Fantastic pile of opportunity there mate! I look forward to following you on this project as both the Hoplite and Persian armies are going to look fantastic once painted and on the battlefield 👍
Wow that is a lot of plastic! I have also been working on a similar "Victrix Greek Odyssey". What faction of Greeks are you planning to do? I originally bought all of the older Greek sets but didn't start them. Then the new Hoplite set came out and I used it alongside the Hypaspist kit to use the bodies and spears as you have done. I supplemented some of the older kits for parts. The Spartan kit is excellent for helmet variety (Pilos helmets) for example, plus you get shield aprons. I already have done my Persians, designed as an early Greco-Persian force as well as a later Macedonian opponent. If you would like to see I posted these on The Miniatures Pages Ancient Gallery under "Persian Conversion Excursion" (April this year).
I've got a lot of Greeks, so probably going to do some Athenians, some Spartans and some Corinthians to make use of the different helmet styles. Then I can do Greek vs. Greek as well.

Cheers mate. I spent some free time at work researching Greek wars all week, so another rabbit hole...

@@BattleMatt The Thebans are also an important Greek faction. They can even be allies to a Persian force.
