Yep its armour. There used to be armour sets that covered almost the whole body not unlike a renaissance knight. But later in the classical era they came out of fashion because the synaspismos was providing enough protection without having to carry all that extra weight of armour.

Great models suggestions for models.

My favourite general is a Salute 2013 model of Jason (Argonauts) , which looks much more classical than "Argonaut" age, in my opinion. Comes with the option of hoplon arm or one where he's holding the head of a slain dragon creature thing.

Might be able to find one on eBay.. That's where I got mine!

Had him for ages, he just found his way onto the painting table!

I'm just getting round to re-basing some skirmishers, slingers and blokes chucking javelins. Can you mix them as units, or were slingers in one mob and javelins in another?

There are Several command sets on the 1st Corps site.

I reality they were probably mixed up but I would have thought for most rule sets it would be best to keep them separate because they have different ranges.

At the moment the general plan is to have really nice figures, and old skool daft rules, along the lines of 'one hour wargames'. So mixed units of shabby riff-raff may be doable!

One Hoplite doesn't make an army.

As usual for every worker there's three gaffers!!!

Now yer talking, the heavy mob's turned up!

Looking at Swiftnick's nicely painted Bronze Age Achaeans, I'm thinking...
I wonder if Greek Hoplites painted their spear shaft thingys?

This mob'll never win any painting competitions, but I've wanted an Hoplite Army since I was a kid, and it's now coming along nicely. King Nikilles and Queen Jeanius (me and our Gert!) turned out nicer than I thought they would!
Next up, the dead bloke on his shield.

The heavy mob so far!

I like 'em

Keen to see the dead bloke on a shield too!
