Warlord Games have added more figures to their Hail Caesar Range.  A box set each of Dacian Nobles and Dacian Falxmen.  Each box contains an amazing 42 figures!!

The Nobles

"To the sound of rasping carynx horns and wild cries, the elite infantry of the Dacian army would surge forward against their invading Roman foe, intimidating them with their wild barbarian appearance and fierce countenance. Marking them out as warriors of a higher rank or caste, Dacian noblemen wore felt Phrygian caps. Being of higher social status, Nobles would be better equipped than their countrymen, with chainmail, helmets and more ornate weaponry being the norm. These tough warriors were eager to close with their hated enemy and punish them for trespassing into their homeland.

The box of Dacian nobles is the hitting power your Dacian army needs to drive out the Romans once and for all!  It has 42 multi-pose hard plastic and metal Dacian noblemen armed with hand weapons and shield. Full-colour waterslide shield design decals included!" (Warlord Games)

The Falxmen

"There were few ancient peoples who were able to challenge the might of Rome, but the fierce Dacians, hailing from what is largely modern Romania, were one of the exceptions. Fighting two mighty wars with Rome, the Dacians gave the Legions a bloody nose they would not forget! Fighting principally as infantry, the Dacians allied themselves with the highly skilled horsemen, and women, of Sarmatia, making a balanced and very powerful enemy force to fight, as the Romans found out to their cost. The most terrifying and effective Dacian troops were those armed with the lethal falx – a wicked looking double-handed war scythe that could shatter a shield and carve off a limb with a single blow. So fearsome was this weapon, the Romans developed additional armour to protect arms, legs and heads from it’s devastating impact. Sound the carnyx and raise the standard high, the Dacians are going to war!

The Rules Supplement

 To accompany these two fabulous box sets is the first campaign supplement for their Hail Caesar rules set “Rome’s Dacian Wars” which is now also on general release. This 64-page supplement for Hail Caesar focuses on Rome’s wars under Trajan against the Dacians and their Sarmatian allies. Featured battles include the Battle of Adamclisi, the Battle of Tapae and the Siege of Sarmizegetusa Regia.  

This is the first in a series of planned supplements looking at specific campaigns during the timescale covered by Hail Caesar rules – 3000 BC to around 1100 AD.
