SPARTANS! Ancient Greek Hoplite commission, 15mm Museum Miniatures Range 'Z'

"Can you paint me some hoplites?
"Sure."
"So, there are 300 of them..."
"Oooh, I see where you're going here."

THIS IS SPARTA!

Love the details on the shield.

Shield transfers arrived today to allow me to finish this lot off.

Bloke in the middle looks familiar, but the shield is wrong?

Tried to shade the cloaks so the part nearer the ground is darker

Slightly less clothing than is practical, they are going to be so burned by the end of the day!

Details of the map have nothing to do w M Goscinny or M Underzo, honest...

Warhammer Old World - Goblins vs Empire, Batlle of The Hilly Hill

But why are there more Empire 'ooomans than us then?" the Goblin Wolfrider capatin pondered. Mort and I met up for a game of Warhammer Old World. I chose my Goblins, with only 1000 points. This led to me taking a unit of spears, with the army standard, a unit of archers, a spear chucker and some wolf riders. A level 1 mage, my general on a giant squig and Stumpy Jason rounded out my selection. I was tooled up with magic standards and characters, so half my points were tied up in characters.

This is only a quick report, as we were haing too much of a laugh! Six objecties were scattered across the field, which you have to find and hold until the end of turn 5. One would go live on a roll of '6', if an action was expended on it. The others then are empty. Three sides means two corners and an edge. 450 points each. I was nearest, Dave the other corned, David the opposite edge.My standard warband took to the field, with their eyes firmly...
