Description

2 High quality 28mm plastic miniature ancient slingers on this sprue.

The sling had been a popular weapon throughout ancient history but it was the Balearic slinger the presented the zenith of the use of the sling as an effective weapon of war. It is said that the slingers from the Balearic weapons had been proficient with the sling for many years using it both in warfare and hunting. With the onset of the Punic Wars there was much opportunity for these slingers to hire themselves out as mercenaries and thus much emphasis was put into training with the sling. It is said that a good slinger could propel his missile up to 400 metres, this being greater then the bow and arrow.

Although ammunition in the form of stones could be found readily many slingers favoured lead missiles due the their smaller size and the fact they were very difficult for the enemy to see with the naked eye. Some missiles would be cast from lead and feature fins that would aid flight and trajectory.

Balearic slingers were used extensively throughout the Punic Wars and would feature in the armies of Rome and Carthage.  

Figures need assembly and painting.

Very happy!

I was so happy to see these small slinger sprues available. It’s really hard to find 32mm (my preferred size) models armed with slings, so having several choices to kitbash is awesome. Plus, I got a couple of extra heads to experiment with.

Loving these models so far...

Great sculpts for kitbashing. They fit in perfectly with the 3d printable files for these sculpts that WGA released years ago, and can easily be combined with other WWII kits. Vive la France!

Fantastic addition to Collection

A fantastic addition to your WW1 miniature wargame collection! If you have either British or French troops then they will need an opponent to fight in the trenches of No Man's Land. Check it out.

Great detail.

Detail is great, slightly more flash to remove on the horse sprue than Wargames Atlantic's more recent minis. Still worth the purchase for sure.

I bought these to form the nucleus of my Visigoth war band for the Fall of Rome supplement for Pillage. There are a lot of options to arm these warriors and great action poses can be achieved with a little effort. They can also be used in certain fantasy games based in novels and movies/ Tv shows.

These figures are incredible. The sculpting and attention to detail is second to none. These figures are far superior to most metal miniatures on the market today.
