Finally!! Got some time to post pictures of some armies for DBA that I painted during this year. Not only Romans and Romans foes. Some steps back in time and here come two ancient Greek armies: Athenians and Thebans. They will soon face each other on the battlefield. In the meantime, let's review the troops.
Third picture, the hoplite on the very left... he really caught my attention! The blue shield with the white bird... and brilliant work on the face. Not to mention all the other great figs I see... And is this non-metallic-metal? If so, it looks fantastic! If not, the true-metallic-metal looks fantastic
Looking incredibly great, but I recommend to do some conversions of the figures in order to create more diversity. That easy plastic makes head swaps etc. more than easy
Amazing paintwork, Mr. Andrea. I love specially the shields, the tunics, the helmets' plumes, the armours, the weapons, the horses...Am I forgetting anything? Oh, yes, the bases. I think everything is great.

We had a DBA fight during Xmas break: an Persian-Theban alliance against a Athenian-Spartan league. The Spartan managed to sustain the Theban charge on the right side of the battlefield, but unfortunately the Athenian crashed the Persian on the left side. I say "unfortunately" as I was on the alliance side.
