I don't have any spares, but wonder how the two makes size up? Are GB bigger, no?

Will these be mounted in phalangial blocks, close together? I noticed that on your last posting the hoplites would be spread out as their round bases would not permit shields to overlap.
I wish you well in this endeavor. It is always a visual stunner to have really large blocks of figures set up to play out a battle.

Hi Dean, I'm delighted to report that they are a perfect match in both height and style, being from the same sculptor, Steve Saleh, at the peak of his craft.

CC, these will be packed very closely indeed- look out tomorrow for photos of the hoplites who are now removed from their round painting bases and based up, cheek to jowel, on 15mm frontage!

Hi Paul, 528, although I may have to borrow some as the timescale is tight!

Cheers, Simon

528!!!!! and there was I thinking putting 50 medievals into a spear block was a lot!!! I´ve got 5 greek and macedonian phalanxes of 48 figs per block (1/72nd) and put together it looks a lot but that´s less than half what yours will be!!! I really can´t wait to see this one come together...

Well that's the plan, anyhow, Paul. ;-)

I look forward to seeing more of these, Simon.

I was a bit surprised to hear of your problem with the Army Painter primer though. I've been satisfied with it, although the greenish shade did finish smoother for me than the white.

Regards,
Steve

Hi Corporal, I've had trouble with 3 or 4 different cans, mostly tans and browns, which seem to have especially poor coverage on metal in weather conditions where my other primers work fine. I've been reduced to stripping the minis. :-(
