Companions

Just a small update as I haven’t managed to get too much done due to work commitments.

 

First though, a massive thankyou for the Golden Button.  It is very much appreciated and totally unexpected.

 

 

I’ve painted up the Companion Cavalry that I have.

I have also added movement trays to my cavalry and ordered some movement trays for my Phalanx.

I did experiment for a while as to how I was going to arrange the models.  It seems that they fought in the wedge formation and this is about as good I could do without having to have a really large base.

The Wargames Foundry painting guide has an excellent article for painting horses and the colours to use for different breeds.  I highly recommend this book.  It came in invaluable when I painted up a Warhammer Bretonnia army several years ago.

So far my army looks like this.  I really should add another two trays of Companion Cavalry but that will require me to order even more figures, so that may have to wait for a little while.

Can’t have Philip II / Alexander III’s army without that companion cavalry! Great addition! 😀
