Sarmatian Cataphracts - Warlord Games

When the Roman armies crossed the Danube and clashed with the tough Dacians of present day Romania they may not have counted on them bringing along their warlike allies, the Sarmatians. The Sarmatians seem to have become staunch friends of the Dacians, and together they proved to be a formidable opponent.

They fought in massed units, using the Kontos, a wicked long spear wielded with both hands to skewer their opponents and secondary weapons included maces and, especially, long swords.

Warlord's Sarmatians catch the wild look of these hard riding cavalry; woe betide your enemies when they break from a trot to a full charge!

The Samartian Cataphracts boxed set contains 8 metal Cataphracts including Command.
