Thanks for the input and confirming my suspicions. That said, you could bash out a box of these pretty quick and they're going to look OK. Looking forward to getting my hands on the Victrix ones someday.
Thank you very much, Ginz-san. The ginger guy always complaining about the Sun. lol. I've got more Spartans, but I don't know when I'll be getting around to them.
Thanks very much. I hope it helps somebody wanting to get into ancients and grows that period. A nice alternative to WW2. Almost like 40K and Fantasy. lol
Thanks, Cal. I'll have to check out their minis. Right now the exchange rate is punishingly high and then shipping charges (if not free) are also crazy, so I'm just compiling a list of makers for the future.
Looks great and in my opinion they look more realistic than the victrix. I know that a lot of people prefer the victrix because of the details (and they are right), but there is something about Warlord Games that makes me like them more. Nevertheless, great job
Thank you very much for the kind words. I have one more box of the Warlord ones to do in my rotation of never ending projects and I bought the Victrix ones, but didn't really go over them yet. I'm hoping to have both done within 2024. Fingers crossed!
Thanks for checking it out. Dry fit your guys on the bases first. Basing can be a disaster if you don't plan for it with all the spears and giant shields. Looking forward to seeing your Macedons some day!
Thank you very much. I have to agree. I did all the Victrix Gauls and was pretty spoiled with the sculpts. The Warlord ones are OK, but I know the Victrix ones have to be better. Good to grow a collection anyway, right? lol
@@CooperTreptow I definitely should. Summers always seem to have the habit of being kind of rough for me here, but Autumn the weather gets tolerable and I can focus more on painting. Aiming to put out more videos more regularly.
The struggles of basing miniatures sometimes can be the cause of great frustration. Shields to the very, very end is my go to. Looking to give the Victrix ones a go hopefully soon. Thanks for watching.
The rank and file games seem to have some strange basing system where you randomly get bases. I'm pretty sure my Napoleonics got bases before, as did the Landsknects, Ancients no bases. Bolt Action you always get the bases. Who the fuck knows, man? lol. Thanks for watching, dude.
The Warlord Greeks (Spartans in this case) are pretty simple looking figures compared to Victrix. That said, you made these pop, James! Well done!

Great tip about the basing.
I'm glad you liked it. Looking forward to seeing what you guys will be cooking up this Autumn.
Very nice work as usual, I', happy to see the ginger guy tradition is kept alive through your projects. Looking forward for more on this army

Great unboxing and they look fantastic 👌

Great unboxing video mate.
My Spartans were the Victrix ones.
Thanks, Leon. I want to do some of the Victrix ones eventually. I'm wrapping up some other projects real soon so be sure to check them out.
Cracking job James, they look excellent mate
Thanks you very much, Sean.
Some lovely looking paintjobs James, thank you for the review 😀 I hear Crocodile (i may have that wrong) do some "300" spartans.
Thanks, Cal. I'll have to check out their minis. Right now the exchange rate is punishingly high and then shipping charges (if not free) are also crazy, so I'm just compiling a list of makers for the future.
Despite it being an old kit they look superb
Cheers, Justin. The new stuff just keeps getting better and better though, doesn't it?
They look great
Thanks very much. And thanks for always commenting too, man. I really appreciate it.

Nice unboxing. I have the Macedonian Army from Warlord, most of it still waits for paint.

Nice one James. I think I’d take Victrix over Warlord any day of the week but you’ve done a great job of them. 👍

keep up the amazing videos
Thanks for the encouragement! I appreciate it!
@@jvcpaintsYou should do more updates on what you've been making like you used to

Lovely looking spartans too bad no bases was delivered with them.
Thanks, Lucian. Cutting bases can be a chore sometimes.
I see some gorilla arms like the old glory 25mm ACW guys you did ages ago. lol. You need a Leonaidas.
Brazil nut shaped heads. Shaggy from Scooby-doo with a musket. I have a Leonidas in my Chaos Marauder block of 25. Remember?
Yep basing is always a bitch, if I remember correctly holy diver struggled lining them up on bases.

Evidence that they actually all painted an L on their shields? None? Didn't think so.
No bases?! That's BS! Great paint though!
