Orion is now presenting the set ORI 72017 Volkssturm 1945. The last German reserve to stop advancing Soviet Army at the soil of Third Reich, it was composed by civilians of non-conscription ages, sometimes with WWI experience, sometimes with none at all.

The armament varied a lot, while the uniform was not provided. The only service sign was an arm band. The set consists of 46 figures in 23 poses.

Another siege engine to complete the pre-Biblical army is the ORI 72023 Assyrian Siege Tower, as it can be seen at the surviving historical depictions.

This is a hard plastic kit with over 30 parts, making 1 model with working wheels and ram. Glue is required for assembly.

One of the earliest known siege engines, now presented by Orion, is an Assyrian Rams (ORI 72022).

Written sources report on Assyrians successfully using rams as back as 900-800 BC and even earlier. The set contains 2 Rams, one of which is covered by skins for extra protection, and can be armed with one of two optional heads.

The kit is made of hard plastic and requires qlue for assembly.

Orion is glad to present you a set of ORI 72013 Ukrainian Foot Cossaks and Artillery. Ukrainian lands happened to be the centerpoint of war actions in Eastern Europe of the 17th century. Armies of Poles, Russians, Tartars, and Turks were fighting for domination in the area.

Cossaks, the professional life-time military men, known for personal courage and sometimes for low discipline, were probably the most famous part of Ukrainian forces. In the course of war the self-governed Cossack regiments have joined all the engaged powers.

ORION releases a WWII set - ORI 72018 German Paratroopers. The set consists of 24 figures in 12 poses and 2 Kettenkraftrads, which were often supplied to these troops.

Some of the figures are designed to make the crew of the vehicle.

Latest addition to the Medieval range of figures is a new ORION set of ORI72019 Medieval Siege Troops, produced to supply crews to the early sets of ORION Medieval Siege Engines.

The set also contains a group of figures armed with various handguns of the period. 50 figures in 25 poses total, and a bonus joker figure is included.

A new set featuring Parthian Heavy Cavalry (ORI 72021) has been introduced by ORION for use in conjunction with the Ancient range of figures.

For almost seven centuries Parthians were a formidable opponent to the war machine of Rome in Minor Asia, with mobile units of heavy cavalry as an asimmetrical responce to the infantry legions. The set consists of 12 mounted figures in 12 poses, some of the figures are ringhands.

A new set by ORION - ORI 72008 Roman Siege Troops - consists of 42 figures in 21 poses, that were designed for use with 1/72 scale siege engines,produced by other manufacturers. Some of the poses are supposed to fit catapults and assault ladders made by Zvezda, while others, such as archers or figures performing engineering tasks, can be used for general support.

And, of course, a special joker figure was not forgotten...

We are glad to present you a new set from our friends at DDS - Landsknechts part 2: Pikemen (16-17th century). A new addition to the Renaissance range, this set brings 24 figures in 8 basic poses, completed with sprues with separate hats and long pikes. Most of the figures also have separate hands to hold pikes at different angles and in different positions, and thus require some qlue.
