I have around 10 painting sessions before Partizan and have been racing to finish what I’m calling the Theban mega-phalanx for Leuctra- it’ll be touch and go. Here are the shields- painted, varnished and awaiting their clubs of Heracles. The figures (not shown) are mostly-painted by chum Shaun McTague but need finishing, basing etc, there will be 72 of the blighters plus Epaminondas.

The Leuctra „To the Strongest!“ game at Partizan will take six players and I’ll run it twice. It will be short and bloody. I’m taking bookings….
