Successor Elites: Alexander's Foot Companions.

Hi Guys

A break for a moment from Napoleonics.

I thought I'd share a few photos of my recently completed Hypasapists. I've got six 60mm x 20mm bases. 28mm Miniatures. Mostly FOUNDRY, (insanely expensive but very nice) with some OLD GLORY command Figures for a bit more variety.

I based them for DBA but will also use them for IMPETUS.

The Shields are all hand pained.

My favorite figure is the Officer on the right (above). He's an OLD GLORY miniature, and seems to be 'breaking ranks' to urge the lads forward (as seen below):

"Follow me Men"!

I should add that the miniatures (including shields) were painted by FERNANDO ENTERPRISE to their 'SHOWCASE' standard. I wish I could paint that good.

UPDATE:
I thought I'd addsome photos of my recently completed Companions. Four bases of these Elite Cavalry will help secure Victory for the Foot Companions, (I hope). The miniatures are OLD GLORY. I added lances from my left over WARGAMES FACTORY 'Amazons'.

Back to work on my Dutch Belgians for 1815,...

Hi All

I thought it was about time I uploaded some pictures of something other than Napoleonics.

Here are some photos of some 28mm Ancients (Late Romans, Spanish and a personality Figure).

Below: A young Alexander, (not yet Great)! The miniature is by Xyston Miniatures,painted by me.

Below: Ancient Spanish from the FOUNDRY MINIATURES stable. I still need to add javlins, but I thought I'd share all the same. They were painted by FERNANDO ENTERPRISE to Showcase Quality. They really are beautifully painted!
