Great video! I know I'm a bit late to this conversation, but I'm finding these unboxings helpful, as I'm dipping my toe into Victrix stuff at the moment. The Foundry part at the end made me chuckle - and feel my age. Good stuff!

Thanks for watching! Victrix is a great option though I still do love the old foundry lot… have fun with the minis!

Nice unboxing. I've been looking at the Victrix hoplites for my next Ancients project. Your Greco-Punic project sounds really cool.

They’re good models. If you want some of their latest and best it’s probably the Alexander era ones that have the best proportions. The armoured Greeks were some of their first ancients out but still stand very well against new stuff. Thanks for watching!

@@carthagemustbedestroyed I'm torn between the Spartans and the Athenians at the moment. I imagine I'll build up both sides and then browbeat my friends into doing the Peloponnesian Wars. That said, I've got a pretty good sized Carthaginian and Gaullic Army, so the Greco-Punic stuff sounds like a whole other adventure.

@@jvcpaints I have had all sets at one point now save the phalangites - I like them all but I feel the Spartan one is somewhat the least viable for representing mercenaries or forces elsewhere. It’s pretty distinctly Spartan with the helmets and beards so if it were me I’d probably get Athenian. I’m using some old heads I have from the unarmored hoplite pack and some hellenized attic helmets from the carthage box as well because I think most of my games are going to be Sicily from 399-300 bc so it should fit alright

Yeah I prefer the old boxes but I understand the move to bags. Helps display what’s in the box better and hangs well in a store! Yeah I got the ancient itch. Carthage must be destroyed.

The Romans called the Greek colonies in southern Italy "Magna Graecia" (“Great Greece”) while the Greeks referred to it as "Megale Hellas" if I remember correctly.

I want some victrix stuff but it's not readily available to me stateside. I may have to break down and just order direct I just don't trust them to arrive undamage after postal workers handle them lol

I usually have good results from Victoria shipping but if my local store, which started carrying tons of victrix about a year or two ago, has it, I'll get it there. Usually its a tiny bit more expensive but at the store, but ordering from victrix becomes more due to shipping. I believe there was a few state side companies selling victrix back in the day. I haven't had to pay attention to them though since the FLGS started selling them lol

i've ordered them to the US several times and can count on half of one hand how many breakages i have had. And I have ordered a whole lot.

A nice and interesting unboxing. I can understand why they went to bags as less hard to lose loose bits, but in a world moving towards recyclable packing seems a bit backwards. :(
