Victrix Mercenary Hoplites - WIP +1

After touching them up and adding highlights, went ahead and based them. Still need to add their shield - once the Battle Flag decals arrive.

Took a little bit of effort to arrange them on account of the overarm spear poses of the first two ranks. Quite happy with them so far.

Just wanted to post this image for a quick update to show how nicely the stain worked on the linothorax. Adding a bit of white highlighting to the armor also makes the armor pop a bit. Anyway, thanks for stopping by and best wishes to you all.

  4. Lovely work in next to no time...I don't know how you do it Dean! I don't think I would fancy trying to retrofit the shields when the figures are already based though, sounds like a fiddly, irritating job to me !

    1. Hahaha, Thanks, Neil! So far, I've never painted up AWI or ACW - and I only recently (last year), got into ECW. And a lot of the local gamers are heavily into ACW (15mm Regimental Fire & Fury, I think). Oh, and I've shied away from Ancient Persians and Indians (guess my Macedonians will need some Republican Romans down the road). Thanks for stopping by and leaving such nice comments. Kindest regards, Dean

  13. BSNL 4G plans and February 2021 data offers available in the market for PAN India with new 4G APN settings for activation and new specific 4G plans introduced in circles as per the area netizen’s requirement and competition. As per today’s requirement, Combo offers is the most priority, so most BSNL 4G plans are introduced as a combo offer with Voice, net pack Data and SMS, but someone who is having BSNL prepaid plan subscription already, may requires only 4G data plans, for those, here we also present the latest specific BSNL 4G plans in the form of STV without combo offer.
