Thanks for the kind words, everybody. After my first visit to Salute this year, I decided to start up this project again. Here are some more skeletons, from Bears Head Miniatures.



Although taller, they mix well with the old Citadel plastic skellybobs:



There are a few WIP pix on my blog if anybody is interested: https://nerdlard.blogspot.com/2019/08/greek-skeletons.html

Askellad – as it happens, I bought a box of 'em at Britcon last weekend! There are some glaring anatomical errors so I'm going to use them for parts. I liked the accessories such as the helmets and shields though. I'll get a lot of use out of the kit, but probably not in the way that was intended…

It's back to humans now, so here are some skirmishers. First, some slingers with willies from Redoubt’s venerable Trojan Wars range:



Next, some nicely-proportioned archers from Victrix (with headswaps from other Victrix sets for variety):

Very cool ideas and some lovely painting on those plastics. I’m impressed how well your not-Satyrs work!

Well, we have some naked guys waving some long flexible things - are they their "Trojans" they are waving?  The one second to the right looks lke he is saying, " Hey baby, I remembered my Trojans".

Nice figures.  I particularly like the skellies.

Great paintjob all over! And nice sculpts with well-chosen action poses!

Thanks, everybody.

Nervisfr: don’t wait! Time won’t wait for you.

Here are a few ‘men of bronze’; minions to go with my as-yet-unpurchased Talos model. They didn’t look very promising to start with but they turned out OK in the end.

I’ve put a walkthrough of how I painted the miniatures on my blog in case it’s of interest to anybody: https://nerdlard.blogspot.com/2019/08/men-of-bronze.html
