Hoplite Reinforcements

My Hellenistic army dates from the middle 1980s and was probably the first serious army I put together (as in being metal, based on an army list, with the expectation of taking it to competitions etc).  The figures are all Tin Soldier and don't really allow for other figure manufacturers to blend in well.  So it goes.  I have a large stockpile and a few years back added more.  So it has grown more than it has shrunk (in part because I've switched from DBA to Impetus and figures I sourced to make DBA armies are not sufficient for Impetus).

Tonight I plan to field my Hoplite army and in making up the list saw I was a few hoplites short so I thought I would paint up a base specifically for Impetus.

 Done!
