Spartans!
« on: March 08, 2012, 05:19:58 PM »
Inspired a little more by 300 by Frank Miller (or the movie...) than by history, here are a few spartans from Crocodile games:


The Phalanx


The back of the Phalanx (which the enemy will NEVER see!)


The Heroes


The back of the Heroes.

Not a spartan, but another Greek of legend:


Perseus (from Reaper Miniatures)

Very nice Tim! I have that Leonidas, but the rest are very tempting to create a little warband.

Nice painting!

If you need more variety, the Bronze Age Greeks are the exact same scale as the Crocodile Games figs. Great stuff too!

Nice collection of Greeks!  :-*

I especially like the shields and weathering on the red cloaks.
