Linear-A news & releases 2020 - 2024

[Howlin]

Another phalanx set! very nice!

[CliosPaintingBench]

This is the first time we've seen Egyptian Ptolemaic soldiers represented in 1/72 scale, and they're such excellent sculpts! This will definitely add diversity to the usual lineup of pikemen in the Hellenistic age.

[Erich von Manstein]

Next 2 figures revealed.

Wonderful new figurines. My compliments to Linear-A company.
Thank you for posting dear Erich.

[Cryns]

Very good figurines for a wide range of centuries and cultures. Also the poses make sense. Well done.

[Erich von Manstein]

came across this news on the linear A forums. looks like 3 sets will be for sale shortly, and possibly a 4th. We have seen some poses of the surprise set, I wonder if its not all phalanx and has other poses in there too? (since it is like the other 3 phalanx sets they have done but say it is unique, or is that it just being Egyptian has never been done before? )

Hello Felix,
here are some answers.
Set #038 can be bought in a couple of weeks, not 2 weeks.
the Athenians and Syracusans will also be ready at the same time.
SURPRISE Set #050 remains a SURPRISE Set and pictures will only be available immediately prior to launch. So the tension remains, the only thing we will reveal, there has never been a set like this before - the total confusion

[CliosPaintingBench]

All three sets will be a buy for me. I personally think I'll use the Athenians as Spartans, and make a separate Syracuse army. I have far, far too many projects in the pipeline. I do love these sculpts so far though, very thankful that Linear-A exists!

[Howlin]

yes, these are must buys, long awaited, not even sure I have seen all the poses but have been some of my favorites.

I was going to get the Caesar Greek hoplites but instead have been waiting for this set, and the ancient romans are also incredible.

I really do like the poses here, the detail and edges on the Athenian hoplites are fantastic. On some level, I do think we have enough hoplite sculpts, but I'm not going to complain that we're getting more. I value having unique poses in my units.

I really do like the Caesar Hoplites, I think they're some of the best in 1/72 alongside Zvezda. Why not both, haha?

[Erich von Manstein]

According to Linear-A we can expect 2 new sets soon.

038 - Romes early period 6th century BC Roman Army under King Servius Tullius





051 - Army of Syracuse Infantry Peloponnesian War / Sicilian Expedition Set 1

[CliosPaintingBench]

I don't know about historical accuracy, but does anyone know if the Syracuse hoplites didn't have helmet crests? I like how they appear to have their own aesthetic, but I can't find anything casually with a Google search.

Loving the new models of course!

[Howlin]

They have not revealed much of the Persian Cavalry set that is also at stage 7 of completion. I wonder will it have a chariot?

That would be nice, but too much to ask and too little diversity of pose?

[KenzoSato]

Good

[CliosPaintingBench]

"Hi guys,
here our whole set #031 Peloponnesian War, Sicilian Expedition 415-413 BC "The Army of Athens Set 1"
The set is already on its way to us and will therefore be released soon
ciao
linear-A"

Great to have so many new hoplite poses, very happy with the release of this set.

[Howlin]

These Hoplites may be the nicest set I've seen on pictures. Hope production values ran well.

Some good news!

[Erich von Manstein]

The last of the 4 forthcoming new sets is also fully revealed now.
Looking forward to the upcoming regular sized sets 031, 036, 038 & 051 (see the others above on this page).

036 - Battle of Cunaxa 401 BC Set 3 Persian Cavalry Xenophon`s War

[Michael Robert]

Thanks Erich,
all these Linear-A sets are fantastic again, Peloponnes, Syracuse and Cunaxa. Just a squibble that the Persian horse is just too diverse to turn the set into a useful force on the field. You need to add reinforcements from other sets - be creative - and there's not a lot out. Probably I'll use Phrygians.

[Howlin]

4 sets are now listed as complete 10 indicating ready for sale on the Linear a website.

the time has arrived.
