![]() ![]() The Hail Caesar suggested base width for a standard unit of 28mm figures is 160mm but these rules are very flexible, the only hard rule being that the base width for a small unit is half as wide as a standard unit. ![]() LADG recommends 60mm base width for figures 20mm to 25mm and 80mm base width for figures over 25mm (DBA base width is 60mm for figures 20mm to 28mm).īased on what I have read online most LADG players are sticking with 60mm base width for 28mm figures and I decided to do the same that way these units can also be used for Impetus which uses 120mm base width for a unit of 28mm figures. The recommended number of figures per base is the same as DBA to make it easy to identify troop type, so four figures per base for spear armed heavy infantry (two ranks deep in LADG). Units in L’Art de la Guerre (LADG) correspond to a single base in DBA with the exception of Heavy and Medium infantry which are two DBA bases combined one behind the other. I don’t intend on playing DBx games, there is another set of rules that uses DBx basing that I intend to play called L’Art de la Guerre. First of all, I rebased the figures in the original post that were mounted on three 40mm square bases to two 60mm x 40mm bases so that the individual bases are now compatible with DBx. I’m back with some updates to this project. I have more units to be painted but they’ll have to wait as I’m feeling the urge to return to the One True Scale (1/72). Side views of the figures – I really enjoyed painting them, nice details but not too much detail. I highly recommend VMA metallic paints, these pictures are close ups so the finish looks a little grainy but in reality these metallic paints have a smooth finish and do not look “glittery” like most acrylic metallic paints. For the bronze I used Vallejo Model Air Bright Brass mixed with VMA Silver for highlights. I have a box of each so I have mixed in some of the heads from the Classical box as I’m modelling them for the Peloponnesian Wars.Ĭlose ups of a couple of the bases in direct sunlight to give a better sense of the colors. ![]() All three boxes share the same main sprue with smaller sprues with alternate heads and a pair of bodies that are unique to each box. The Warlord Greek Hoplites (which were originally Immortal Miniatures before being sold to WG) come in three boxes, Ancient Greek (Early 5th Century / Persian Wars), Classical Greek (Middle to Late 5th Century / Peloponnesian Wars) and Spartans (Middle to Late 5th Century / Peloponnesian Wars). I’ve based 4 figures on a 40mm square base, 3 bases for a standard Impetus unit (120mm frontage) or I can add a fourth base to create a standard size 2 deep infantry unit for Hail Caesar. Glue and paints not included.Here are pictures of my latest project – Warlord Games Ancient Greek Hoplites. Models are supplied unassembled and unpainted. ![]() Two arrow sprues, ideal for decorating the shields and bases, are also included. This box contains 42 hard plastic multi-part 28mm figures 25 in linen armour, 10 unarmoured, 5 in bronze armour, 1 piper and 1 optional command model and a sheet of full-colour waterslide shield transfers. These figures can be used to represent the armies of the Greek city states and the mercenaries that fought abroad from the mid-6th century to the 4th century BC. The front ranks were reserved for the wealthiest, and therefore best-equipped, men where they hoped to perform heroic deeds in their rich panoply, while the poorer labourers and farmers arguably those most suited to fighting took their place behind. The hoplite phalanx was one of the most formidable fighting formations of the ancient world, enabling the Greeks to dominate the battlefields of their homelands and much of the Near East for hundreds of years.Įach hoplite was equipped with the best armour and equipment he could afford, which often gave the phalanx a rag-tag appearance. ![]()
