Keep going, on both the painting and the videos. Its intriguing to see an army project that might not be gamed with. So much of my work is focused on what's needed for the next game.

Glad you are getting back into painting, just take it slow and don't burn yourself out! Honestly, I don't mind the gaps on Alexander (at least the front one) as it gives a sense of movement on the armor... the horse reared up and the armor looked lifted up as well. I am also a sucker for doing the same fig unmounted. I did that for my Emperor's Children Heresy army with the same Captain on a bike, jump pack, and foot (even used the same head for Terminator armor). But that looks to be a lot of work and bits so up to you. As for the pelt on the horse, would it have just been easier to use a horse with a pelt and pin/green stuff the back legs to have it reared up? I guess you can just green stuff the pelt too, but it depends on how confident you are in your modeling. As for the silver shields, I kind of wish you have an example of the shield you want to use to compare it to the decal. If you are able to get the paint color to match and they are also round, maybe center the decal? Also, doesn't Citadel have pretty much a chrome metallic paint? You might be able to get that armor and shields down right reflective! Then, if it is that shiny, maybe they don't need decals! Not going to lie, but I hope your elephant kit didn't mess up and give you two of the same sprue of the elephant bodies, as they looked exactly the same (so you have 6 right sides and 0 left sides). If that is the case, maybe see if you can get 2 left sides to make 6 Elephants? I don't know, maybe I am wrong. If you have extra Greek bodies for the towers or you can mix in the Numidian bodies with Greek heads? Maybe it is just me, but I just hate wasting plastic and perfectly good figs.... either that or you have a head start to the opposing army and them having elephants. Keep up the good work and keep at it mate!

great inspiration

Absolutely fantastic love your vids!! ❤

amazing :)

Great job!

These are awesome. Where are the heads from?

Awesome Victrix miniatures Kitbash!!

Superb details!

Good to see you back! Great looking miniatures! Just picked up some Victrix miniatures myself after seeing your channel. Got some Vikings and Normans miniatures and just started putting them together this week!

Very nice figures 👍

I'm now in my seventies and have long experienced nose bleeds, headaches and most recently toothache caused by a sinus infection. The penny dropped this year when I heard another RUclipsr talking about similar problems. His problem and mine, and possibly your own, has been caused by chronic exposure to fumes, particularly from glues and varnish. I now wear a mask/ventilator when spray varnishing and it seems to be helping. I wouldn't wear it for painting as this would be impractical but would consider doing so if I used an air spray. I'm also guilty of keeping the windows closed whereas a well ventilated room is advisable. Maybe this would help to keep your nosebleeds at bay?

First class presentation...and figures, cracking job!!

Yay! Glad to see you are back mate. Those are some flashy Macedonians. I love the white contrast against the bronze/gold.

Wow... been awhile! Hope you are feeling better! Burn out does suck, so it can be really good to take a break and get that desire back into you. Look forward to your up-coming videos!

I just started 40k last week, and I also started a Praetorian Guard army, Lot of kit bashing and 3D prints lol

Superbly painted and based! Good job. Just became aware of your channel. I was searching for Oathmark models and other non games workshops sculpts in order to create an old school High Elf army.

As far as my knowledge can go, their wasn' t any uniformity in hoplites on the field. Except some battles during the Péloponnèsian wars but it concern only the shields....and we have few evidences.

Hey buddy, hope to see more videos again soon, been awhile! I was happily hobbying along with your progress on my own greeks. Hope you find time for more soon. :) Great videos thus far tho!

If and only if you want historical accuracy, ditch the banner and get a double aulos player from the Spartan pack. I can't say they didn't use standards or flags, but there is no evidence that they did.

They use the Christian time frame but use the nonsensical "current and before current secular agenda narrative dating system", what happened? did they also drink from the poisoned chalice? loose 2 stars for that.

They're coming along not sloppy which can happen when painting a large 28mil battle force ! Good idea flipping the sheilds, and those from the mountains !😊

Looking good buddy!

