Footsore Miniatures - Gangs of Rome Accessory Set review We were very impressed by Gangs of Rome when we looked at the ruleset in Wi435, and the goodies keep on coming with this excellent Accessories Set, containing everything you need to play, if you have the book. ‘Accessories’ is somewhat underselling it as not only do you get gameplay aids, but there are five frames of plastic Roman Citizens included, and an excellent MDF terrain kit, too. The plastics On the frames, produced by Wargames Atlantic (WA), you get a grand total of 30 figures. This is enough to make two opposing gangs of five fighters, three ‘mobs’ of five angry citizens, and you’ll still have a frame spare. These figures are everything you’d expect from the increasingly capable plastic casters at WA, with excellent detail across the parts, and a huge variety of builds possible. The only slight downside is that this is an all-male selection, but Footsore’s range of metals has female figures to pick from. As the game requires both Gang Fighters and civilians to form bigger based mobs (three 80mm mob bases and ten 25mm individual bases are included in MDF), the weapons present are extremely varied. Swords, daggers, pilum, bows, slings, and clubs make for a motley crew of Fighters, while more improvised weapons - amphora, rocks, and sticks - are more suitable for the mob members. Extras on the frame - armour, a gladiatorial helm, shields, cloaks, purses, and stashed weapons - further spread the build options. The cloak is a neat double part piece that can be hung dynamically over the model. A ruffian with some rather rudimentary weapons. A gladiatorial fighter out on the streets of Rome. The villa of Gallan the Greek Currently exclusive to this set is a special MDF terrain piece from Sarissa Precision: the home of Gallan the Greek, a famous physician and astronomer, feted by the great of Rome. A quick-to-build kit with multilevel detail and usable interiors and exteriors, this is a great-looking piece of terrain that also works well in game. Footsore have made whole backstory for Gallan, who has converted his rather splendid villa to grow the plants and herbs he needs for his medicines. Less well-known is that Galan also deals with the underbelly of Rome, and is a master of many poisons. So secret and rare are some of his ingredients that he is prepared to pay whatever the price and ask no questions, so by day he is visited by the mighty and powerful, and by night... We’re happy to hear that a miniature of Gallan the Greek is planned! The rest For your gaming needs, there are D6s - seven
