Hey guys, I am from /toy/, thought you might like to hear about a new line of Figures from Bossfight Studios - it's a line of Greek Warriors and Mythical beasts. (vitruvian HACKS)
Anyway, I have a few and was wondering if you could help me, I want to customise my Spartans so that they are really accurate.
Pic related, the base Figure for the Spartan.
More shots

You could start by exchanging those swords for a shield and spear. Hardly any real warriors in history used dual swords except I think some Indonesians or Cambodians or something
>>1065314
>only corinthian helms
why not vikings?
>>1065345
Greeks > vikings
>>1065314

Throw them from a cliff.
>>1065343
What are these?
>>1065352
Wew
This is what I have done for one of them So far, grimes him up and given him a skirt thing..
>>1065359
All corinthian style greek helms.
>>1065363
that's gay
Lol I know collecting toys is sad but hey, not the end of the world.
What kind of pouches / bags would these guys have had? A sleeping roll?
Where can I get this S A X O N S T R O N K figurine
>>1065370
Is that's true Greek helm then? Looks ugly as fuck lol
>>1065373
something to pour that cum from their butthole to. unless their comrades just licked it off.
>>1065370
condom helmets are the best helmets
>>1065373
Get yourself some Osprey books, they are pretty accurate.
>>1065381
This is why we can't have nice things.
>>1065396
>>1065389
Jesus Christ, casually sacrificing a sheep while arrows rain all over the fucken place
>>1065400
>>1065419
You should also make one in a spolas aka linothorax
>>1065430
Heres how your average spartan would look
>>1065448
With armor of course. Depends on what Era you want too. It changes what helmet was used
>>1065448
>>1065381
wow there are illyriano types and phrygian types and boetian types and thracian types and the pileus types and the chalcidian types. are the only helet's available for those models corinthian type?
>>1065465
illyrian* sorry
>>1065456
But my point is there wasn't just one helm being used during any era and its annoying seeing it shown like that.
>>1065468
Yeah true I get you man

Athenian Warriror

Anon pls.
>>1065804
Finally someone with good taste
>>1065488
>Leonidas
>he has a mustache
yeah, no. One of the Codes of Lycurgus that dictated Spartan life mandated the shaving of the upper lip.
>>1065842
Can you give me a source on that, I can't really find anything online
>>1065900

Was going to post that helm but went to go have lunch
>>1066072
WUZ
>>1065314
That's not a figure of Spartan, but a figure of a caricature of Spartan.
Absolutely disgusting.
>>1065314
take off his shoes and armor, grease his hair, give him a shield and a spear, make the sword much smaller (spartans were proud of using small swords and still whooping everyone's ass with it), give him some flashy clothes to intimidate his enemies and make sure at least 12 other dudes fucked his bald wife
>>1065373
give him a water jug
Thoughts?

>>1065430
Why did they think it was more necessary to cover shins than it was to cover thighs?
>>1065430
"'ello señor would you trade that tarp for some pit bull puppies"
>>1065389
They're not reliable at all, anon.
>>1067344
See that cloth under the shield? It's to deflect arrows going at the legs.
Maybe in the crush of battle it's hard to poke someone in the thigh.
>>1068690
>>1068670
Well also the armor could be much longer to cover part of the thighs. The shield would cover from the helmet to the greaves
>>1065489
kawaii twintails
>>1065314
Since you got multiple heads try shaving off his mustache. Spartans had long hair and beards with no mustache
>>1065314
When the fuck did /toy/ get added?
>>1065314
Not interested
>>1065363
Give him an armor for god's sake and get rid of the sword
>>1069676
Bruh they used swords
>>1070818
Yeah but I doubt they dual wielded as much as these figures suggest. It's a backup weapon.
>>1071019
Yeah but they still used swords
Hey OP I want to start a collection of Late Medieval/Early Modern knights and soldiers for display. What are some good shops and higher-end brands? Something that's ready to use do to speak, I can't paint or anything.
>>1067041
is this primarily what the roman helmet took its design inspo from?
>>1075298
No, Romn helmets were a copy of celtic montefortino helmets.
Anyone played this game? What didya think of the helmets in it?
>>1075303
>300 BC to 1st Century AD
Okay but where did the Montefortino design originate from?
>>1065381
pleb
>>1075314
Hallstatt/La Tene shit?
