Pyrrhic Victory - was Hoplites of Magna Graecia - now with more Phalangites

[Axebreaker]

I've read your articles in WSS and so have an idea of what you do, but these little extra hints really do help.

I'm a three tone painter and have mastered the technique to a point I'm very happy with the results,but......not happy with the time it takes. I'm not getting any younger with 50 just a few years away with so many periods I want to do, but realistically know this will never happen if I continue to paint everything the way I do. Not to mention eyes not what they used to be. If I just did skirmish games this would not be a problem, but I actually prefer armies and so something has to give. Some projects will just have to get done using AP the way it's intended in order to realize some of my goals. Hopefully I'll master the technique enough with time in vs results that leave me feeling content. Thank you very much for your help as I'll put it to good use!

It was your Army Painter dipping that convinced me to do my Naps. Great work, Dr. Phil!

On the back of your explanation I shall be trying out your techniques on my Victrix Romans and Italians later in the year.  Keep up the good work.

Here's a photo of this week's phalanx unit:



More photos tomorrow, possibly - the 'complete' Tarentine contingent, and the phalanx so far.

Next unit to be painted, probably, an Epirote phalanx unit.

What a fine looking phalanx.   Really looking forward to how this army 'fills' out.    Quite inspirational.   I hope mine turn out at least half as good as these.

Out of curiosity, how many hours does it take you to whip out these wonderful units?

[Axebreaker]

They look excellent!

Thanks lads!

Here is my latest phalanx unit - some Epirotes - i.e. blokes from Pyrrhus' kingdom on the western shore of the Greek mainland.
