ALEXANDRIAN MACEDONIAN

[PUNCH]

the figures are from Xyston Miniatures, the shields from littlebigmen studios .
one more project !
Alexander the great (my interpretation of him)


Crateros


Parménion


the agema and the companions (the big wedge )


my first taxeis of foot companions (I plan to paint 6 of them to have 3 phalanxes of foot companions and 1 phalanx of hypaspists)



the cretan archers



more to follow....

These are excellent. The foot hypaspists in particular look very impressive. Between this and the most recent meg podcast I'm now tempted by an Alexandrian/successor pike army too...

[nikgaukroger]

Another nice paint job there

The pikes! The pteruges! Punch you taunt me so!
I am especially taken with those Nellies

Now I think of it I may have some 28mm foundry phalangites hanging about in a drawer somewhere, fairly far off the scale of a full army though

[badhabum]

BRAVO

Now when is next tournament ?

[Nathan]

Very nice and I do like an army with elephants.

[PUNCH]

Hi ,

thanks for all your kind comments, I try to improve the quality of the pics (not progressed too much)

to taunt Jamie once more 

the colourful Agrianian javelinmen,  I changed some of the round shields to the nice pelte and put the nice littlebigmenstudios transfers to add variety, drilled hands have spears from plastic broom bristles





the Hypaspist pike version inspired by the image in the Osprey book "the guy with the purple shield in exomis E1 "
transfers from Littlebigmenstudios and pikes made with longer broom bristles





of course more to follow....

Be seeing you

All very lovely.
Picture quality is pretty good.

Very nice work. If I weren't committed to Essex for my collection I'd use Xyston. Great figures.
I've been using the LBMS shield transfers for some 28's, and it's pretty tedious. In 15mm, I don't know if I could do it. Any hints or tips? At least I don't have fingers the size of sausages!

HINTS AND TIPS!
small scissors, sharp cutter blade and PATIENCE! 
after practising on hundreds of them you will find it easy 

Kind regards.

For round ones a hole punch is your friend, and if there is a boss on the shield a smaller punch for the hole needed for that

humm! how can I understand that?
seems to be too much holes for one small PUNCH

Tip: cut off or file the boss on the shield, then put the decal and paint in metal the white in the middle of the shield (real time saver) 

PUNCH "from the White Rabbit song, one to be small "
