HAIL CAESAR: Gastrophetes 28mm Miniatures

1-103014601

This weapon combined the strength of a composite bow with a mechanical draw system, allowing soldiers to fire bolts capable of piercing armored targets. The weapon was operated by bracing the stock against the belly and using body weight to draw the string. It was a forerunner of later siege engines like the oxybeles and the ballista. Models supplied unassembled and unpainted; square base not included.
