Hoplites were the heavy infantry of the Greek city-states. Armed with a 2.44 m (8 ft) thrusting spear and short sword, hoplites were the best soldiers of Greece. Their name derived from hopl-the name of the large shield. They also were normally equipped with chest, leg, waist and head armor of cloth, linen, leather or metal-normally bronze.
I finished these plastic pieces today.

Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D, No, We Are NOT Just Cannon Fodder
S.H.I.E.L.D (Strategic Homeland Intervention Enforcement and Logistics Division) Agents are well trained, dedicated operatives.
They are professionals who can well handle their human enemy counterparts.
Nick Fury, the Head of S.H.I.E.L.D. knows that his agents are too well trained and experienced to throw away as mindless cannon fodder.
Of course, casualties do occur, and sacrifices happen, but they are not supposed to be tossed into combat Willy Nilly against overwhelmingly powerful enemies.
Knowing this, S.H.E.I.L.D. Agents have high morale and steadfast loyalty to their organization.
This set is plastic that I painted last week

Hera, Queen of the Gods, Daughter of Kronus ans Rhea, wife of Zeus, Goddess of Women, Childbirth and Marriage and one very, very jealous wife.
Nothing angered her more than catching her over sexed husband having his way with humans, gods, immortals or any female period (seeing as Zeus had over 100 children that were not Hare's, she had a very busy time getting her revenge).
Even hero's like Herakles were victims of Hera's anger towards Zeus' philandering.
Hera is a large plastic piece from Mystic Battles that I painted last July.Even though Hiktos Nuluk isn't a child of Zeus, Hera is going to pound him just on general principle.

Who Needs Pack Mule When You can have "Pack-Lizard"
The "Pack-Lizard" is a necessity for every dungeon party.
Able to carry more than half its body weight in all the supplies needed for your dungeon adventure, Pack-Lizard is an affordable substitute for those pesky pack mules. The low-slung nature of Pack-Lizard has the added advantage of allowing the party to shoot an enemy without the need to move Pack-Lizard for a clear line of sight.
-So, pick up a Pack-Lizard at your nearest dungeon outfitter or direct from "Pack-Lizard Ltd," Next to the Lizars Tong Pub, Low Street, Londinium.
