Here's the refurbed/extended phalanx I've been working on recently, finally complete(ish). I say complete(ish) because I've decided that it ideally needs another 32 figures to bring it to 128, which is a much more Macedonian number, but they will have to wait a while for reinforcements as I'm working on another phalanx, now.
On the battlefield they will doubtless be formed up 4 deep, but 8 looks great.
The rear view (above) shows that only the front 3-4 ranks have linen armour.
All but one of the minis are Foundry (there's a solitary Bronze Goat in there somewhere).
Unusually for me, I did paint most of the figures in this unit, except for the first 2 dozen that were beautifully painted by Andy Bryant, whose style I have tried to imitate. The last 30 minis were painted using the fast method I described in a recent post, using sprays and dips as much as possible.
