Exact same madness has happened to me in reverse. I started with the Hoplites, now the Vikings and Saxons have popped up! I thought my Hopites were pretty good till I saw these, are they transfers or hand painted decorations, on the shield aprons?

Very nice looking paint job

One thought - very few (if any) battles were purely Athenian v Spartan - alllies were normally presenent so you may wish to broaden your armies to include this

Yep aware of that - but at this stage I am camping these are Athenian and Spartan for my own thinking - it will not mean there is no inclusion of allies for both sides. Thanks for the feedback

What I need to work out is what really differentiates hoplites from city states aside from the obvious aspects of spartans and thebans.

Well here is the 1st unit completed. The second unit has been built and will be undercoated but I have 10 Saxon Fryd and 12 Wotr Archers to get done next.

Really happy with the outcome and I think i have improved the shield application with the second lot.

More to come I really enjoy painting these guys and have in my minds eye a huge army:)

Stunning! Are the shield drapes premade as well or...?

Wow, they look very impressive - best Victrix greeks I've seen done.

Thanks all

The shield aprons and painstakingly pain..... no they are transfers as well, a bit tricky but come out great when they work:)

2nd unit is now on the table being painted hopefully soonish will have them done.
