3 points of Phalangites warriors for Epirus/Macedon/Successors. Maybe I'll work on them some more once I get a hold of the appropriate shield decals.

They look cool, I like the freehand and the weathering on the shields!

Looks like I didn't glue the warlord's shield properly so it fell off somewhere and I couldn't find. So I had to make a replacement.


Also here's a size comparison of warlord and victrix plastic phalangites if anyone's interested

Nice hand painted Alexander!  I had a couple of goes at a similar face yesterday, then chickened out and ordered some transfers. :)

Starting a new warband, the Gauls, because I had the warlord celtic infantry box lying about for a couple of years after I'd used a half of it on making chaos marauders.
Also I had plenty of leftover chainmail and linothorax torses from previous projects, as well as legs in pants from Victrix Successor Phalangites
20 warriors (need to add 4 more) and a Warlord in the middle waiting for his chariot.

A slight deviation from my saga routine. I'm taking a dive into 15mm, starting with a Syracusan army for Basic Impetus. The minis are 3d prints from 3dbreed. So far I've completed the first half, which consists of skirmishers and a great many of basic hoplites, as well as a commander stand. I still have to add the hoplite bodyguards, cavalry and the gallic+italic allies.

Those look very sharp! I especially like the basing on the hoplites and how they look with the shields overlapping. The large Impetus bases are a lot better than smaller bases used in games like DBA, at least for achieving that diorama effect. I’m definitely looking forward to seeing additional units as they’re completed.
