Athenian Light and support Troops
Although the mainstay of any Greek army is there Hoplites and there various classes, they do need support troops if they want to soften up or break the opponents phalanx.
So I have added for light forces to me Athenians in the form of a unit of Peltrast, light infantry with the strength to fight with armoured hoplites for a round or two but also have javelins which they can use to rain hell of the enemy.
I have also added slingers, archers and javelin-men too
I have gone with the same blues I have used previously for my Peripoloi and Hoplites to bring the whole force together and give it that look of Athens.
