Game preview/Greeks vs Persians.

I have been painting (in-between sore eyes) furiously over the past two weeks,the 100 Greek Hoplites that I had ordered from Warrior Miniatures,and having finished them,I naturally had to have them on the board,and so the game of Thermopolopolis was born!!!

The scenario and table,as the "lads" will see it on Sunday.
Athenian reserve,with Spartans to their left and Thebans to their right-off picture,further right are the Corinthians.
A view from the Spartan-held far left flank,looking towards the advancing Greek Mercenaries and the Persian Immortals.
The rest of the Spartan contingent-looking menacing(as usual!)
The Persian centre and King's Bodyguard.
If he's needed,it means the Persian army is in a bit of bother!!!
Don't three hedgehogs look triple cute????

 Roll on Sunday.

    Cracking looking armies John I have always liked the Persian army. I see the hedgehogs are fattening up nicely, when are they going on the fire?
