Victrix Limited Thureophoroi 28 mm Scale Model Plastic Figures

Victrix Limitedhas meticulously engineered the definitive28mm scaletactical link for theWarriors of Antiquityseries with this set of36 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-fidelitygray 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 theVictrix Ltdbrand.

The versatility of this kit is its primary value proposition, providing a complete army core for Hellenistic-era wargaming. Equipped with the iconic ovalthureos 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 truemulti-part plastic figures, the kitbashing potential is nearly infinite; parts are interchangeable with otherVictrix Limitedsets, allowing you to customize your force for Philip V of Macedon, the Seleucid Empire, or even as elite mercenaries.
