Still drumming my fingers waiting for 'Hail Caesar' to make its appearance. Thought I'd ease my impatience by unpacking some more 'sword and sandal' stuff from our move. Here are a few test models I did of some ancient Greek hoplites. I remember I had just finished reading Steven Pressfield's superb 'Gates of Fire' and was completely stoked to paint hoplites.
These are from the excellent Foundry range of models that were sculpted by Steve Saleh. I really like the animation of Saleh's work, even though the shields seem somewhat small to me. Hmm, that reminds me, I need to get some transfers on those shields...
Now that I'm looking at them again I think I'll do up a few more along with some helots for a skirmish game scenario I have knocking around in my head. More on that later if anything comes of it.
Very nice work!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Phil. One day I need to crack on with some more of these. Perhaps the SAGA system could be expanded to Ancients and Classicals - that would be cool as you wouldn't need a zillion figures.
