Having completed the Carthaginians last week I'm moving onto the Romans this week. The Romans don't make extensive use of allies in Clash but they do some with a unit of Samnites in the starter box.
These are armoured in a very different style to the Roman troops and almost seem to be an Iberian / Greek mix of equipment. This makes a nice varied little unit to add into the Roman force.
Like the Iberians in the Carthaginian army these troops are happiest when striking out of rough terrain. With partial armour and Wall of Spears they should be more durable on the defence if they can form close order to receive a charge.
As with the other Victrix models these are easy enough to put together and have lots of extra options on the sprue so you can get each model looking pretty unique.
The Roman list is going to consist of a lot of spear throwing infantry with only the Triarii fighting in the hoplite style. So getting the most out of the various different types of spear throwers is no doubt going to be key.
Onto the cavalry next, which is a small elite unit so shouldn't take long.
They do a set with pretty much the same armour and heads as Latin Allies. Main difference is the shields and the addition of pilum arms
