Very nice indeed - you didn't need shield transfers!!! 

You've already painted and based the first army in less than a week?....Blimey 

Like the labelling solution you came up with too.

Look forward to some BBDBA once a few more armies completed

It had the added bonus that I couldn't do the lawns

Borrow a few sheep....There must be someone near you who's got some.

I'm VERY impressed with the piccies*.... Top man !!

Cheers - Phil.

*Especially the speed you've got all those done.

Amazing work

[Leon]

Wow, that was quick!  Nice work!

[paulr]

They are really nice figures with lots of easy to paint details

I really enjoyed painting them and am looking forward to painting more of them for a few more of the armies

Little things like the step at the rim of the hoplite's shield really help when painting the bronze rim

Thanks Techno for these sculpts

[Techno]

Thanks.... You're more than welcome, Paul. 

Thanks again to Will, as well, for all his help sourcing piccies, and also to Nobby !
