28mm Greek Generals...
« on: August 02, 2018, 11:38:00 AM »
Who makes the best looking 28mm dismounted Greek Generals/Senior Officers? I'm after some suitably imposing fellows to inspire my Hoplites on the field of battle.

I think the Foundry range for Greek generals is still the best overall. Xyston do a nice 28mm 'Leonidas' but the shield has a lambda, so more suitable for the Peloponnesian War.

This is Sparta!!!
Well it will be when I've done with 'em. A very nice man just dropped these lads off at mi' hovel. Half of them will transmorgify into Spartans so the Dunderheads can tell who's who!

I'm wondering at the method used to render the bases. I'd like to match some personality figures into the collection but I'm not sure of the basing technique?

???

I've got Warlord Games's Greek King on the stocks. He's wearing something that looks like armour on his upper thighs, would that be correct, or are they breeks of some sort? I don't want to paint them bronze then find out I'd dropped a royal goolie!
