Greek army completed!

Wow!
Doesn't time fly!


I was, originally, only going to post once month but now I have finished the hoplites I am ready to post. If you haven't painted anything like hoplites you won't know how it wears you down. 492 figures of hoplites painted. I also bought 2 stands of cavalry, 4 stands of Cretan archers and 4 stands of javelins to round up the army to around 216 points in the DBMM ( De Bellis Magistorum Militum) rules and army lists, if I nominate 2 elements as sub-generals.
There are 41 elements of Hoplites, 8 Psiloi (4 Bow & 4 Javelin) and 3 Cavalry.
Not as large as the Sassanian which is 494 points but par with the Classical Indian which is 214 points.
I also bought some figures for the Classical Indians to pair up the extra elephant and chariot I had, to make them into full elements. There was also 2 close order javelin to make those elements into 1/2 the total bow elements.

 

I now intend to paint as much of my lead pile as is possible, which has actually been shrinking despite buying these extra figures, in the next 3 months.

I will, though be trying to fit in a game of Hoplites v Indians to see how the armies cope under the stress of battle.
