This week's submission has been in the lead pile for a long time. These are the first Greek Hoplites I have ever painted in over 50 years of wargaming and have come out OK. They are Old Glory figures that I purchased over 15 years ago when the figures were ridiculously good value, especially with a USD/GBP exchange rate, the Old. Glory army card discount and a stupidly cheap deal on.
Secondly here are some Hinchliffe ancient camels and camel riders. These can appear as a small Roman unit or even substitute for several other classic army’s that used camels.
30 Hoplites @ 5 pts = 150 plus 6 mounted @ 10 pts = 60 points.

Very nice to see a Challenger tackle a subject they have been waiting on for a long time. Brings to mind my constant pledges to paint some 28mm Romans. I mean, I'll get to it one of these days...

Made my day Greg - figures so old they are almost BC themselves, nice painting- intrigued by the shield details-are they original transfers?
