I'm a bit hit and miss at the moment.

I have been working like mad on developing my board game - finished soon I hope and then back to painting some mini's

Great to see some reponses! Although when I believe the stats today was the busiest day on Druchii.net ever? :O
Unfortunately, the arm is not so good looking as I hoped. It seems it is out of proportion, not a fitting hand.
I will likely cut off the whole arm and replace it with his initial Assassins Creed hand to make it well proportioned again.

Yep - looks a bit long.

I would have chopped it at the wrist.

Update on the WIP Spartans, we are slowly slowly getting there with the first unit. Currently, it is still Roman legionnaire style, but I have ordered capes so hopefully they fit and I can add some Spartan style to it.

the mash of red and metal look great!

There is nothing more satisfying than painting a bulk unit like that.

I agree, I have yet to find out a simple and effective NMM painting scheme for the spear blades, but otherwise it is very similar to colouring drawings you do as a kid.

With a set of 5 or 10, you apply layer for layer, very satisfying job. I even think it has a similar effect as meditation, calming your body and soul. I always find when I paint 1 hour before I go to sleep, I sleep like a baby.

Looking forward to receive the capes, I hope they fit in current set up and I don't have to rebase the models. If they do, and I can create that classisc red scarlet look of the back of a Spartan phalanx, I would be intensely satisfied.

Nice capes - they look great.

Which bit are they from - I always struggled to get bulk capes in the past.

Love the poll dancer at the top - she's great!

The army looks good, there's nothing more satisfying than seeing it all come together on the table. :D
