Vitcrix's Mercenary Armoured Hoplites 5th to 3rd Century BCE follow the pattern establised in their previous rleases in this range. That being 48 figures per box and 8 head variants with different crest options tomix and match within your unit to give great variety to your models.
 
There are 8 figures per frame, 4 have shield arms attached and 4 have no arms attached to enable you to make the musician and other speciality positions for officers and character figures. there are a variety of arms holding thrusting spears, which by careful positioning can represent the spear held at rest of in the act of being 'thrust'. Additionally there are various swords and scabbards plus parts to make a musician or officer
 
As you would expect this boxed set is designed to be mixed with parts from the other 3 Hoplite sets, (Spartan, Theban and Athenian) which all have their own speciality heads and options to give you yet more variety to your Greek armies.
 
Each box comes with a sheet of shield transfers (from Little Man Studios), these are excellent!!
