The June Byzantii
Added 2024-05-29 12:08:12 +0000 UTCMiercenaries and Beastmasters! I've got some graphics sorted out for you all to drool over, including the first images of the BEASTMASTER beast, Estus the bicorniger...
MIERCENARY & SELL-SWORD
June's battle host is for the Byzantii Legio II Var, based around the incredible new legionarius contubernia, armed with spatha or pila, ably supported by the new centurion (Equitus Durio), option (Quintus Crito) and a totally new unit of gladiators riding lions. Yes, you read that right!
You'll get:
Equitus Durio, Centurion on foot and on horse (bare head / helmed head; spatha / hasta; scutum / parma variants)
Malus of Antioch, Magus Infernum Primus
Fiery Malus, Magus Infernum Primus
Quintus Crito, Option (bare head / helmed head; scutum / parma variants)
Arcus Quintus, Option (bare head / helmed head variants)
Agathae, Signifer (bare head / fiend helmed head variants)
Con I Modius, Spatha Legionarius Contubernium (8x warriors)
Con I Modius, Pila Legionarius Contubernium (8x warriors)
Tor I Italus, Ballista Tormentum
Lud I Crixus, Gladiator Ludus (3x warriors on foot)
Lud I Crixus, Leo Gladiator Ludus (3x warriors on leonis)
Not shown in the image above is the leo gladiator unit, which we are very excited about; we won't have the final sculpts of those until mid-June, simply because I am on holiday for the first two weeks of the month. I should be able to show you the lions before then, however. Note that they are gladiators, not myrmillos or retiarii - they have shield, sword, manicle and helm.
Loyalty Reward
The loyalty reward is very special - it's Spartakus!
Spartakus, Gladiator Primus on foot and on leonis (bare head / helmed head variants)
Sia, Leonis of Kyrene
Rumours of the bare head looking a little like a certain film star are entirely true.
BEASTMASTER
The BEASTMASTER tier will get a lovely new Byzantii monster this month... Estus the bicorniger! Standing on a 110x60mm base, this giant rhino-beast is definitely not to be trifled with!
Comments
Glad you're liking them mate! Wait until you see the gladiator leonatus unit... sadly I won't have time to show them until I get back from holiday, but they really are going to be amazing!

The really neat thing is that these are at that level where they're really cool but would normally fall right underneath the "purchase" line in favor of some other stuff, but that sweet sweet Warlord tier... I look forward to putting these to use.
