I forgot to mention that these look like nice figures, without hundreds of metal 25mm ones already, I would collect plastic. Painted up on, the table, is there a difference between lead and plastic? Price does make an impact on buyers. If lead and plastic were the same, I would probably go with lead, quality being equal.

Allen, my first response was to the comment about number of minis on the table, not to elements in armies. You do agree that the basic game starts with 24 stands on the board.

The new set of plastic figures from Immortal Miniatures, The Spartans, are in stock at North Star right now.

This what Steve May, the designer, has to say about them:

Plastic Spartan Hoplites
This box contains 24 hard-plastic hoplites, bases and new waterslide transfers. This set is priced at £12.00 GBP.
The main frame of figures is the same as the Ancient Greek Hoplites set, but included is a new frame with new bodies (later bronze armor and unarmored with exposed shoulder) and a variety of Spartan heads (beards and no mustaches!) and swords. Although it is not certain that the Pilos was the only helmet worn by the Spartans, it was obviously common in the army.
