Victrix Limited brings your historical tabletops, raiding scenarios, and diorama layouts to life with this massive 28mm scale plastic box set of 104 Dark Age and Medieval Farm Animals. Molded in high-detail gray polystyrene, this versatile scenery kit delivers an authentic menagerie of historically researched livestock specifically proportioned to early medieval breeds. For the dedicated wargamer and hobbyist, this set provides an essential collection of lootable objectives and scatter terrain designed to enhance village raids, cattle rustling scenarios, and agricultural displays.
Unlike modern high-yield farm breeds, the livestock of the 8th to 12th centuries were shorter, hardier, and shared closer physical characteristics with their wild ancestors. Victrix conducted extensive historical research to recreate authentic period breeds across four high-density sprues, including Roman-introduced Jacob sheep, ancient Old English primitive goats, stocky Highland cattle families, muscular Breton draft horses, and hairy, boar-like medieval swine. Whether you are raiding coastal settlements in Pillage, defending livestock in Saga, or building a living, breathing village for tabletop RPGs, these multi-part plastic figures add unmatched realism to your terrain collection.

The chemical fusion bond creates a seamless seam along the spine and bellies, eliminating visible gaps before applying texture washes or drybrushing wool and fur.
Recommended Essentials
-
Pasture Basing: Frame your grazing livestock with Gamers Grass wild flowers, meadow tufts, and pasture grass to create realistic farm enclosures, paddocks, and roadside meadows.
-
Scenario Objectives: Mount animals onto individual 25mm round bases or small herd stands to use as mobile raid tokens and movable objective markers for skirmish games.
-
Speed Painting Path: Start with an Off-White or Light Brown Primer. This allows you to quickly block in rustic fleece, brindled cow hides, and feathered geese using thinned contrast paints and simple earthy washes.
-
Maintenance & Care: Use a sharp Precision Hobby Knife to slice away small sprue gates from the delicate chicken bases, horns, and donkey ears to avoid accidental snapping during cleanup.
