Each Roman Centuria within a Legion was equipped with a Light Bolt shooter, either a Scorpion or a Manuballista. These weapons, manned by regular Legionaries, served both on the battlefield and defensively from forts or during sieges. Capable of launching large darts or bolts at significantly longer ranges than typical bows, they provided Roman Legions with devastating long-range, heavy-hitting firepower.
A helpful image on Trajan’s column vividly depicts these bolt-shooters, with cylindrical drums, laying siege to a Dacian hillfort.
With plenty of bits provided, each figure can be customized to ensure your bolt-shooter Bases are ready for action, adding an extra layer of authenticity and detail to your Roman Legion.
Content:
- 4 x Bolt shooters and the option of extended slider and drawn back slider ready to shoot.
- 4 x barrels and lots of loose bolts to fill the barrels.
- 8 x defensive stakes
- 16 x crew Figures in various poses. Ratcheting back the hand cranks, loading the bolts, standing guard. We even have arms with picks, axes and buckets so you can use them as Romans building and entrenching.
- 44 x Heads including Option head with Feathers and some bare heads.
If you want to convert this into a Late Roman bolt-shooter you could easily convert some of the Late Roman infantry Figures from the armoured, unarmoured and archer sets.
