Victrix Plastic Model Figures
Dacians (28mm) VXA040
This superb 28mm hard plastic kit from Victrix contains 60 highly detailed Dacian warriors—ideal for recreating the fierce foes that challenged Roman expansion during the Dacian Wars. The Dacians, also known to the Greeks as the Getae, were a proud and warlike people inhabiting the mountainous regions around the Carpathians. Known for their skilled craftsmanship and brutal fighting style, they earned the fear and respect of their Roman adversaries.
This set features an array of weapons including spears, swords, bows, and the infamous Falx—a deadly two-handed sickle capable of penetrating Roman helmets and slicing through limbs. Archers and nobles in mail or scale armour are included, along with options to equip your warriors with captured Roman gear. A wide selection of heads, arms, and weaponry allows you to build a dynamic and varied army. Many parts are also fully compatible with Victrix’s Germanic Warriors set for even more customisation.

History:
The Dacians stood as one of Rome’s most determined enemies, repeatedly clashing with Roman forces during the 1st and 2nd centuries AD. Under the leadership of King Decebalus, they waged prolonged wars against the Roman Empire, culminating in Emperor Trajan’s brutal campaigns in the early 100s AD. Dacian warriors fought with a mix of indigenous weapons and captured Roman arms, often using their knowledge of the terrain to devastating effect. The Falx, in particular, prompted the Romans to reinforce their helmets and armour. Though ultimately conquered, the Dacians left a lasting legacy, their fierce resistance immortalised in the carvings of Trajan’s Column in Rome. This set captures the diverse, battle-hardened look of the Dacian fighting force at its peak.
