Title: Plastic Hoplites from Immortal (released first 1/4 2010)
Post by: Christian 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.

Post by: P_Clapham on March 08, 2010, 07:19:30 PM: 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. ;)

Post by: fastolfrus on March 08, 2010, 08:32:34 PM: Hoplites are a good start.
Will they do plastic Persians too ?
Going to need lots of opposition.....

Post by: Christian on March 09, 2010, 01:36:26 AM: 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!

Post by: P_Clapham on March 09, 2010, 01:47:36 AM: If they are 20mm, well thats really bloody impressive for 20mm then. :o

Post by: Christian on March 09, 2010, 06:51:55 AM: 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.

Post by: HerbyF on March 09, 2010, 07:36:45 AM: I think they are 28mm. That is the scale of the rest of the figures that Immortal has released for this period.

Post by: Dewbakuk on May 02, 2010, 01:55:26 PM: I have a pack, they're very nice.

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

Post by: Dewbakuk on June 30, 2010, 11:39:39 AM: What do you want to know? Immortal themselves have shots of the sprues on their site.

Post by: Sangennaru on June 30, 2010, 02:08:47 PM: i know, but somehow looking pics made by customers give me a better idea of the minis!
Title: Re: Plastic Hoplites from Immortal (released first 1/4 2010)
Post by: Captain Justice on June 30, 2010, 04:24:10 PM: Compared to historical 25 to28 minnis these have alot of detail in the muscle almost
heroic but not gamesworkshop heroic. Like I said earlier I like them,but be prepared to sit down and take some time putting them together. You cant be feeding the baby answering the phone etc etc while putting them together. No multi tasking lol

Fair enough, if there is something particular you'd like to see, just say. I'll see if I can get a photo done.
