Victrix Greek & Persian Wars Hoplites - WIP

Here's a quick update to the project. Added details to their linothorax, and also painted their plumes. Will go back over the armor to clean up the painting after doing the scabbard and baldric. They look a bit gaudy colored, but the Minwax staining should tone them down a bit - although I think the Ancient Greeks loved "loud" colors.

    1. Thanks, Michal! The LBMS shield transfers are very nice, however, there was some wrinkling on the edges. Not too noticeable to the naked eye. Warmest regards, Dean

    1. Thanks, Richard! The Minwax did it's job again; although some of the smaller details - like the eyes inside of the Corinthian helmets got a bit obscured. Warmest regards, Dean

    1. Thanks, Aaron! I was thinking of using them against some Epirote pikes in a Battle of Argos scenario Granted, they are armored in earlier fashion, but should be okay. Kindest regards, Dean

    1. Thanks, Keith! The Minwax helped to define a lot of the details, however, the small eyelets of the Corinthian helmets got a bit obscured by the stain. That's okay, since I wasn't going to paint eyes inside of them anyway. Warmest regards, Dean
