Over the next few days I'm going to post shots of the various Greek and Spartan commanders in my collection. The first one is King Agis.

Very nice! Spartan history is full of this love-hate relationiship with their Kings. Maybe they (royal family) should have been entered into the agoge as a child like the rest of the Spartans? :)

Nice work. Why ancient rules do you play?

Hi Mike,

I mostly play Command and Colors (Ancients). The rules are great for the Punic wars, but I'm a little doubtful about using these rules for hoplite battles.

Unfortunately my Spartans have barely been used. Although I have a good sized Spartan army, I don't have enough opponents for them. Maybe next year…

Thanks Hussarbob! I must ask Nick what he uses, I think he mostly favours Miniature Paints.

Simon, what figure company? Cheers Mike

Hi Mike, they are both Foundry World of the Greeks; a top range! In fact all things considered, my favorite range, because it is so large and the minis are so nice.

Simon,It is my favorite line also, that is why I have about 300 painted! Cheers Mike

Hi Mike, I think I have more WotGs painted than you, then. There's a first! I have 450-500 I reckon.
