I am looking for a nice Greek historian or scholar figure in 28mm to represent Sosylos, the Greek historian that traveled with Hannibal during the second Punic War. This will be used on a command base. I know Warlord has a box of 'Greek citizens' that could potentially work, but I'm looking for something a bit less generic (and and a little more "stately". Anybody have any suggestions? Thanks,

When I wanted to paint a Greek philosopher-type for a friend who is a professor of classics, I used the guy with the cane and floppy hat in the Warlord Greek citizens set that you mention:
He looks appropriately unconcerned about his appearance, which pretty much describes every college professor and historian that I've known. :) For a more noble figure, I like that Foundry balding Roman that Huscarle linked to. |
