Who makes the best Hoplites?
« on: July 20, 2014, 08:10:23 PM »
I'm after some plastic 28mm Greek Hoplites for skirmish wargames...
who makes the best figures and why do you favour them?

???

I'd go with the Victrix Mercenary box set.

My favourites are the Warlord/Immortal hoplites as they fit together nicely and look great in phalanx formation. They may not favour a skirmish game aswell though.

For skirmish I'd go with Victrix. Immortal/Warlord is suitable for large units in Phalanx formation, but for skirmish the extra posability (even if limited) on the Victrix ones would be nice.
