlantic Team up with Producers of Historical Tabletop Rulesets and bring something similary to Warlord Games "Epic Battles" Range? Warlord Games Epic Battles AC...
A 15mm antiquity range in Hard Plastic would be nice. I doubt 6mm would work in Hard Plastic.
Epic Battles in the Republican Roman / Hellenistic Period would WLG also help to "steal" profit from WGA & Victrix with their antiquity ranges instead of do the same in 28mm.
The "Alternate Scale Test" disappeared from the schedule since some time. Seems like WGA canceled any work on different scales?
Maybe is WLG sparing capacities for an Epic Battles Releases? About my Ideas; They could easily expand this Dadochoi Thema later with Republican Romans, Carthaginians, Iberians, Celts ect. for a f...
How about Wars of the Diadochoi? 2x Greco-Macedonian Armies with each: 8x Greco-Macedonian Phlangitai Infantry4x Greco-Macedonian Late Peltast / Thureohporoi Infantry4x Thracian Infantry8x Greco-...
I would say a one of this for Epic HC: Punic War Set with Republican Romans and Carthaginians: 9x Infantry (3x Hastati, 3x Principes, 3x Triarri)3x Leves Skimisher2x Equites Cavalry 6x Libo-Phoe...
If Warlord Games bringt a HC Epic "Romans vs Germans" Thema, I'm sure they repeat the same mistakes and bring only Early (Claudian) Imperial Legionaries with Lorica Segmentata but neglect those wit...
I hope they do classic antiquity Epic - Republican Romans, Carthaginians, Macedonnians ect. and no Imperial Romans vs. Britons/Germans.
From "Ancient China simplified": by Edward Harper Parker: "In the year of 632 BC, when Tsin inflicted a great defeat uopn it's chief rival Ts'u, the former power had 700 chariots in the field. Aga...
@Brian Van De Walker The article sometimes confuses BCE with CE. The article refers to the year of 613 BCE not CE. As said the last mentioned use of chariots in chinese warfare was 119 BCE ...
@Brian Van De Walker The last time Chariots are mentioned in chinese history is c. 119 BCE/BC, when a Han expeditionary force was ambushed by the Xiongnu people at Mo Bei. They were used to ...
How about "Wars of the Sun King" Western Armies c. 1670 to 1698, with Tricorne head options for c. 1698 to 1720ish.
The last historical known use of Chariots was in 83 AD on the Battle of Mons Grapius. Use of chariots in later times by the picts is highly doubted by historicans. Only the irish used them possible...
Possible from the upcoming Late Roman Lorica Squamata Set.
@JTam In Hittite sources, they mentioned a city state named "Wilusa" which most historicans on this topic believe it's the city we know as Troia, Troya, Troja, Troy, Trois, Illios or Ilium. The ...
