Alexandrian Macedonian 25mm BBDBA army

The Alexandrian Macedonians were my first Big Battle De Bellis Antiquitatis (BBDBA) army. It all started when my local hobby shop decided to not carry Foundry miniatures and put their remaining stock on clearance. Over the course of the next year I kept buying all the "World of the Greeks" range that I could, supplementing with Old Glory, Essex and Navigator when I couldn't get the Foundry equivalent at an affordable price. The results are shown below.

The pikes advance. Eastern Phalanx and old veterans take to the front

Lots of pointing things on which to impale yourself

Navigator (I think) later Thracians w/ spear or rhomphia

Old Glory peltasts - Normally I like Old Glory, but these were some of the ugliest figures I have ever purchased. By doing a lot of transplant surgery, hacking off limbs and heads, I was able to assemble about half a bag of what I thought were acceptable figures.

Nicely painted shields though!

The Peltasts

The Hypaspysts - probably they didn't have uniform shield designs, but this helps to distinguish them on the miniature field of battle from the pikes

The Greek and Macedonian Cavalry

The knight generals and companions

The artillery and camp followers

Note the unlucky fellow with the arrow in his chest.

The light horse
