28mm Victrix Successor "Auxiliary" troops

[madaxeman]

I've finally managed to get some of the 28mm Victrix Successors I previewed in a half-painted state a few weeks ago finished, and into the light box for some professional-grade (ahem) photos.

The context to this is that I'm building my first ever Successor/Alexandrian 28mm army, and so with a huge range of troops to choose from in Successor armies I didn't want to do my usual "try and make and spray the whole army in one go" thing, but instead break the task down into manageable chunks that I could stay motivated to complete – hence deciding to start with the "light" troops

That ended up meaning that my first (OK second – I have completed and taken photos of some test bases before now) batch of figures for this army ended up being Light Infantry, Javelinmen, Peltasts and a couple of bases of Galatian crazy heavy infantry (because, well, they are really cool figures.)

And, the results are now in, with this smattering of photos plus a whole lot more on the website at link









and to finish ….



There's a whole lot more on the website at link

Looking good so far. I did exactly the same thing with my first ever 28mm army. It helped that my friend Nick was building a Successor army at the same time so that we could field a force on the tabletop in half the time. I ruthlessly let Nick do the heavy lifting of painting phalanx whilst I got to have fun with Galatians, Cretan archers, Thracian, elephants and all sorts of cavalry!

They look great! The armies of the successors are a lot of fun, so many troop types you can mix in alongside the pikemen. Lots of potential enemies, too!
