I've just finished my last unit for Alexander's army. It's the Agema Companions squadron. To make off a bit different I painted tiger skins instead if the usual leopard skins Don't know if that's historically innacurate, but I thought it looked good! I now have 27 units for this army - 140 figures in all. Attachments:

More superb work. Putting aside your predictably deft brushwork for the moment, what especially strikes me with these is the sense of movement in those riders and their mounts - it looks as though they are actually riding, not mannequins plopped on the back of horses. Smashing stuff.

Yes Alan. I already have 33 units of Persians to fight Alexander. I've just got 8 units left to go, then I can have my game. As I have to paint both sides, it has taken me 4 years to paint 27 Macedonian units and 33 Persian units, but nearly there now. I've just received an order of 5 of the 8 units, so will get cracking over the next few months. Who knows, it could all be over by Christmas!!!!!!

A long and winding road but nearly there. Are their plans for further ancient armies. An Indian one in 54mm would be amazing, elephants , chariots, bowmen and all!

I've just finished my Macedonian and Persian armies. Hoping to have my 1st game with them next week. The project has taken nearly 5 years to complete.

Absolutely brilliant Dave! Full credit to you not just for your wonderful painting/modelling skills but for your patience too...I would have fallen by the wayside years ago!
Cheers Anthony
