From ChrisP: "THIS IS POOCH!" 28mm Spartan Hoplite (5 points)

Sorry about the title - I really couldn't help myself.

Chris Pooch from New Zealand has sent in the forerunner for his upcoming Spartan army. 


This is a 28mm plastic model from Immortal Miniatures. I quite like the look of this fellow especially the 'man-sized' shield and the correct looking spear (dory, right?) with the rear spike.  I'll have to pick up some of these for myself.


As you can see Chris did a very nice job freehanding the Lambda on the shield. That being said, he'll probably loose his mind trying to replicate that on his whole force. Well, look on the bright side, Chris, at least they didn't pick  'Sparta Pwns U' as their shield device...


This chap will put Chris on the board with 5 points, but its 5 Spartan points which must worth at least 50 regular points, right? Right?  ;)

  1. Well 5 points is a start. I see a lot of the others with..... zero points!

    The figure is very well painted, and I got faith in it that he will manage to paint the shields all the same ;-)
