The Argonauts - getting started

My wife loves Ancient Greek history so it was a no brainer to add a Greek style warband to the Broken Legions collection - in the game they are called The Argonauts.  Again, being a skirmish game it's really cheap to pick up a sprue and a few metal bits to make a list.

First up is the Leader, an Argonaut Captain in the game, and I've called her Polyxena, Spear of Athena:

This is an Atalantes Oplites Warrior from the incredibly good Mierce Miniatures Darklands range.  She's taller and more slender than Warlord Games minis - but in a game where there are demigods, maybe she's part divine?

Next we have the rest of the heroes (L-R) Teukros (Heraclean Champion), Icarion (Orphean Champion) and Xuthos (Heraclean Champion):

These chaps are made using bits from the Warlord Games Greek Hoplite sprue and the associated command sprue.  The Heraclean Champions are built with the larger shields and bronze armour to denote their champ status.

Of course, it can't be an Argonauts list without some Argonauts (really, it can't, they are a 1+ henchman choice!).  Here we have (L-R) Hippias, Koinos, Hypenor, Iobates and Danaos:

These are the Warlord Games Greek Command with sword (metal minis) and two linen armoured Argonauts built from the Hoplites sprue (and some bits from the command sprue such as swords and helms).

To give some equipment options we have some spear-armed Argonauts too - (L-R) Agetos, Mydon and Pythios:

These used up the rest of the linen armoured torsos from the Hoplites sprue.  Mydon got a helmet from the command sprue, the lucky chap.

Finally to give some non-Argonaut options we have a couple of Mercenary Hoplites (L-R) Ombrion and Eurybotas:

These make use of the unarmoured bodies from the Hoplites sprue (as the mercenaries have lesser armour in Broken Legions than the Argonauts it seemed to make sense).  I also gave them the shield decorations (I'm sure they have a technical name but despite some searching I can't find it!) to further make them stand out from the Argonauts minis.

Like with the Soliders of the Eagle, I'd quite like a couple of additional minis to give some extra options - a suitable Oracle mini is high on the list and a couple of Cretan Archers would be good to give some mercenary firepower to the list.
