The standard and the officer's shield have LBMS transfers from the Phalangite set. The standard bearer and musician's shields are metal embossed ones from Crusader - which I've had for many years. For the record, the Crusader shields are a good alternative if you don't want to use decals or transfers - you just need to paint them bronze and give them a wash and highlights.
The figures themselves are nicely proportioned and cleanly sculpted. I don't recall seeing any mold lines.
As mentioned in the previous post, I would not hesitate picking up more of these if I were to create a larger Macedonian/Successor army. The one cautionary note would be that they are slightly larger than many other makes, but not by much.
Farewell to Epirus!
Beautiful command stand! Are the cavalry large too?
ReplyDeleteThanks, Jonathan. Haven't gotten Macedonian cavalry, but their Greek Light Cavalry seem fine. Actually, the Phalangites aren't too much bigger than many current 28mm ranges. Warm regards, Dean
DeleteI remember posting about pikes, then I blinked and caught up to this one. Nice work Dean, a very nice command stand.

Lol! Yes, only 3 figures, but wasn't sure when I would paint them. Just got the urge last night. Warm regards, Dean
DeleteNice work and a lovely unit......I have quite a lot of victim Greeks, their casting must be improving as they certainly have mould lines on mine 👍
ReplyDeleteThanks a lot, Matt. I've never picked up their Greek Hoplite sets, but it may be that they are some of their older sculpts - and molds getting old? Anyway, appreciate your visits and warm comments. Best regards, Dean
DeleteGreat looking command stand and the phalanx looks superb as well.
ReplyDeleteCheers, Ross

ReplyDeleteMahalos, Doc. Didn't think I would get back to phalanxes after parting with my Foundry collection, but these Victrix plastics broke down my resistance. Aloha, Dean
