Victrix Rus Infantry — 28mm Plastic Dark Age Warriors (48 Figures)

Raise a formidable force of 8th–9th century Rus warriors with this comprehensive Victrix plastic infantry set. With 48 highly detailed 28mm figures, it's the definitive box for building Rus, Varangian Guard, or Slavic warbands for Saga, Pillage, and other Dark Age skirmish games.

The Rus — primarily Norse-Swedes who pushed eastward along the great river routes — clashed with Slavic tribes, Pechenegs, Bulgars, and Khazars, and served as elite mercenaries for the Byzantine Empire. At the Battle of Silistria in 972, they advanced in an unyielding shield-wall, spears levelled — a testament to their fearsome battlefield discipline.

What's in the Box:

• 48 figures total — 24 armoured and 24 unarmoured (4 of each sprue)
• 37 unique head designs — 148 heads in total
• Weapons include spears, swords, hand axes, and two-handed axes
• Command parts: horn blowers and standard bearers
• Round shields and distinctive Slavic rectangular shields included
• Scale: 28mm
• Manufacturer: Victrix
• SKU: VXDA018

Versatility: These figures double as Varangian Guard of the Byzantine Empire or generic Slavic warriors. Combine with the Victrix Viking set for greater variety, or add the Victrix Dark Age Archers set for ranged support.

Shield transfers designed specifically for the Rus are available separately on our website. Viking shield transfers are also compatible.

Models require assembly and painting. Paints, glue, and bases sold separately.
