We are very pleased to announce the release of our newest 75mm resin figure kit — the Roman Centurion (SKU: AB/39).
Stepping back nearly two thousand years, our Roman Centurion strikes a commanding figure in a transverse-crested helmet and lorica segmentata. This is a subject that never goes out of fashion for figure painters — the richness of material, texture, and historical detail makes a Roman officer one of the most rewarding and versatile subjects you can put on a painting stand.
About the Figure
Sculpted in crisp, high-quality resin at the full 75mm scale, the Roman Centurion is rendered with an authoritative stance befitting his rank. The lorica segmentata is beautifully articulated, each plate and fastening precisely rendered to give the painter a genuine sense of the armour's construction. The transverse crista on the helmet — the hallmark of the centurion — is cleanly cast, as are the tunic folds, military belt (cingulum militare), and the caligae footwear.
This is a figure that rewards painters at every level. For the competition entrant, the mix of smooth metal, textured leather, vibrant cloth, and organic skin tones offers a superb platform for demonstrating technical range. For the hobbyist painter, every part of the figure is a pleasure to paint, with clear and well-defined surfaces throughout.

Painting Possibilities
Roman military equipment offers one of the most exciting palettes in historical figure painting. Rich scarlet and purple for the crest and cloak, polished iron and bronze for the armour, natural leather tones for the straps and sandals, and sun-bronzed skin for a soldier of the Mediterranean world. Whether you approach this with careful NMM metalwork and freehand designs on the shield or prefer a more straightforward painted finish, the figure will reward your effort at every stage.
The Roman Centurion also lends itself beautifully to a simple base depicting a stone-flagged Roman street or a campaign encampment, allowing the figure's natural posture to command the surrounding space.
