Oathmark Odyssey part four: Spartans

 The Spartan Hoplites box from Immortal Miniatures.

Those were the days when a box of figures cost £12.
Again the box says 24 figures, but there are at least three Ancient Greek sprues and four of the Spartan Hoplite sprues. Again, the count is probably ignoring the Bell Cuirass figures on the Ancient Greek sprues and counting only the available shields.


There is a decal sheet with the distinctive Spartan Lambda.
There is a booklet describing the Spartans and their equipment and colour schemes.
I have not assembled any hoplites, but I have assembled one as a Warrior for Oathmark. This uses the Muscle Cuirass and the Pilos helmet from the Spartan sprue and the Xiphos arm.


This is the only book I can currently find on the Ancient Greeks, though I should have a DBA rulebook and the WRG army list (volume 1) somewhere.
