Mycenaean Spearmen
« on: 29 October 2023, 06:21:08 AM »
Finished up some 28mm spearmen towards the Trojan
War project - these are mostly Foundry with some Newline Miniatures mixed in (many thanks to LAF member Gibby for these!). Painted with GW Contrast Paints and acrylics, photographed in front of a Jon Hodgson Backdrop.

Exactly so! Myrmidons next, probably.

They look brilliant. Looks like the Newline figures fit in really well with the Foundry ones!  :)

Agreed, they look great! There’s something I find appealing about Bronze Age forces. Probably from childhood exposure to the Iliad….  Definitely looking forward to seeing more as they’re completed!
