Hellenistics Review

Hellenistics Review

Well it's March and I still have bare metal in the reserve box (what a surprise!).  On the plus side there has been some recent progress:

4 - pestiferous pachyderms screened by 7 - Agranian (or Rhodian) slingers

16 - Thracian peltasts plus 11 - rhomphaia-armed kinfolk
(couldn't decide what to put on their shields)

So now I have almost filled one tin box and have all the light cavalry in another.  Here's the current (fully-painted) list:

         4 - Elephants                                 7 (x2) - Scythian horse archers
10 (x3) - Reg Kn(F)                               7 (x2) - Thracian light horse (jav/sh)
  4 (x3) - Reg Kn(F) Generals                 5 (x2) - Thracian horse archers
  4 (x3) - Thracian Cavalry                      5 (x2) - Bactrian light horse (jav/bow)
  3 (x3) - Greek Cavalry                          5 (x2) - Greek light horse (jav only)
                                                               5 (x2) - Armenian horse archers
22 (x4) - Reg peltasts                              
  6 (x4) - Cretan Reg Bw(I)                     25 (x2) - Slingers Ps(O)
30 (x4) - Pikemen                                   24 (x2) - Javelinmen Ps(O or S)
  8 (x3) - Lykian peltasts                          17 (x2) - Bow Ps(O)
11 (x3) - Thracian Irr Ax(S)
16 (x3) - Thracian Irr Ax(O)

Also moved some figures to the 'Lydian' box:

4 (x4) - Hoplites                                       5 (x2) - light horse (jav/sh)
6 (x3) - Reg Kn(F)                                   3 (x4) - Reg peltasts
2 (x3) - Irr Ax(O)                                     1 (x2) - Ps(O) jav/sh
Need a break from this era so will finish the hoplites on my board (but not their shields) then move back to the, much neglected, Zulus.
