@Titus_Vespasianus no problem, I used white scar spray (any white will do) then contrast paints: blood angels red, stormfiend and I forget exactly what green I used but i think it was militarum green. Hope this helps.

Spartan hippeis were real. None of mine are wearing bronze armour except for the helmet and I put the shields on to look cool. They’re using javelins as well which is lighter than a spear. I know cavalry wasn’t used much especially by the Spartans but they were used.

Something you could do if you want a little contrast to your Spartan Cav is add white stripes to the crests. I also really like the addition now by Victrix of the banner and how the shield transfers also have a banner transfer matching those shields. Did the banner transfer sheet have maybe different colored versions of the banner transfer with the shields? I wonder if you could contact Victrix to see if you can get bitz from them. I am sure they probably have bad sprues that they might normally throw away or recycle that might have perfectly good capes or the like... that or 3D print them. Because yeah, I can see the frustration of wanting to do Spartans with capes and just not having enough capes.

@thewarchesttownsend7595 23 күн бұрын

Hey Tom thanks for the comment! I completely forgot to mention the banners that come in the shield transfer pack but yes they are a great addition. There’s quite a few coloured shields that come with the banners but sadly only one colour for the transfers I bought. Adding white stripes is a good option but I think I’m actually quite happy with the cavalry as they’re now honestly. I have suggested to Victrix on their website and instagram to perhaps (if possible) produce a sprue of just capes/cloaks which people could purchase and use for any era of historical miniatures.

@derek6631 24 күн бұрын

I wish Victrix had made a more varied version for the Phalangites as they are rather "at rest" and the Hypaspists are equally static looking. You could easily use the newer Hoplite set and add Macedonian helmets and shield transfers to make more dynamic Hypaspists. I have completed my own Macedonian army and posted on The Miniature Page Ancient Gallery under "My Pokey-Man Collection" if you would like to see. I used Warlord's Phalangites to create the angled sarissa effect which is what we see in the movie. The movie costumes are good and look fine but they do no depict the best thing about the Macedonians which is their colourfully painted helmets and armour. This is something which looks great on the tabletop as a distinct feature. So maybe if you do an elite phalanx (like the Silver Shields) you could introduce these coloured elements.

@thewarchesttownsend7595 24 күн бұрын

Thanks for the comment. I totally agree about the static poses and I am considering using other kits to add a more dynamic look but we shall see. I also agree about the movie costumes and my idea of basing it on the movies might change as I was originally planning to use a purple scheme instead, again we shall see. I will be covering the silver shields as well. Sadly I couldn’t get the miniature page ancient gallery website to load however I will try again later

I wish I knew more on the history and what was done historically for a better guideline to suggest. If you are not completely happy with your phalanx Athenians, I could see adding white stripes to some or even all of the crests. If there is a leader of some sort for each line, even in your head, give them Red and White (or just give them the Blue and White and leave the others Blue). The over all commander, I could see all Red or all Blue. A tri-color is an idea, going Red, White, And Blue, or Black, White, and Blue... even Black, White, and Red. I would do some test runs to see if you like it. Or do something like White every other and then do the other colors... again, not sure how it would look and if you would like it or not. I do think your cav turned out great, as painting horses can be very difficult.

@thewarchesttownsend7595 Ай бұрын

As always some good ideas there tom. I will have a think about it and see what happens. Historically the Athenian marines which were deployed on the triremes had red crests but I think perhaps a mixture might look good as well I.e blue and white, red and white, solid red, solid blue, black and white, solid black. We shall see. Thanks for the suggestions.
