Since I am visiting the Snow Lord in January I figured it would be a good idea to get the extra units done up and ready to take with me for a game with Curt and his crew. Hence, the first real units I am painting this year are for the Greeks (well some of the first units, I do suffer from Gamer ADHD so I am sure I will still pull a squirrel or two out of my hat before they are done).
Regardless, first up for the Greeks are some very simple archer units. These two units lack any real distinguishing colour features so that they can be teamed up onto whichever side needs them (or pays them) to fight for them.
The sculpts are from Foundry and while very basic do have a lot of character. They are based on 40x40 bases in loose formation to work with my Hail Caesar basing.
I hope to get at least one more large unit of Greeks done before mid-January and then it will be onto other projects.

Nice work Byron (I love the big sun hats)! As you say these will come in very handy in fleshing-out your existing collection of Hoplites. I very much look forward to seeing them first hand on the tabletop in a few short weeks!
A nice unit of light infantry there, well done.

Nice work Byron. There's nothing like a multipurpose unit or three!
ReplyDeleteGreat looking psiloi Byron - light troops are a key part of the hoplite army and yours are might fine. Looking forward to seeing these fine lads on table in the Queen City this winter. FYI I have an old (c1984) Hoplite Greek army if you are looking to add numbers to the table.
ReplyDeleteWhat would the Challenge be without your Greeks mate? Terribly well done these chaps, keep them coming.
ReplyDeleteVery nice indeed Byron!
ReplyDeleteNice work, Byron! You can really feel the hot Mediterranean air with the scorched basing and those nifty sunhats! ;)
