Well they are Conte 60mm, who would match them against, the K&C Romans?

Well the CTS Punic figs are pushing the 60mm mark so i would have no problem placing them on the same wargame dio table as the Conte's.
I would also still use Hat,italeri.. The spartans would only play a small role just a few mercs maybe one or two blister cards.
when you have a mass of figures painted they all just blend in.
A good example of this is Fubar's Nap set ups he uses ACTA and K&C on the same table it all even's out..

A moment of silence please, had my first plastic spartan casualty. Tried to swap hands and one broke off in the wrist, I'm bummed.

Err yes, there is a note for caution on the swaps. The hands especially are a bit delicate. I have now broken two. I guess those will be glue in a fixed position and, hey, let's be careful out there.

"Pah! But a flesh wound, come a bit closer and I'll bite yer ankle off!"
These are Sparta's finest, only one hand required.

LOL mate, this reminds me of the Monty Python Holy Grail Black Knight scene.

Of course, the last survivors of the 300 did fight with their teeth.

Seems like there could be a market for spare hands arms, etc.

Oooo, I have been thinking the same thing. Wouldn't it be great to be able to buy the various sword, spear and shield arms; sign me up.

 

[eborris]

I think so too, maybe this will get back to him.

Might have a go at these plastics Look impressive painted up. What colours are you using for the shields and armour?

 

[eborris]

I can tell you if you authenticate your clearence level for me. It is a heavilly guarded secret

I have been fooling around with that combination to get a really cool color When I start my installment I might disclose the secret. might!

Get a pinvise drill and bit from your local hobby shop and drill out the broken part, some wire and glue and your back in business.Even a piece of toothpick will work.

Bronze armor and shields. A wash of black and a quick drydrush in bronze again.
