Product details

Background & context

In ancient times, the Germanic tribes were considered the wildest and most unpredictable warriors north of the Alps. Among their particularly fanatical fighters were men who worked themselves into a kind of battle frenzy and charged into the enemy bare-chested or lightly armored. Tacitus described these warriors as imbued with almost untamable courage, driven by tribal honor and religious fervor. For the Roman legions, they were a constant threat - unpredictable, tenacious, and contemptuous of death. They became famous at the latest with the Battle of the Teutoburg Forest in 9 AD, when Germanic warriors decisively defeated three Roman legions.

On the tabletop

Eight Germanic fanatics form the spearhead of a tribal army in Hail Caesar. Half-naked and clad in furs, they run ahead of the rest of the warband towards the enemy line. Their impact is meant to hit the legionaries on the Rhine or the Danube before the rest of your horde follows up. If the enemy holds against this first blow, the unit behind them has to decide the fight. They are modelled on warrior bands such as Tacitus describes among the Chatti and the Harii.
