It's all Greek to me

I am working on my Dead Man’s Hand for the SCC officially but a couple of weeks ago Footsore showed off the free miniature for spending more than £40 in May.

First off I think it’s a lovely mini. Secondly I’ve been meaning to pick up some metal figures for Mortal Gods for a while. Thirdly Will power is weak in this household.

I added a bunch of minis to my cart and went to check what I already owned to see if there was anything I was missing. The problem with that comes with is remembering that I bought the two player starter box and have built none of them. Not one.

So a mini project to clear an old project to justify buying more stuff for it.

As far as I know, the two player box is the only way to get a printed copy of the rules. Back when I bought the set, I had been wanting to buy just the Spartan bundle with some add ons but not being able to get the rules except as a PDF forced my hand.

The core box comes with 38 Victrix plastics

• 2 x Mercenary Hoplite frames (16 miniatures)
• 1 x Unarmored hoplite frames (8 miniatures)
• 1 x Peltast frame (8 miniatures)
• 3 x Mini archer frames (6 miniatures)

It is described as being suited to making two forces or one larger one. This is a game I bought because others at the club already play and have forces so these are all for me. I know I don’t want any of the plastics for the hero models so I just built everything to be a multibase option. The game has three models to a base; round for ranged and triangles for melee.
