I did a search on them and found this page. Wonderful work sir. You've really showed them to their best advantage, to the extent that I think they have nothing to blush about in regards to holding up against their competitors.

I'd go with 28mm for larger games - if small 1:1 skirmish, you might try some of those pretty nice 54mm figures. Yes, Fitzgerald's is great for the nice translations of armor - like how Hektor's shield is described as touching the nape of his neck and ankles - clearly a body shield like a figure-8 or tower shield. Other translation don't describe them as accurately IMO.

For instance, on the spearmen (not pictured here), I tried to vary skin tones!
