Victrix Macedonian Phalangites - Again

Finished the two additional sets. Now enough for 3 units of 24 and a separate command stand.
All shields have LBMS transfers.  The center unit with Pyrrhic designs and the flanking two, mercenaries with various Macedonian designs. 
Actually finished the figures a few days ago, but was waiting on some additional transfers from LBMS, which arrived today. I had ordered some Pyrrhic designs which are for Aventine shields and had hoped to use them with Victrix shields. Alas, they were a bit too small. Luckily, I had ordered enough from Victrix. See the size difference below. 
Well, I think there are enough Phalangites for now. Thanks for stopping by and wishing you all good health and hobby pursuits.

    1. Thanks, Keith. I actually finished the Lancers a few weeks ago; only painted 8 of them, though. That's the size of cav units I use. Warmest regards, Dean
