Victrix Plastic Model Figures
Gallic Naked Fanatics (28mm) VXA031
This 28mm hard plastic set from Victrix represents Gallic naked fanatics—fierce tribal warriors who fought with near-complete disregard for personal protection. Often seen charging into battle wearing nothing but a sword belt and scabbard, these warriors relied on intimidation, speed, and sheer physicality. Their distinctive appearance included lime-spiked hair and flowing moustaches, designed to strike fear into their enemies.
The set includes 24 highly detailed multipose miniatures with numerous head, arm, and weapon options. Swords, spears, javelins, and a wide variety of shield designs are included, along with parts to assemble command figures. These models capture the dramatic energy and ferocity of Gallic warriors in mid-charge, making them a striking addition to any ancient wargaming force or diorama.
Ideal for use in Gallic, Celtic, or barbarian-themed armies, these figures offer dynamic poses and bold visual character, particularly when combined with Victrix shield transfers or paint detailing. They are also historically flexible, suitable for use in scenarios from the Gallic Wars through to tribal rebellions in Roman-occupied Europe.

History:
Gallic naked fanatics were a fearsome element of ancient tribal warfare, known for their extreme bravado and ritualistic battle practices. Believing that fighting unclothed demonstrated fearlessness and brought favour from their gods, these warriors sought to overwhelm enemies with ferocity and spectacle. Greek and Roman sources frequently commented on their muscular builds and psychological tactics, which included war cries, frenzied charges, and elaborate body decoration. Though vulnerable to missile fire, they were often used in shock assaults and vanguard positions. Their presence in battle was as much a morale weapon as a physical threat, embodying the wild spirit of resistance against the expanding Roman world.
