More than 4 years ago, I acquired a large set of unpainted 28 mm Macedonian Successor figures from a local gamer who had had them sitting around for years without getting around to doing anything with them.
I glued 96 figures to my usual tongue depressor painting sticks, primed them, and painted the first phalanx of 24 figures almost a year later.
Thereafter, I made about as much additional progress as the original owner had, namely... nil!
So, after several years where painting some of these fellows was in my plans, this month I finally did something about it!
This red and green themed unit was finished, appropriately, on Christmas Day. These are A&A figures... I think.
I cleverly named it the πράσινο ( Prásinos) Phalanx, which is nothing more or less than Greek for "Green" - in the color sense, not lack of experience!
Good luck to your splendid and impressive πράσινο Phalanx in its future battles!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Phil!
DeleteSuper looking unit, really like the ‘officers’
ReplyDeleteThank you, Gary. They are especially nice sculpts!
DeleteThese are two dozen good looking figures. Are the remaining 48 in work too?
ReplyDelete24 more are; I will probably do the remaining 24 in Q1 of 2020. I have enough figures for quite a few more, although less heavily armored!
DeleteGreat work Peter, and the shield designs are very effective. Those tongue depressors work well.
ReplyDeleteTanks, Lawrence! This time the shields are a combination of cast-on and freehand.
DeleteThey turned out quite well. 4 years is not that long a wait...
ReplyDeleteThank you, Jake; how many countries did Alexander conquer in 4 years?
DeleteLovely job Peter! An effective colour combo!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Mark!
DeleteRapidly turned around pikemen (rapid compared to me!) Good looking phalangists!
ReplyDeleteBest Iain
Thanks, and Happy New Year, Iain!
DeleteThese and your other unit came out great, Peter! Glad to see them!
ReplyDeleteThanks. I actually have two more to post soon, plus as unit of archers, the Companions nearing completion, and the Thracian Cavalry as well. So a real dent being made in all of that Macedonian Lead! The damned virus is good for something...
