| Only did a unit of 6 and based them as light infantry - not a troop type associated with Fantasy but then I'm not really following any set of rules/traditions slavishly anyway. They're not as 'weak' as they appear though - after all, Lybians were basically shieldless javelinmen. |

| Initial lot of 'proof of concept' figures finished with an addition. I've realised that the slimline Amazons fit in quite well with the slimline early Garrison figures - these are really 25mm themselves, I ONLY call them 20mm to distisinguish them from the later 25mm Ancient ranges. So the figure second from the left is a chimera utilising a Greek hoplite like the one standing next to it. |

| Still not sure which of these (if any) will make it to mould status though. All three have their advantages and disadvantages. Comments welcome! |
Looking good. I had a broken fam maiden and used a length of wire so she could still fan away but it doesn't look the same as a bendy old about to break piece of lead!
ReplyDeleteI think the javelin skirmisher has a good classical feel, especially if you could rustle up a crescent pelta.
ReplyDeleteCrescent shield not a problem - got some in my Rose spares box plus easy enough to take some off other figures.
DeleteThe Amazon made from a hoplite is nicer than the one made from a fan waving figure, in my opinion...
ReplyDeleteVariants of this are currently edging towards the favourite opton.
DeleteMust admit I like them all and they all have their place. Should make some nice units for your army,
ReplyDeleteAgreed!
DeleteI like the light javelin along with the 2-handed spear, though maybe she should have more of a polearm rather than a spear. A falx or Romphia maybe? The hoplite is good as well.
ReplyDeleteLots of options, limited space on moulds! As fo polearm, it's a simplicity thing - as it is, it does the job without adding any complexity! The 'newer' version based on the hoplite is a definite!
