Theban army - DBA II/5c

After the Athenians, here come the Thebans.  I always been fascinated by the story of the sacred band of Thebe. That's the reason why I decided to the have a Theban army in my collection. Hat figures may be not as good as the Zvezda ones I used for the Athenians, but I am sure those two elements of 8Sp will rock in battle.

Javelinmen and slingers (Ps)

Athenian army - DBA II/5b

Finally found time to take some pictures of the DBA armies I painted this year. Let's start with the Athenians. I used two Zvezda sets: 8005 Greek infantry and 8068 Spartans. Cv and Lh are by Newline Design. Never played them yet. I really look forward to seeing that array of shields lined up on the battlefields.

Archers (3Bw)

Achilles vs Hector

It's a duel that always fascinated me, since high school.  Then I bought the Zvezda boxes Spartan and Greek Infantry and got inspired. A small conversion of two figures (the arm holding the spear) and this is the result. I like it!
