Victrix Limited has meticulously engineered the definitive 28mm scale tactical link for the Warriors of Antiquity series with this set of 36 modular Thureophoroi. Emerging in the 3rd century BC as the Hellenistic answer to shifting battlefield needs, these versatile warriors bridge the gap between the rigid pike phalanx and light skirmishers. Molded in high-fidelity gray polystyrene, this set captures the transition from Classical Greece to the rise of Imperial Rome, offering the anatomical precision and "builder-centric" modularity that defines the Victrix Ltd brand.
The versatility of this kit is its primary value proposition, providing a complete army core for Hellenistic-era wargaming. Equipped with the iconic oval thureos shield—a design inspired by Celtic contact—these troops are built for flexibility, capable of skirmishing, forming a solid shield wall, or driving off enemy cavalry. Because these are true multi-part plastic figures, the kitbashing potential is nearly infinite; parts are interchangeable with other Victrix Limited sets, allowing you to customize your force for Philip V of Macedon, the Seleucid Empire, or even as elite mercenaries.
