On the Painting Tray: October 2012

80 Garrison Hoplites.  I originally bought a load of these for next to nothing at Wappinshaw years ago, and gave them a basic paint job.  The intention was to make them different enough from my other Hoplites to be used as militia grade, but then I realised that there were enough for 5 units of 36 figures each.  So I then bought the same number again, this time directly from Garrison, and I've been painting those in fits and starts in between other things.  If I can finish this lot of 80, I'll have another 5 units of 36.  And that will give me enough to do the opposition for my other Greeks, if I ever need them for a clash between city states.

    Hi David, thanks for dropping by. I think it'll be over 600 by the time I finish this lot!

    Incidentally, it looks as though we will be able to put on a Chalons game at Carronade in May. The figures will be rather venerable, to put it politely, but it should be good for a laugh.

    Cheers
    Paul
