Greek Peltasts, Javelin Men and Slingers

These figures represent Greek light infantry from the 5th to mid 3rd Century BCE. These warriors were the main Greek mercenary of the 4th Century, lightly armed but also effective in close combat. Javelin men were used for skirmishing at a distance, mainly coming from the more mountainous areas of Greece.

This exceptional 60 figure set of 28mm hard plastic Greeks has superbly detailed figures and a myriad of additional parts allowing hundreds of options when building the figures. This set is fully supported by LBMS.

More Hellenistic than Classical

A good set with bodies from the unarmoured hoplites set but with a change of weapons. A little lacking in numbers of shields the same - mainly one of each.
Classical Thracian peltasts need different clothing and headgear but otherwise, can be used for psiloi, javilineers and peltasts (especially those using the round-faced peltas) for Greek and Macedonian armies into the Hellenistic period.
Slingers can be converted to add variety to the archers otherwise available from Victrix.

Great slingers

I like the singers which are very animated and there are at least enough parts to make 12 different figures; 3 basic figures/arm positions and 4 diffrent heads.
The Peltasts/Javelinmen however are not so good. Anatomically they are fine but they are clearly based on the unarmoured hoplites and the poses do not suit men throwing javelins nor do the figures are not designed to hold a weapon in each hand as a peltast would. The sheilds reverse sides, which can be clearly seen on some figure are not detailed. Most early pelasts would have wicker shield covered in goat skin and a least some of the Javelinmen would have had straw hats the single hat provided looks like felt!
