Yes they do, but if I buy them, it will be for WAB. By the time I finish painting the requisite hoplites, the other troops in the line will be ready!

They are indeed very nice, I have a sprue and have made up one figure to see how they go together (very easily in fact).

The sculpting & detailis very good, especially on the linothorax & pteruges, and follows a current trend in 28mm figures (esp plastics) towards true anatomical proportions - because of this the hands & heads look rather smaller than we're used to in traditional figures of this size, but once constructed they look right. Once painting is done I may try to post a photo, with a Warlord Games roman as comparison

How dare they only include 34 figs!

I agree with Phil. They have a more realistic form rather than the mutated mesomorphs we are treated to in 28's generally.

I can probably talk N. into doing a cool matched Early Hoppie fight after we finish our CWS project.
