Thank you for a thorough review. it is another good looking kit from Victrix but I would have preferred all six figures to have been posed similar to figures B3 and B4 with left foot forward and left shoulder leaning forward, to rank up closely in a phalanx.
Awesome video thanks for taking the time. I have a good idea of what to expect now. Great shout about my question ! I placed an order for a set of the new Greek Hoplites, as well as some of their EIR infantry to test out, plus some cav, because I wanted a Parthian shot pose horse archer. I’ll come back here for reference when my kits arrive :) if I like the Greeks I will definitely get a sprue or box of the Spartans to mix and match even if it’s just for the heads and weapons, wish there were more cloaks in that kit.
Wondering how the hell you painted the shields! I would consider selling your creations, cause I’ve considered paying for them! Excellent channel my man, have seen a couple of these vids suggested to me here and there. I’m a hobbyist but never ventured into this realm, I greatly appreciate your depth of work
Thanks mate. The shields have transfers. In some cases I " augment them" a bit ie w painting patterns on the rims etc. If you're serious re buying some of my minis I'm interested as I'm running out of bookcase room !😅
based w Vallejo Tinny Tin, then AP quickshade flesh wash then light dry brush Vallejo gold. Actually I'm doing a bronze armour video next to show some methods.
Those Hoplites look amazing . Well painted .
@@Davy.J.Y Thanks. They're top minis

Most beautiful hoplites, wonderful painting and basing!👍👍
Well reviewed. The figure you made of an archer with a Corinthian helmet epitomizes the rule of cool.
Thanks. I like him too !
Those look glorious! Beautiful paint and basing jobs

Good plan. Making cloaks out of green stuff is not too hard. Have you tried that? There's heaps of UA-cam tutorials on the subject if you require.
@@greatsouthernancientminiat8812 I haven’t tried that but good suggestion. That could be fun to try my hand at !
Looks cool. 🏇

Painting video! Painting Video!! PAINTING VIDEO!!!
@@ernestorodriguez3637 are you requesting I do one ?
@@greatsouthernancientminiat8812 yes!
@@ernestorodriguez3637 I'll do one soonish. Got to improve my methods a bit first.
what do you use to pour linothorax on hoplites? I'm afraid if you make it white and shed shadow it will turn out gray
I paint w a bright white then wash with citadel "Apothecary White"
@@greatsouthernancientminiat8812 Thanks, don't you think the linothorax is turning grey? maybe it would be better to use a light gray color?

what color did you use for the helmets?

thank you, I’ll wait for the video since I’ll be painting bronze myself, but I can’t decide on its shade
😌 'promosm'
nope. Paid for this kit 100%. :(
