The revamp of our older Ancients ranges continues and this time we've got the eagerly anticipated Greeks and Persians!  As well as updating all of the sculpts, we've also spent a lot of time expanding these ranges to add extra infantry and cavalry types, especially for the Persians.  This gives many more options and also ticks off a few items on our request lists at the same time!  

As with the recent Dacians and Sarmatians we'd like to give huge thanks to Will Denham for helping us (and the sculptor!) with these ranges.

Don't forget that our price increase comes in at midnight on Saturday night, so if you fancy any of these, grab them before the prices go up!  We'll also have them with us at the York show on Sunday.

These look superb, well done to all involved! The only thing stopping me ordering them right now is the huge pile of my last order I've not had much chance to touch yet, but definitely going to be high up my list for future project.  :D

I shall certainly be getting some of these during 2020 and beyond.

I can't help but think that the scythed chariot looks a bit ungainly. I would, perhaps, remodel it.

Looks rather more sturdy than its predecessor. I like it.

Very nice! Sadly, my Ancients  are somewhere in a mound, with about 1/3 of the units completed.
However, I do remember doing my Spartans with 1st rank crested helms, 2nd rank un-crested and 3rd just helm and cloak. I did research it a bit at the time...though now, a LONG time ago! I lost interest as I found that the Immortals available at the time were in 'parade' dress and not combat armour...and I needed TOO MANY of them!  ;D

I've just had word from my bank.  They asked if you'd delay releasing these for say six months or so?
