ProjectTroy
«

With the New Year in, 2021's ProjectTroy is under way; in a very small way at least. I have ordered 60-odd 28mm figures (more than all the other 28mm miniatures I currently own combined) from Foundry, Newline, Eureka and Lucid Eye to field a 750 point army of Trojans for
Fantastic Battles
. Basing them on 60mm wide bases, the same figures will provide options for 100 or 120 point games of
l'Art de la Guerre
, or one large (or two understrength) division/s for
Hail Caesar
. Presuming I pull the original plan together, there is them loads of scope to expand!
The first miniature to get some paint is a Trojan prince to serve as the army's warlord. He is - rather ironically - one of the warrior figures from a Foundry 'Achilles' chariot pack. He has fancier armour than any of the other figures in the collection so far, so it was only right that he got to don some royal purple.

There is never enough Trojan war threads, so thanks. Nice start and I'll be following your progress.

Thats a nice paint job look forward to watching the project development, its a personal favourite period of mine.
I am also working on a Trojan War project, revitalising a demo game (Salute and Partizan) from 20 years ago. (the terrain also went to GW games day in 2002)
It will have around 1000 infantry and 70 plus chariots, plus civilian vignettes - the table is 10' x 6' and includes the walls of Troy, 4 ships and buildings inside the walls so it is a monster game!
Last time out a group of us put all the armies together but I am now working through the entire lot myself because I collected everything I needed back at the time, I just never painted it! Somewhere around halfway through the infantry, and 50 chariots to go, so it won't be back on the show circuit just yet
I am also writing a full campaign booklet for War & Conquest and other game systems
Its all 28mm, and there's a few pics on the War & Conquest Facebook page as I can't work out how to post images off Facebook to here
Heres a link just drop it in your browser
https://www.facebook.com/War-Conquest-104021388266236
and scroll down to the pictures and information (if you also go to my own Facebook page there's even more background chat there )
I will be adding more pics and once I have located the pictures, more from back in 2000 and the 2002 games day which used the Perries collection off Egyptians and Hittites

Wow @Scarabminiatures, that's an big project. Much more ambitious than mine!
I have been stalled by the new border down the Irish Sea has been delaying all my orders from GB to NI for weeks at a time. So far, all I have managed is the prince and a few chariot horses! Soon though... soon.

Slow progress, much hampered by the delays at the new border as I've noted before. However, I have at least now got a few chariots up and running!

Nic
thats some nice brush work there and nice to see an Euruka model painted up, I don't have any of those.
I do seem to have multiple heroes in the collection though, I seem to have more Nestors than I know what to do with!
Heres one of the Trojan War Spear units - these will be Greeks plus an unbiased vignette for within the walls of troy
Over on the Facebook page I will be chatting about the planned scenarios soon, so if you have joined up and want to chip in with comments that would be great

@scarab, that is an impressive unit of spearman!
I am working on my first spear and bow unit at the moment. In the meantime, here are some posh blokes with axes. Also from Eureka.
