With no game this week due to me being full of cough and cold I took the time to finish off basing a unit of 28mm Macedonian Cavalry that I had recently completed. It therefore seems like a good time to give a progress update on my 28mm Macedonian army first started in January of last year. Initially the army is based on Macedonians under Philip II at the Battle of Chaeronea in 338 BC will but eventually expand well beyond that into all of Alexander the Great's campaigns and even the Successors!
This unit of Macedonian Companion cavalry is an all metal figure unit.
I am not sure which make though as I got these figures from ebay.
No, they are not running away, just a photo of their rear to show off their cloaks.
All 8 units and two command bases (Philip on foot and Alexander mounted) that I have painted so far. So this is a slow grow project because as usual I am painting up figures for several projects (and scales) and keep swapping about.
The army is a real mix of Warlord and Victrix plastic figures with a few metal figures dotted about. (Mainly command figures and characters).
At this rate of painting I may get them on the gaming table before the end of this year.
Alexander leading his Companions.
Victrix light cavalry ahead of 2x Warlord Games Phalanx units, each of 32 men.
Next up I have another unit of Mercenary hoplites to finish plus a hoplite command base, an all metal unit of pike and another metal unit of Companion Cavalry to paint.
Many more still in the box (lead and plastic mountain).
Those look great. Nicely colourful, without being garish.
ReplyDeleteThe basing is good too, have you changed your style?
Many thanks Mister C. I have changed the basing style on this army to try and better suit Mediterranean climes? I am quite pleased with it.
ReplyDeleteLooks fabulous - had great fun with both my Greeks and Macedonians - now really struggling with the Persians