LEFT stands out when the greeks are on a shelf or a games surface. Brad Pitt was Achilles a greek in the movie as troy was before everything. Keep up the good work and hope you keep going and try to avoid necron painters boredom!

Leonidas was an old man by the time of the 300 fame he was aged around 60 and was made commander because of the Spartans experience so your command group show him as a younger man who watched the back of his chosen older warrior. The actual truth isn't as the movies show as a child sould be trained by an experienced warrior as a lover. Great figures i like the ancient armies by that company! Six thousand greeks stood together in the real time of 300 who covered the regreat of many others only with them remained in their low hundreds but it may have been more greeks all on foot ! You'd need a team to paint that many greeks and good luck who ever wants to paint Persians! 😊🙊🙉🙈

I like your painted togas and your bases look good too with having the ability to take individual men out of the multi

Liked the way the slingers came out...would like to see how you did them...great job...

Тяжелые гоплиты на конях????это фэнтези))))

cool

Very nice models 👍🏻

Fantastic figures, just subbed

You could try using bluestuff and milliput/greenstuff to make more cloaks.

Very cool ! 👍🏻

Something you could do if you want a little contrast to your Spartan Cav is add white stripes to the crests. I also really like the addition now by Victrix of the banner and how the shield transfers also have a banner transfer matching those shields. Did the banner transfer sheet have maybe different colored versions of the banner transfer with the shields? I wonder if you could contact Victrix to see if you can get bitz from them. I am sure they probably have bad sprues that they might normally throw away or recycle that might have perfectly good capes or the like... that or 3D print them. Because yeah, I can see the frustration of wanting to do Spartans with capes and just not having enough capes.

Great work!!!! Peloponnesian wars!!! And next time Macedonians!!! With corintyan helmets!!! Immagine:):)

Minis look amazing! Basing done real good too! Looks fab ❤

Love this video. I like the start and the music. Do you make the music yourself? Love that there are 12 parts already. I bet you've learnt more things as you've built and painted them!

A man after my own heart. Basically got all the same kits I did. The Hypaspists are really cool I love those Crescent crests.

I wish Victrix had made a more varied version for the Phalangites as they are rather "at rest" and the Hypaspists are equally static looking. You could easily use the newer Hoplite set and add Macedonian helmets and shield transfers to make more dynamic Hypaspists. I have completed my own Macedonian army and posted on The Miniature Page Ancient Gallery under "My Pokey-Man Collection" if you would like to see. I used Warlord's Phalangites to create the angled sarissa effect which is what we see in the movie. The movie costumes are good and look fine but they do no depict the best thing about the Macedonians which is their colourfully painted helmets and armour. This is something which looks great on the tabletop as a distinct feature. So maybe if you do an elite phalanx (like the Silver Shields) you could introduce these coloured elements.

They look great project really coming together well

They look so cool

Excellent painting and basing, top notch Spartans!

those shileds from Ellie Oddities are cool. I've got them too.

Which of the Victrix Hoplites did you use for the Thespians?

They look superb

Mystery unboxing . Cool. Like the red saddle cloths. I'll have to try doing some of them. Re Athenias I've also found a splash or red here and there looks great. Keep the videos coming. I'm enjoying them.

Wow, truly superb!! I especially like the horses, skin tones ... and shields!😍😍👍👍

I wish I knew more on the history and what was done historically for a better guideline to suggest. If you are not completely happy with your phalanx Athenians, I could see adding white stripes to some or even all of the crests. If there is a leader of some sort for each line, even in your head, give them Red and White (or just give them the Blue and White and leave the others Blue). The over all commander, I could see all Red or all Blue. A tri-color is an idea, going Red, White, And Blue, or Black, White, and Blue... even Black, White, and Red. I would do some test runs to see if you like it. Or do something like White every other and then do the other colors... again, not sure how it would look and if you would like it or not. I do think your cav turned out great, as painting horses can be very difficult.

Hercules is the Roman name, Heracles is the Greek name, so I've always assumed Heracles was the correct way to say it

Can you say what Blues you used? Especially on the Hoplites, I'd like to paint some of mine as Athenians
