Xyston phalangites

Phew, the latest batch - Xyston phalangites - is done, and there is now enough pike to cope with Paraitakene for Battle Day 2018.



Oops, looks like a couple of the sarissa need a wee touch up...

  3. Nice work Aaron! Are they Argyraspides? I love the Xyston figures they're actually better than quite a few 28mm ranges...

    1. Yes, I'll use them as Argyraspides. Mainly because I'm too lazy to apply shield transfers!

  4. They look suitably impressive! I'm thinking about collecting ancients in 15mm and your blog is not helping dissuade me.

  5. A nice block of troops. Impressive work when looking at the steps you go through to paint them in your last post.

  6. Impressive Phalanx! I like the light blue tunics. Are the individuals to the left and right some kind of marker or command base?

    1. They'll be heroes for To the Strongest! or markers for other rules :)

  10. Awesome looking phalanx, Aaron. They look so much like 28mm Foundry!

  11. They look great, Aaron! I have a host of Phalangites to paint, acquired in a bargain deal 2 years ago. I finished the first unit...
