G18 'Hoplite with thigh armour and upper arm plates Thracian helmet crested'

 

This is another unit that has been lying around for ages. Not sure where the 'thigh armour and upper arms plates' are, but that's the written description!

Until I spotted and bought this lot I hadn't even realised the figure had been released - it's not in the 1972 catalogue. It didn't come with an officer or standard bearer so I cast them separately.

What I did have was a master figure that had lost it's spear hand. So the version I normally cast is a 'reclaimed' figure using a spear that is slightly longer than the original' Unpainted redone figure next to one of the bought figures.
