Expeditionary Force: Very pleased to inform you of the release of three new sets as follows:-
• 60 GRK 01-G Psiloi (Magna Graecia) – Archers & Slingers @ USD 35.00
• 60 GRK 02-G Mercenary Peltasts (Javeliners) @ USD 35.00
• 60 GRK 03-G Mercenary Hoplites (Unarmored) @ USD 35.00
All models are supplied unpainted.
Available for immediate shipping.
These sets were scheduled for release in March 2024.
Some errors in the toolings have resulted in some re-work and thus the delay of a couple of weeks.
The box-set contains 9 model soldiers comprising of 1 officer, 4 archers and 4 slingers. Psiloi are skirmishers primarily armed to engage in missile combat. They are unarmored and needed to be light weighted for greater mobility. The Officer wears the crested helmet as a mark of status.
This set is meant to replace our previous set 60 GRK 01 R which has been out of stock for many months. 60 GRK 01 R will no longer be produced. The models in that set can still be purchased in our white plastic series 60 GRK 01 W. In our previous set 60 GRK 01 R, the models are based on the Cretan Archer and Rhodian slinger. They are the most famous Psiloi of Classical Greece. The Cretan is armed with sword and shield in addition to their main weapon, the bow. They are thus capable of shock combat. The Rhodian is depicted as wearing the Petasos sun hat and with a slung bag for the slingshots. As well-paid soldiers, they would have armed themselves with a sword or kopis for self-defence.
The box-set contains 9 model soldiers comprising of 1 officer and 8 javelin-throwers with extra arm options for wielding light spear or sword. The Peltast is armed for shock combat in addition to their skirmishing role. This set is meant to replace our previous set 60 GRK 02 R which has been out of stock for many months. 60 GRK 02 R will no longer be produced. The models in that set can still be purchased in our white plastic series 60 GRK 02 W.
The box-set contains 9 model soldiers comprising of 1 officer and 8 hoplites. Mercenary hoplites are often unarmored for greater mobility and flexibility in combat roles. Four types of helmets are provided in the set: Thracian, Chalcidian, Phrygian and Pilos. By the time of the Peloponnesian War, the Corinthian helmet has evolved into the Chalcidian helmet. This set provides models especially suited for the later period of Classical Greece. The feather plumes of the helmet is a popular accessory in Magna Graecia.
