Title: Looking for plastic peltasts
Post by: Froggy the Great on 26 November 2013, 11:11:12 PM: Ok, so I'm building a late Hoplite army for Hail Caesar. I've got hoplites covered wih two boxes of Immortal and half a box of vicrtic plastics. Does anyone know of a good source for plastic peltasts that will match the scale of the Immortal figures? The Googles have failed me for extant manufacturers.

For that matter, anyone know of good/cheap/hopefullyplastic greek cavalry?

Much appreciated.

Who knows how long til they're out, though.
