Nice work on those.

Much appreciated! Looking forward to getting them on the table, but lots more to do first!

Really nice work! The colour scheme is great, might take this as inspiration!

Thanks! Glad you like them enough to maybe use the colour scheme! A unit of Thespians is next on the workbench..

It wasn't until relatively "late" where Hoplites started to have any "uniform" appearance, but who cares!  These look good.

Couldn't agree more! I knew when I decided that I was going to paint them in a uniform way, with a limited palette that it was very likely not 'correct', but I suppose watching all those old epic movies as a kid has had a lasting effect on me, and I just had to do it!!

I do have a fall back option though, that once I have the army painted, I could mix and match the miniatures from various units to give the likely more correct over all look to the army. Thinking about it at the moment, does make me sweat a bit though!!

Glad you like them for what they are!  :D

My next unit is based, and has spears and shields ready for undercoating...

28mm Thespian unit, here we go again!
