Charge! It's from Foundry Greek Peltast Characters pack, one of my favorites Greek sets there, containing not only some dollies but really eight different lovely miniatures.

Entry No. 13 (Ancient Greek Peltast)

Some lovely painting on this thread.
I have some Greeks to paint. I may try and get one or two done for this, If at my snails pace I can manage before the magic number.

Two more beautiful entries here :-* :-*

Don't fill the spaces too fast people. I ordered some Celtic figures from Warlord and they should arrive by Friday. They will the first historical figures I've ever painted and I want the first one to stand on this page.

Keep it up fellows, but hold one spot for me :-* :-*

I don't recall the manufacturer of the miniature.  It may have been Battlefront as part of their Wargames Illustrated Moments in History Line, but a recent web search tells me I am likely wrong.

Entry No. 14: Alexander


Welcome, eluczaj to the forum and to the club! Very nice entry!

btw, it's a Xyston miniature:

I finished my first elefant yesterday, and it is also one of the first ancient minis I did.
He's a 15mm figure from corvus belli.

Finally a 15mil model, very well done, Ben!
But also congrats to all other participants so far. If this thread gets people started painting Ancients figures, that's quite beneficial in my book. :D

He does kind of look like he's singing "Oh what a beautiful Mornin'" from Oklahoma! though.  :)

Or perhaps it's from Beowulf: The Musical.



But yes, I agree. Fine job, no worries there.
