Warlord Games - Epic Battles: Hail Caesar Ballista Stone-ThrowerCast the first stone in your games of Hail Caesar Epic Battles with the stone-flinging Ballista!Developed by the Romans from earlier Greek designs, the ballista was a powerful tool in the Republican Roman arsenal, filling the roles of both battlefield and siege artillery. Powered by twisted rope torsion ‘springs’, and built in a wide variety of calibres for different purposes, the most powerful could fling large stone balls (or later wood and iron darts) many hundreds of yards. Lethally accurate in the hands of a skilled crew, the ballista remained a mainstay of Roman artillery in one form or another for centuries.Deploy this heavy weapon to rain destruction on the enemies of Rome! Casting an imposing shadow over the battlefield, even in Epic Battles scale, this mighty stone-thrower is the perfect supporting piece for any Roman collection!Pack contains one Ballista Stone-thrower, cast in Warlord Resin.Models supplied unassembled and unpainted.

The 75/13 was the main mountain gun used by the Alpini, the Italian Army’s elite specialists in mountain warfare, capable of being broken down into sever loads for ease of transport in treacherous terrain.
The Cannone 75/13 functions as a light howitzer in games of Bolt Action forming part of an Artillery Platoon (1-4 Field artillery, anti-aircraft or anti-tank guns per platoon). Howitzers are powerful weapons capable of firing High Explosive rounds either directly through sights, or indirectly, which, whilst sacrificing accuracy whilst ranging in, renders any cover obsolete. It is also capable of laying down a smoke screen for your advancing troops.
Pack contains one metal Cannone 75/13, with three Italian Alpini crew and a plastic base.

Disciplined, stubborn, and brave troops, the Iron Brigade suffered the highest percentage of casualties of any brigade during the war, a testament to their fighting spirit and determination in the face of danger.These brave men are ready to join your Epic Battles: American Civil War Union force, marching proudly beneath their standards – and their fancy hats!This box contains two regiments of the Iron Brigade in Epic Battles scale, cast in finely detailed Warlord Resin and supplied with a full colour flag sheet.Models supplied unassembled and unpainted
