Allied Greeks for Adepticon

[mikebutcher]

Here are some pictures of my 2000 points of AoA Greeks for Adepticon:

Oracle tracker, special thanks to Gordon for the help with vignette figures (via trade)! However, an 11 in oracle points was not to come my way



Battle Line - I really do not have a way here at home to shoot the whole army at once very well, but you get the idea...



Samian Hoplites



Spartans and General NO Sacred Band



Tegean Hoplite Unit 1



Tegean Hoplite Unit 2



Some of the 6 units of skirmishers:





Some more of the line:





Well, played my first 6 games of WAB (3 singles/3 doubles), managed 2 wins and a draw with the Greeks against Republican Romans (Irv), British Warbands (Bennett), and Indians (Mike) and best sportsman! It's easy to be a good sport when your having a blast, I haven't had that much fun wargaming in a long, long time.

Now for next year...

Awesome. I thought this was seriously my favorite army in the tournament. Mike, you continue to impress as one of the best army painters in business today. You wanna join me in doing some Etruscans for 2011?

An absolute joy to view Mike. I really like the finished look of the Samian Hoplites.

Thanks!

The Shields are Little Big Men transfers, painted in then varnished and glazed a couple of times to smooth everything out.

The figures are a mix of:
Gorgon Miniatures (Spartans, Peltasts, Archers, musicians, with a couple of Etruscans as unit leaders)
Black Tree Design (Hoplites)
Foundry (all the Javelin troops, some un-armored hoplites mixed in the peltast units)
Wargames Factory (Slingers, used the plastic numidians for them, I did shorten the necks a bit, completely changes the look IMHO)

That's a splendid army! My favourites are the Samians.

I don't know how well you play or how lucky you may be, but, you deserve to get 12 Oracle points as this painting is excellent!

Love this army .

It was great to see you return to AdeptiCon .. and made even better by seeing you on the WAB side of the house. The overal quality of the armies in both WAB events was extremely high.

Between yours, Welte, Bennett, Pauwel, Welling, and Loomis stuff .. outstanding .. and some of the best work at the convention which speaks volumes.
