Amazon heavy infantry

The shield design is a variation of the stag I used on the heavy cavalry. The figures themselves are basically conversions of the S&S Range dancing slave girl with the spear arm and shield of a Garrison hoplite. The skirt is green stuff. Standard bearer is a slave girl with fan, all clothing is paint.

Again, armour is simply painted on.

I'm beginning to like the idea of the officer figure, spear and wearing a long skirt. That white mark on the skirt... looked on the figure and can't find it!

    1. Well, once the masters are made and then a mould made, simply a matter of casting, painting and basing. I've done things in the past that were far crazier. At the time, buying Garrison - just that that one turned out to be one of the best things I've ever done!

  4. A very fine unit, Rob. Nice pose on the spearwomen with the shield presented squarely towards the enemy. That white mark on the officer's skirt - think 'gloss paint'. You won't find that mark otherwise!

    1. Thank you. I get a lot of use out of some of the original '20mm' Ancients figures!
