Splendid looking unit Charlie. I think the head swaps work a treat. Much as I love Michael Perry’s work across the board, I do think the plastics are better than the metals - just much better detail - and massive Perry fanboy that I am, there’s no escaping the quality problems that seem to afflict the casting of some of their metal figures.

But the end result here is a mightily impressive body of wargames figures  :-*

Nice work Charlie - very convincing looking unit - you've used the best poses and conversions and it looks suitably generic.
Having any separate captains/musicians with it?

Excellent paintjob, all together make a very realistic looking battle unit! Congrats!

Fantastic work as always Charlie. The large units look very good and the thought you obviously put into their composition really shows!

What else is on the cards for 2018 apart from another pike block?

Just spent a very enjoyable 15 mins break from work looking over your thread Charlie - great figures, really well composed, painted and finished.
