Title: Hoplite shields
Post by: twrchtrwyth on July 23, 2015, 12:13:59 AM

Who makes 28mm hoplite shields that are 18-20mm across, similar size to Immortal/Warlord? Anyone know?

Only have Aventine's at hand – from their Early Italy range, but I reckon they're the same throughout. Each aspis is about 15mm in diameter.
Perhaps this other thread (http://leadadventureforum.com/index.php?topic=75169.0) might be useful too.

Cheers, I looked at that thread but the only measurements I could see on the links were around the 15mm mark.

Gorgon Miniatures (http://www.gorgon-studios.com/index.php?main_page=index&cPath=6) probably has what you're looking for

Essex Miniatures do hoplite shields of about that size.

I had a look at Essex's site and they don't list seperate hoplite shields at all but I've sent an e-mail asking, cheers.

Cheers, nice shields but too small at 16mm for what I need, Immortal's are 20mm across.
