…these have been quite a while coming; delayed due to a dearth of Dullcote.

Hi mate. They look good. I have some to do myself. Is that their historical shield design.

Hi, it's conjectured that they had T's on their shield; not proven, though, AFAIK. They might just have had Lamdas- but I have lots of Spartans with Lamdas alreay and fancied a change.

I'd like to do some Sicyonians and Messenes who also had lettered shields.

Cheers, Simon

Simon, what figure maker are they? Mike

Very nice indeed!

I came into some more Foundry Spartans at Historicon's flea market, and I'm tempted to go with Tegeans rather than yet more Spartan reinforcements for my existing army.

Hmm ---

Hi Mike- Foundry to a man!

Yes MJS, I already have too many Spartans and not enough opponents. At least these look just a little different- I mixed in a few non-pilos helmets and some colours on the linen armour.

Cheers, Simon

That's a nice unit! What shields did you use as substitutes for the originals?

LEGION 195028 Aug 2009 6:47 a.m. PST

Simon, lovely looking as always! Cheers Mike

Thanks Mike.

Hi Skeptic, I remove the original shields, with raised Lamdas, and substituted a mix of Foundry and Newline shields. I now have lots of spare painted and unpainted Foundry shields with Lamdas… could trade if anyone needs them.

Cheers, Simon
