Indeed.
Another fine addition to the Legions of Rome.

Now we really need a good Fassbender head sculpt for the Centurion figure!

Hi guys, somebody asked me to show pictures of the kind of packaging of the upcoming Tiberius the Legionary.
So it's time to share some pictures with you.

The packaging is made of hard cardboard with external loop artwork

Internally you will find 2 layers of soft sponge foam, this will help to keep the pieces as safe as possible!

Finally, here is the pictures of what kind of pattern is "hidden" under the Shield Leather protection
As you can see every single details, also INVISIBLE ones are anylized meticulously!!!

I hope you will like the improvements we made for packaging, and I like thank you for all the precious feedback all over 2013 helping us improving the packaging quality!

Simply outstanding!

I'd never seen a Roman shield painted like that, what's the history behind it?

Hi Mate. The Shield pattern is based on the study made by Stephen Dando-Collins and published on one of the most important book about Roman Army, the title is "Legions of Rome".
This studies are based on a famous book, that is common used for university studies that is "Notitia dignitatum", this book was written under emperor Valentiniano III (425-455) so very late Roman Empire, but it include inside a "back history" of almost all the Roman Legion patterns and symbols.

The Legio VII Claudia was one of the Legion build by Julius Caesar.
All this legions used as "mark" on their pattern a Bull (of different colors, depends by legions)

Very interesting, I will take a look around for that book (Collins').

Thanks Fabio!

Might have been touched on before, but are they using the scaled chain mail for this release?

 

[screamingmetal]

Re: Kaustic Plastik - Legions of Rome: Tiberius Legionary - Coming in September 2013

Nope.
The real chainmail suits are a sold separately.
What's used here actually looks pretty convincing as scaled chainmail.

No, this releases will use a "simulate" chainmail (but as you can see by pictures it simulate it VERY WELL).
The cost to make hand by hand real Chainmail in 1:6, correct scaled is very high, so we decided at the moment to sell separately the Real Chainmail.

The first set of Real Chainmail will arrive at end of November and will be Medieval Model.

Re: Kaustic Plastik - Legions of Rome: Tiberius Legionary - Coming in September 2013

All rings size 1,2 mm
