Manda's (Amachan) Epirote Warband

The Basilikon Agema (King’s Vanguard) will be very similarly equipped to Alexander’s Companions. They will be mounted on horses wielding a Xyston (long spear), no shield and wearing a bronze cuirass and a cloak. The models will be made using 3 sets of the Aventine Miniatures HCP05 and they will be based on 25x50mm pill shaped bases. All of their cloth, including any cloth on the horses and any linothorax if present, will be painted using Scale 75 Scalecolor Cantabric Blue (SC-53) with the last 1/3 to 1/4 of the cloak being painted with Vallejo Game Color Ghost Grey (72.046). Any detailing on the clothing or armour will be done with Scale 75 Metal N’ Alchemy Elven Gold (SC-74). The leather tack of the horses will be painted using Vallejo Panzer Aces Dark Rubber (70.306) apart from the reigns, which will be painted Vallejo Panzer Aces Stencil (70.313). The rest of the colours will follow the earlier defined scheme.

SAGA

In SAGA they will be mounted hearthguard and I am planning on making 8 of them.

The Mollosian Phalangites will be equiped with a sarissa  and a small shield. They will mostly be wearing linothorax armour with some bronze cuirasses mixed in. These will be made from Aventine Miniatures PH001, PH09, PH11, PH21, PH22 and PH25 and will be on square 20x20mm bases to get them to form a tight formation. I will subdivide them into 3 groups of 8, each with their own different shield transfer and colour distinction on their shoulders and back. 1 group will have their shoulders painted Vallejo Model Color Old Rose (70.944), another Vallejo Game Color Scarlett Blood (72.106) and the last Vallejo Model Color Deep Sky Blue (70.844). All the piping/lining on the armour will be painted with Scale 75 Scalecolor Mediterranean Blue (SC-51).

SAGA

For SAGA they will be warriors with sarissas and I’m making 24 of them.

The Toxotai (Archers) and the Sphendonetai (Slingers) will be made from the Victrix Greek Archers (VXA017) and Greek Slingers (VXA018) respectively. They will be based on 25mm round bases.

SAGA

I will make 12 of each and they will be levies with bows/slings in SAGA.

The Peltastai or peltasts will be made from the Victrix Greek Peltasts, Javelin Men and Slingers. They will hold their crescent shaped shield the peltē from which they get their name. And they are armed with a set of javelins.

SAGA

In SAGA they will be levy with javelins and I will be making a total of 24 of them.

The war elephant will be made using the Unarmoured Indian Elephant Body 1 (EL01) with the Unarmoured Indian Elephant Head Trunk Up (EH01). On its back will be the Standard Three Man Howdah/Tower (EHW02) crewed by the Elephant Crew in Metal Armours (ELHC1), all from Aventine Miniatures. This will then go on a 60mm base.

SAGA

The war elephant will obviously count as an elephant. For those not familiar with Age of Hannibal, that is a unit of 1 costing 1 point, counting as 12 levy for victory points and activating as a unit of warriors.
