Victrix Limited unleashes the ferocious raiding clans of ancient Caledonia with this highly modular 28mm scale plastic box set of 36 Scots-Picts Warriors. Molded in high-detail gray polystyrene, this core collection from the Warriors of the Dark Ages Series bridges two popular wargaming eras, faithfully representing unarmored Pict warriors of the Late Roman period alongside Scots warriors of the Viking Age. For the dedicated historical hobbyist, this kit provides exceptional versatility, allowing you to field dense, bristling spear formations, dynamic skirmish screens, or an impenetrable, interlocking shield wall.
The set includes 36 highly detailed figures distributed across six identical frames, engineered with an extensive variety of expressive heads, hoods, cloaks, and bare legs. Arm your tribal warband with long thrusting spears, throwing javelins, single-handed axes, or broadswords, complemented by historically distinct shield patterns—including classic circular bucklers, square shields, and iconic H-shaped Pictish shields. Whether you are staging tribal ambushes against Roman legions, defending the western kingdom of Dál Riata, or fighting the unified campaigns of Kenneth MacAlpin, these multi-part plastic figures deliver unmatched customization for competitive tabletop gaming and diorama projects.
