    Very nicely done! Hand painting all of those shields is slow work, as is adding all the detail to those Persians. The payoff is they do look lovely!

    Mark, hehehe... you crack me up :o) any time regarding to do battle with your Greeks. It will be a long march from Washington State to reach your realm, know as Minnesota...but having said that and knowing my luck Monty (who is also from Minnesota) will flank my forces or better still intercept my forces :o) with his Pontic Army.

    anyway... thanks for your kind words Mark,

    cheers,
