Ah...err...correction incoming.
What has happened here is that this list has been developed using the as-yet unreleased second edition rules.
I'll issue a corrected 1st ed version asap.
Cool

Well, I've got it all wrong. My army is going to be 4 "legions". Each legion will be 2 x 36 figure hoplite units, plus 1 x 36 figure Iphicratean hoplite (peltast). Here I have a full unit of the lighter troops, plus a half of one of the "proper" hoplites. (I'm sticking decals on the shield of the others in the unit.)
I've upgraded a couple of the warriors' shields to something a between a pelta and an aspis.
Also seen are a couple of troops of witches. I have a view that they will have the stone head (don't know how they move it around with them) but if they pray really, really hard, it can take the form of the goddess.
I'm pondering giving the lighter troops a javelin ability - just to get some missile troops onto the mix.
Was also pondering adding a chariot or two. :-\ It's for an "of Gods and Mortals" type game.
Looks great fsn!
FYI, the corrected list is now available.

Have you seen Zardoz?
Those look really good fsn, I like the idea of the two separate heads :-bd
Did you manage to solve your Amazon horse cavalry dilemma in the end?
Yes he did ! :D
He's paying me to make some.
(They're all but done now !)
:-bd

Also some unarmoured skirmishers - javelins, slingers and archers. :)

Which is the correct response to any mention of Zardoz

Not yet...
Currently on getting the art done for it.

First "legion" done. :) The "Red" legion. Starting the second the "blue" legion. Also going to do a yellow and a black. Thinking of naming them "Fire", "Water", "Sun" and "Night" or something more romantic than just the colour.
Lovely figures to paint :) , even getting quite good at putting on the shield decals.
Those look great!
If you name things after "Fire" or "Sun" then I get - horrible stereotyping alert - a real East Asian vibe. i.e. there's a Japanese/Chinese/Korean influence somewhere. Probably from watching too much Avatar: The Last Airbender.
But I appreciate that that's a "me" problem.
Thanks. Just put me off those names. >:( :P
Plan b is Amazon Queen names - but I'll never remember them. What colour is Hippolyta?
Plan c would be the shield emblems - but the red and the blue are both going to be horse based
Plan d is just to use the shield colour - red, blue, yellow, black
Plan e would be goddess names - is Hera red? Or yellow?
Actually some research would suggest that Aphrodite - red, pink, seafoam green; Artemis white or green, Athene - royal blue, white, grey, yellow, red; Hera - purple, dark green, royal blue, silver, white, gold. So pretty much whatever.
OK ... red - Aphrodite's Avengers; blue - Athene's Aegis-bearers ; Purple - Hera's Heroines; Green Artemis's Ares-kickers
Those look terrific Nobby. :-bd

Plan f replace Artemis with Eris, Goddess of Strife whose colour was black.
Light troops can be dedicated to Artemis, and wear green.
Seems more appropriate.

Great work on these - and very speedy too - they were only announced a month ago!
Thank you.
I have been keenly awaiting their appearance. I may have mentioned it once or twice. :-[
Also, I took this week off work so had plenty time to paint. :)
I do think I recall the odd mention of Amazons, not more than once or twice a week ;)
If you painted them last week, you were doing well not to have the paint dry on your brush.

Amazons so far - 4 x 72 hoplite units - dedicated to Aphrodite, Hera, Athene and Eris (who popped down from Olympus to have a gander, but respectfully kept behind the fences). Each hoplite unit has a 36 strong peltast unit attached, and some priestesses giving spiritual comfort.
Hoping to add Artemis's skirmishers and mayhap some cavalry dedicated to Demeter at some point.
The look ace!
And some really quick progress too
Absolutely terrific, Nobby ! :-bd :-bd :-bd
Top work!
More photos please 🙏
