Plastic Hoplites from Immortal (released first 1/4 2010)
« on: March 08, 2010, 03:30:42 AM »
http://www.immortalminiatures.com/page51a.html

I've seen a few Jason and the Argonauts type games on here so I thought I'd share!

From the website:
Quote
There will be 34 figures in total (32 Hoplite's, 1 piper and an optional ornately armoured command figure) comprising of 20 Hoplites wearing linen/composite armour, 4 with bronze armour and 8 un-armoured figures.

With a total of 64 components per infantry frame (plus the command frame) you will have enormous choice in helmets, crests, shields and weapons; allowing you to create very individual units.

These are in tooling and are expected to be on sale in the first quarter of 2010.

The price will be around £15, including transfers.

They do look quite nice.  The Armored Hoplites look very epic.  Any idea on the scale?  I didn't see that mentioned anywhere, although it's a good chance I overlooked it.   ;)

Hoplites are a good start.
Will they do plastic Persians too ?
Going to need lots of opposition.....

I *think* they are 28mm.

Although I got the link from WAB Forum looking for examples of a 20mm Persian army (which brought up nothing!).

I hope they're 28mm.

I would definitely find something to use them for!

Hehe... these are actually "3 Ups" meaning they are about 3 times the size of a normal figure (whatever that size may be) and then get shrunk down on computer.

The detail would be incredible in 20mm but I think a lot of it might be lost in the process, too.

I think they are 28mm. That is the scale of the rest of the figures that Immortal has released for this period.

I have a pack, they're very nice.

Persians were previewed at Salute along with the initial work on Peltasts I think.
