Hello again!
My last unit from my Macedonian army is now ready. The figures come from the Gripping Beast "Polemos" range.
(it is actually a Seleucid guard phalanx unit, but it was the only phalanx I had for the moment)
I used the famous LBMS shield transfers for the first time. The first transfers took a lot of time to apply, but a few shields further in the line, I got it under hand. It still took me a whole evening to apply the transfers.
I had then to paint the edges of the shield, first in black (the transfers are to be used on a white primed surface) and then with gold, as this unit was called the Chrysaspides. Which is classical Greek for Golden shields.
I don't know if I did something wrong, I don't think it looks perfect. But it is certainly good enough to play our games. No one will notice when there are a few hunderds of toys on a gaming table!
Do check them yourself.
It is the last unit I had to paint for a soon to be played historical scenario. More on that will follow as soon as we (me and the wargaming friends) have a date when we can play the game. Rules will be "Clash of Empires".
Unfortunately, I forgot to take some close-ups of the unit.
Maybe in the next update. If I don't forget...
Very nice! I think they have come up really well...
BeantwoordenVerwijderenLooking very good! Can't have too many phalangites.
BeantwoordenVerwijderenThanks for the kind words.
BeantwoordenVerwijderenI agree, you can never have too many phalangites!
