“[Europa] bare sons to the almighty Son of Kronos [Zeus], glorious leaders of wealthy men - Minos the ruler, and just Rhadamanthys and noble Sarpedon the blameless and strong."
Hesiod, Catalogues of Women Fragment 19A (Oxyrhynchus Papyri)
I'm delighted to be able to show off my completed Minoan army for L'Art de la Guerre (198 points), started back in September last year. For me, that is a pretty quick turn around, and I have to say, I'm rather pleased with the completed force. Whether they are any good in battle is a whole other issue. 😕
All figures are from Rapier Miniatures except for Minos himself (Perfect Six Miniatures), and the civilians in the camp (Baccus Miniatures).

The heavy division made up of heavy spearmen with pavises and missile support, along with a veritable swarm of skirmishing archers and slingers.

Superb, truly superb!
