Welcome to the Strelets Forum. Please feel free to discuss any aspect of 1/72 scale plastic figures, not simply Strelets. If you have any questions about our products then we will answer them here.
To answer your question about Auxiliaries and spears there are several representations that suggest that they carried more then one six foot spear, which would further suggest that they were capable of being thrown, so multi-purpose, shorter "javalins" are also represented...
Can't remember the last time PSR has painted up a review set so we can tell just how much they are appreciated there! What impresses me is how 3D and well proportioned and posed the figures are as one-part casts - particularly the way the shields look so natural. No oversized hands or undersized arms.
Just a shame for me that I have zero interest in this subject, and already have too many projects on the go, but that means I can say without prejudice that these truly are the best sculpted figures Strelets have ever made which is encouraging for future releases in all topics.
