Rus Infantry (48) from Victrix

The Rus engaged in intense conflicts with neighbouring Slavic tribes and formidable steppe cultures like the Pechenegs, Bulgars, and Khazars. Employed as mercenaries by the Byzantines, they were also formidable adversaries, epitomized in the chronicled Battle of Silistria in 972, where they advanced in an unyielding shield-wall formation with levelled spears. Their naval prowess allowed them to dominate crucial trading routes, amassing wealth that was reflected in their diverse and culturally influenced armaments.

The set includes:
48 exquisitely crafted miniatures - 24 armoured and 24 unarmoured figures (4 of each sprue)
37 unique head designs - 148 heads in total
Spears, swords, hand axes, and imposing two-handed axes
Command figure parts, including horn blowers and standard bearers

Each of the figures are equipped with a unique array of headgear and helmet designs drawing from Slavic, Asiatic and traditional Scandinavian influences.
