Hello! first time posting, just thought those at HAT would like to see how I have used some of their minis! If you have any suggestions on how to prime and seal them for the best longevity I would be greatful to hear that for future projects. So far no issues! Thank you for so many great ancient sets!
Model: Zvezda Greek Trireme kit bashed from many parts from other kits
Minis used: HAT Greek Catapult workers, HAT Alexanders Light infantry, Hat Macedonian Hypaspists, Stretlets Roman senators. HAT roman catapult (may not stay with this model) Mangonel is sourced from some board game that I am not sure which.
A game piece
A robust, maneuverable, ship with average speed for its size, it's main tactics are a devastating copper reinforced bow ram that can split smaller ships in half or get lodged into larger ones allowing its forward bow tower and archers the advantage in the high ground to rain down arrows. Its tall side walls gives some protection against boarding and to its slingers and small mangonel giving a relentless barrage towards any that try. Its weaknesses are that its units are not well armored and does not have many melee troops to fend off strong boarding parties. Has crew of 24/25 (I will likely use the scorpion in another ship)
Hope you enjoy!
