Foundry Trojan War Spearmen w/Body Shields

Here are the guys with Tower and Figure-8 body shields. The shields are spare Redoubt models that I had from a while ago. Foundry body shields are slightly smaller, but very nice too. These figures didn't come with shields, and probably were javelin men. I gave them spears made from broom bristles, and are shorter than the earlier-period thrusting spears.



Image below shows them compared next to Redoubt figures (on squares), that have the longer two-handed thrusting spears. I added the Green Stuff horns and plumes to the Redoubt boar's tusks helmets.
Next up will be either the bowmen or armored warriors. Thanks again for checking out the blog, and hope you all are doing well.

  2. They are excellent additions Dean and I was happily surprised to see what a decent match they are with the Redoubt figures, who are generally the largest in any collection!

    1. Thanks, Keith. From what I understand, Redoubt's range came out first, and Foundry wanted theirs to match up with the former. Warmest regards, Dean

  4. Great work, Dean! Like you, I find the Redoubt and Foundry match up well with this range.

    1. Thanks, Jonathan! Yes, these two are the first ones to make this period. I've seen the few others, which look good on their own, but not sure if they match up as well as these two. Kindest regards, Dean
