King Leonidas

Lots of different versions of the leader of the brave 300 floating around out there.  This one from Crocodile Games is probably a bit 'fantastic'.  Ive had him sitting around for over a year now, and Ive been afraid to tackle him because of the shield and the lion pelt.  I think he turned out pretty good though!

The Syracusan

28mm figured from Gorgon Studios.  The base was made from clay, painted, and then tufts of grass glued in to the spots in between the stones.

New camera

My mom gave me her 'old' camera. Its a Fuji 10mp. Thats all i know. Anyway, its a LOT better than the camera I have been using, at least for taking pictures of miniatures. Here are some new pictures of some old Spartans.

THIS IS SPARTA! Part 2.

I just completed a 'unit' of 15mm Xyston Spartans.  There are 16 foot soldiers, 1 mounted general, and 2 musicians (skin flute players).  They turned out aiiight - I definitely like the bigger models better (25/28mm is definitely more my style), but you can afford a lot more 15mm!

 

Current WIP - 15mm Spartans

Guess I got on a Spartan kick.  Anyway, here are 16 15mm Spartan minis Im working on.  I know the pics are bad - Ill get better ones when they are done.

and their shields:

Ive got a mounted Spartan general, as well as musicians, on the way. They will go with these guys.

THIS IS SPARTA!

Might as well restart my blog with some of my better minis...8 Spartans from Gorgon Studios. Probably my personal best paint job, please notice the 'gorgon' shield (all shields are hand painted)
