Greeks and Assyrians and Egyptians...

Or, recent purchase of unpainted figures from Harry.

Didn't want to post anything until I'd painted some of them - now done.
S Range Greek hoplites. I'm losing count of the different S Range Greek hoplites types there are considering how few there are supposed to be.

I'm using them for the Atlantean army and going for 3 16 strong units - mainly because the original Atlantean army already has a 16 strong/4 element pike unit. Actually I used to field my pikes in this size unit with my Macedonians - very flexible. Sea theme of course - this lot are supposed to be octopii. Or octopuses. Whatever. Like these, must do more hoplite shields using this motif.

This lot are supposed to be turtles... can't say I consider this to be a success...

And this was the first unit painted. In retrospect, would have preferred to use crabs for the design.

Another Pharaoh's chariot. I have a few of these. May need to dip it in Dettol for a while.

These came with those fantastic tin plate Assyrian chariots. I don't expect to use them with those though - lots and lots of uses for chariot horses.

Another thing you can never have too many of(?)... Spartans. 
Plus lots of other assorted Greek, Assyrian and Egyptian infantry.

  1. Rob I love the chariot horses. You must at least make and paint one set for the tin plate chariots.

    1. I might. The chariot horse is the standard Minifigs horse - they appear in my Persian, Egyptian and Assyrian armies - I think some are still with the Indians as well - so lots already in service. Might do one of the chariots, don't know.
