Your referring to the Myrmidons, and they weren't just his troops, they were his people; he was their king. During the Greek Bronze Age, they were the best warriors in the world. In fact, it is said that the Spartans tried to model their society after that of the Myrmidons.

The armor that Hector wore used to belong to Achilles. Achilles had refused to fight because of a dispute he had with Agamemnon so he let his friend Patroclus wear his special golden armor to raise the moral of the Greek troops. But Hector, thinking that the guy in the armor was Achilles, killed Patroclus and took the armor. So Achilles fights Hector for revenge for his friend and spots Hector since he's wearing the golden armor.
