The Syracusan army grows...I got another 10mm unit painted up this afternoon. It's pretty amazing how fast this scale paints up when you are used to 25/28mm. I think 10mm stuff really needs the momentum that comes from doing one and then having the next based and primed ready to go. I think in a couple of days I should have the core of 4 hoplite units done and ready to move on to the light infantry. I usually save the cavalry and generals till last.
This latest unit represents a body of levy hoplites so they are less well equipped with only a bronze helmet, greaves, and a bronze shield...no breastplate or such, so I just painted over the armor on the casting with the red color of the tunic...in the close up pics you can see the paint-over but on the table at this scale, hardly noticable... The shield blazon is derived from Syracusan coins of the period.
next up, a pair of regular hoplite units in bronze armor.
