My First Phalanx!


This is a photo I took of my first phalanx. I painted about 2/3 of the figures, but 24 of the nicest minis at the front were painted by Andy Bryant.

The beauty of the dust cloud is that it makes the unit look bigger than it is; there are around 60 minis in the units, but they look like around 80 (most of the pikes protruding from the clouds don't have figures attached).

I'm part way towards a second phalanx but they are in a queue behind a whole lot of Romans.

This is where I'll be putting pictures of my models and documenting the campaigns of the Micro Wargaming Club of which I'm a member.

These pictures are from our last major battle, set in North Africa around 46BC, between two Roman armies, one Caesarean and the other Pompeian including a huge Numidian allied contingent including no less than 8 elephants.

Most of our battles tend to be very close but on this occasion, as at Thapsus, things went very pearshaped for the Pompeians from the outset.
