Absolutely beautiful!

Awesome, and inspiring!

I really should get to work on my own Macs...

Ah, that makes sense. I was wondering if there was some sort of consensus on the matter.

I'll try both methods, and see how it works out.

Thanks for the reply!

Was that a bad question...?

Not in my copy.

The BG size for the trad hoplites and the Iphikrateans are both 6-8 (which I think you may be misreading)

Ah, you're right. Sorry, my mistake!

D'oh!


Edit: While we're at it, how would you recommend deploying the Pezhetaroi/Foot Companions?

Blocks of 12 - frontage of 3, depth ...

In the Alexandrian Macedonian list, there are entries for Greek Mercenary Hoplites.

Traditional Hoplites: 0-8
Iphikratean Hoplites: 0-8

But the group total is 0-36.

I'm guessing that should be 0-16...?


Don't get me wrong, I love my little Xyston Hoplites, but 36 seems to be a bit much...

I phoned in an order, and it was promptly shipped - I received it very quickly.

Thumbs up to Brookhurst!

Is there a US distributor who sells the small packs of figures - not the pre-sorted DBA armies - besides Warweb.com?

I ordered an army worth of Alexandrian Macedonians in early August. I received around 80%, the rest are "on back-order" for an indefinite period of time. I'd like to finish this army ...

I'm guessing WWII reenactors wouldn't help much...

Finally, I'll be able to use my Horatius-at-the-Bridge figure!

How about Late Romans?

Beautiful work!

If those shadows are the result, may have to try this.

If painting horses is a problem, you can always use a spray-on brown primer, then lighten or darken the horse with washes or basic drybrushing.


I've found that a brown primer works well for infantry as well. For example, I prime my Romans with a brick red spray-on primer. Skin is easier to paint ...

You know me too well.

Wow, they are beautiful. I was considering an Later Crusader army too, or at least an ally to a Komnenan Byzantine army (If I can find decent figures for the Komnenans).

Say, you look familiar...

;)

If you're planning on Late Crusaders, then I'll be forced to do Ayyubids - even if our armies ...

I'd prefer 15mm, from a USA-based distributor.

Any suggestions are welcome, and if you have pictures, please post them!

Thank you!

Seldon, your Romans are awesome.

Dying at 33?

Pyrrhus, if you're following this - two of the other people from the Attactix group have bought and started armies; one Late-Republican Roman and one Carthaginian.
