My first painted 28mm Ancient Greeks!

just lacking oomph to get started

Finally, some progress!

The first unit is wip, but coming together nicely. I'm really surprised at how quickly the unit comes together, which makes this grumpy, reluctant painter very happy!!

I will post when the unit is finished, which should be either today or tomorrow...

Come on Dave, I was expecting you to beat me to the starting post!!! 

[Dave Toone]

I just bought some of the WIP Spartans. Your painting really makes them come alive I can't wait to paint mine now!

Looking forward to seeing those!!

Making good progress. The command base looks excellent. I painted my hoplites in 6s. It feels more of a chore painting larger numbers for me.

[Dave Toone]

Thank you!

I tend to paint by the unit, unless of course it's a really big unit, which is why I chose to do Greeks, rather than Achaemenid Persians!!

A good start to your force.  Keep it up!

Thanks!

[Dave Toone]

Slower than expected, but progress is being made!

[Dave Toone]

I've finally found the time to finish this first unit of 28mm Greeks. They were pleasantly quick to paint, when I actually sat down and put the time in! Getting the second unit and their command stand ready now, and I expect to have these done a lot quicker! Progress as it happens

They look excellent  . Like the painted helmets. Never thought of doing that on mine 

[Dave Toone]

Thanks! If I was a better painter I might have put some checks on the painted helmets too, but I'm not, so I didn't!

Cool.  I like the colours.    The blue helmet on on of the hoplites looks really nice.

[Elk101]

Nice work on those.
