Foundry Trojan War Armored Warriors

Here are the remaining figures that were originally in David Sullivan's (I Live With Cats blog) collection. 16 armored warriors with smaller with smaller shields.

The spears are made from plastic broom bristles, which are not only sturdy, but lighter than metal spears which could make the figures topple over more easily.
The clothing and armor are quite accurate from the few historical sources available, which include frescoes and other period artwork.
I tried to use muted colors for the clothing, but they sort of appear pastel-like in color.
Below image is all of the figures together; 16 armored warriors, 8 spearmen with body shields, and 8 bowmen. As mentioned in a previous post, I plan to use them in skirmish games in memory and honor of David.
Here's a comparison shot with Redoubt figures (on square bases). As with the body shields, the Redoubt  shields are larger than the Foundry ones. Otherwise, the figures themselves fit together very well, IMO.
Thanks again for checking out the blog, and hope you all are doing well.
