While we have been busy working on wrapping up the remaining codes for the Etruscan range, we’ve decided to take a moment and preview a variety of work in progress shots for some future Gorgon releases.

New Etruscan Shield Transfers

admin — Tue, 03 Aug 2010 14:54:44 +0000

Stephen from Little Big Man studios did a bang up job on these latest transfer offerings!

The first two sheets are designed to fit our Early Scutum I, II, III [GMSH-004, 005, 006] shield variants that are supplied with our 2nd and soon to be released 3rd class Etruscans. Each sheet contains 8 transfers to fit Early Scutum variant II, III and 4 transfers to fit Early Scutum variant I.

Additionally, Little Big Man has worked up a transfer sheet designed to fit our Small Aspis shields [GMSH-010]. These are supplied optionally for our Etruscan Cavalry packs as well as useful for a variety of other ancient troops.

New June Releases!

admin — Tue, 08 Jun 2010 20:23:42 +0000

First on the list are some 28mm Etruscan Heavy Cavalry. This release is comprised of three packs, including a command pack, for a total of nine poses. The cavalry comes with a choice of shield variants.

Components have been made available separately with more shields and standards added to the webcart. Additionally, horses from this cavalry release are available (three horse variants per pack) for anyone in need of equine reinforcements.

The Etruscan heavy cavalry are dynamic figures and full of character. Like our Etruscan hoplites, the heavy cavalry can also be used as warriors from a variety of Greek city-states of the same era.

Additionally, we have a new 28mm Ancient World offering this month, Heracleides the Syracusan!

A veteran of the long wars with Carthage and decorated officer, Heracleides could no longer tolerate the ruthlessness of the Syracusan Tyrant, Dionysius. Heracleides and a handful of like-minded commanders attempted an ill-fated coup d’etat. Though spared from death, Heracleides was exiled from Sicily, forever forbidden to step again on her shores. He now makes his living as a mercenary and has fought with the Athenians and Illyrians. He longs for the day he can finally return to his beloved city-state.

The masters for the next release in our Etruscan line are hot from the mold! We are extremely proud of these cavalry models. Some non-partisan sources are already saying these are some of the best 28mm horses to date! The cavalry will have a choice of two shields (shield photos coming soon) and will be available for purchase shortly. In the meantime, enjoy these preview photos:

Etruscan Army Lists

admin — Thu, 18 Feb 2010 20:52:28 +0000

The brand new edition of Wargames, Soldiers and Strategy magazine (number 52, February 2010) includes the first installment of Allen Curtis’ ‘Rise of Rome’. This serialized version of his original Warhammer Ancients Battles manuscript will eventually include background and army lists for Etruscans, Samnites, Oscans, Latins, the Hill Tribes, early Carthaginians and Syracusans. Basically, the most important army lists ever! Additionally, Allen, with help from Mark Sims at Crusader, has created parallel army lists for the Crusader rules and Lorenzo Sartori of Dadie & Piombo has supplied lists for Impetus.

The ‘Rise of Rome’ article is also extremely graphics heavy, with lots of photos of Gorgon Studios’ early Etruscans painted by Dave Pauwels. The same issue of WSS also includes another positive review of Gorgon’s Etruscan figure line.

Centurio Valerius of Arretium

admin — Mon, 15 Feb 2010 23:10:30 +0000

Gorgon Studios is proud to reveal its latest ‘Ancients World’ character, Centurio Valerius of Arretium. Sculpted by Steve Saleh, Valerius is the latest in Gorgon’s line of ancient personalities.

Valerius is something of a celebrity in the Etruscan city-state of Arretium. Renown throughout the League as a resourceful commander with “balls of bronze”, one tale in particular illustrates his cunning. In the summer of 424 BC, Valerius led his men on a raid into the Po River valley. To sow discord amongst the Gallic tribes, he and his troops would steal livestock and then plant the animals in the villages of neighboring tribes. Nearly a dozen inter-tribal conflicts were instigated in this manner, with Valerius and his Etruscans always ready to assist the “wounded” party. Co-released with Ancient Warfare magazine.
