Onager is a type of catapult with ancient origins. It was also widely used in the Middle Ages. The Romans used to call this machine a tormentum or scorpion. Standing on two runners, the catapult used a long arm with a “spoon” to hurl stone projectiles, flaming charges and other objects intended to frighten the enemy (snakes, rubbish, severed heads, etc.). In the block model, we used a rubber band instead of tangled ropes to stretch the arm! Thanks to this solution, you can quickly and safely launch your own siege and throw block projectiles!
The set includes a Roman legionary equipped with a helmet (galea), armour (lorica segmentata), shield (scutum) and spear (pilum). A special block that extends the tunic contains imprints of hanging belts (baltea). You can place the catapult on the block base included in the set to imitate a fragment of terrain.
We assure you that the catapult is fun thanks to the clever mechanism!
