This is an Athenian army I bought from Steve Jones and rebased (from single 20mm WAB stands to huge 180mm wide stands) for "To the Strongest!". Steve is a superb painter and I'll show some close-ups later this week. There's more about them on the blog:- link Best, Simon |

Looks very nice! What size units and basing is the norm for "Too the Strongest!"? |

Hi Noss, it is very much up to the player. In 28mm I have a big table and mostly play using 18cm wide units, but most people use 12cm wide units on a 6' by 4' table. This is a really convenient table size for quick games in an evening or at a tournament, and it doesn't require as many minis. In 15mm or smaller mini sizes, one can have units with more minis or play on a smaller table. Best, Simon |

Thanks Harry- they look almost like 6mm from a distance! ;-) |

Full props for hand painted shields! It all looks fabulous. |

Proper close ups over the next few days. Decorative borders on tunics, even! |

Very nice – but you need a bunch more of those hoplites! |
| BigRedBat | 02 Jul 2015 2:11 a.m. PST |
Yes… it's not easy to find really nicely painted hoplites, and even less easy to paint the blighters oneself! Luckily I already have three units, the above is the fourth and I have enough minis to base a fifth up when I have time. |

The masses psiloi look very good Simon – I do like the larger bases for skirmishers, will be using 160x40 for Hail Caesar. Have yet more hoplites to do – may send them away for painting if my speed does not improve! Garry |

Hi Garry, Greek hoplites (except Spartans*) are right up there with Celts in terms of minis I hate to paint. All the different colours, the shield designs, crests… Best Simon *The Spartans, on the other hand, designed their kit for the speed painters of the future- typical Lacedonian efficiency. |
