The Triremes of the 5th and 4th centuries BC were the weapon of mass destruction of the time. Their hulls and crew designed, selected and trained to develop speeds of over 10 knots at which they would ram the enemy ships to produce enough damage to cripple them and render them useless in the middle of the sea, to later claim their prize in bronze ( the heavy and precious ram ), wood and timber. Triremes were precious items indeed that cost a fortune to build and a fortune to run, so rarely they would end up in the bottom. of the sea. In a game of Thalassa: Naval Battles on the Ancient seas, we have looked into these peculiar aspects of naval warfare for a different approach in a different type of skirmis experience.
Designed by Dankaiminiatures, this set is optimised for UV resin printing and is supplied fully supported at 1/300 scale.
The set includes options for open and folded mainsails, the very effective jib sail upgrade option, the Mastery Flag to indicate the game proficiency of the ship's crew and a selection of basic crew stands (representing the armed oarsmen) when launching a boarding action.
The crew stands can be upgraded with the fleet sector to Hoplites, Marines (Epibatai) and skilled archers (Toxotai) as well as several different engines of war like Monagons and Oxybeles (sold separately).
The set also comes with four different bow figureheads (horns) and four different stern decorations (tail) and a selection of deck clutter like amphorae, boxes and other decorative elements to make each ship different before printing.
