Another Spartan



I've decided to paint one of each of the new Artizan Spartans I ordered so now have two hoplites finished and two more nearly ready.
These are Persian Wars era Spartans so I have decided to paint them with plain bronze shields and simple shield blazons. I've decided to paint these rather than use transfers as I want the backgrounds of the shields to reamain bronze rather than painted. I will use the painted backgrounds and, therefore, transfers, for other Greek city states.
The spears are Gripping Beast. They are a little fat but I like the way I can carve the end to form the bronze butt at the base of the spear.
These really are very easy figures to paint, even for me!
