ProjectTROY - 28mm Amazons

The final pieces for this stage of ProjectTROY are a dynamic unit of Amazon warriors and a Trojan priest. The Amazon figures are from Lucid Eye and were an absolute joy to paint with crisp detail and plenty of variation (although the standard bearer is a converted sword-wielder with a standard from CP Models). The armour is very much Aegean-inspired rather than Classical and that suited the aesthetic I was after. The unit did cost about the same as the rest of my army put together, so they're not to be bought lightly.

Height-wise, they would be on par with Eureka's Bronze Age Greeks, but the ladies all appear to have passed the (stereotyped) air hostess entrance exams as they are all very slender and conform to the same body shape. Due to the dynamic poses, I could only get five onto a 60x40mm base, but they really fill it. 

Like their Trojan peers, the Amazons have been built to serve as a unit of three formed (or elite?) companies with shieldwall, long spears and mixed shooting in Fantastic Battles. For l'Art de la Guerre they count as three units of heavy spearmen with pavises and missle supports, and should they be used in Hail Caesar I think they count as a single unit of medium spearment with long spears and a weak shooting attack.

My Trojan priest is from Redoubt Enterprises. He is actually sold as King Priam, but I throught he looked priestly enough for my purposes. 

Hopefully I'll get a chance to do some full army shots in the very near future.
