Being a bit on the impatient side I thought it would be nice to get them all together for a Review...
I set them out in 4 main lines. The first line consists of 'distance' psiloi - archers, slingers and staff slingers. The second line are javelin armed psiloi. Next, assorted Companion cavary - Alexander himself is part of the extreme right flank unit. Finally, the main battle line - Hypaspist units, then phalangites, then mercenary peltasts, finally on the extreme left were all my Thracians.
Most of my close ups of the bulk army didn't come out very well - army's still set up, might try again later.
The majority of these are ex-Harry Pearson collection, some are from my original 1970's army.
Impressive and beautiful army!
ReplyDeleteThey are very well painted figures.
DeleteThats a beautiful army, irrespective of their age.
ReplyDeleteNot sure if it's just because these were the first metal figures I owned or not, but fact is I've always preferred them to modern figures.
DeleteI just love your armies! How fantastic to have so many of the old Minifigs together - a feast for the eyes.
ReplyDeleteMinifigs and Garrison - Minifigs mostly a case of just about around at the right time to buy ones coming onto the market in the last few years, Garrison more a case of, well, they went out of production twice, were about to disappear for a third time and so I went for it.
DeleteBasically, I always considered Garrison as owning the Chocolate Factory - since then picking up so many early Minifigs counts as Factory Number 2. And cost-wise, I'm usually picking up painted figures at half the price of 'new' Minifigs.
They look wonderful Rob.
ReplyDeleteThank you - wish I could take some of the credit!
