15mm Greek Hoplites

For the past two weeks, and I have been working on a Macedonian army in 15mm.  It's one of the Old Glory FoG starter armies that I bought three years ago.  So far I have finished two units of phalangites (32 men each) and this unit of 32 hoplites.




I like the Old Glory figures very much.  The spears are piano wire, supplied by Old Glory with the figures.  I drilled out the hands with my Dremel, so these should be reasonably sturdy figures.  Bases are Litko, of course.  I hand painted the shields.

  2. Looking really, really good! You have captured the feel and looks of a phalanx quite perfectly.

    If only I could bring myself to paint up the two DBA-sized hoplite armies lying around for ages…

  5. Love the way that these look.
    Great painting (as always), and a realistic feel of more figures on a base.
