One way and another I'm not getting much done on the wargaming side at the
moment - mostly I'm chopping out hawthorns on a hedge and putting a boundary
fence in!

The figures themselves are quite a neat conversion. Another four would have been nice to make up the unit - I'll probably add another element of an officer, standard bearer and two musicians to make the unit up.

| The notes I got from Harry described them as '44 Phalangites converted from Greek musicians with wire pikes and soldered on shields.' This is a bit inaccurate - the base figure is actually an artillery crewman. |

They appear on page 97 of The Ancient Wargame though Grant had a few more than I got.

Classic figures. The things we used to have to do. (and now do just for fun)
ReplyDeleteI do think that the modern generation is missing a lot of the things through an excess of choice. It is fun making something 'new', and it does give you a sense of achievement.
DeleteVery nice conversion work. I don't envy you the hawthorn work... Not quite as vicious as blackthorn but getting there.
ReplyDeleteGot them as well. Worst thing is letting the things grow on either side of the path down - so the brambles grow through them, across then down whilst the nettles add to the problem... becomes very difficult, very fast...
DeleteBeautiful. Charles Grant was a very talented man. Im as envious as ever Rob.
