The wars of Pyrrhus of Epirus

(1/4) > >>

Axebreaker:
A new project centred around the wars of Pyrrhus of Epirus which first attracted my interest after a friend introduced me to his exploits a long while back and was rekindled when Keith from Aventine miniatures started producing incredible figures for the period. :love: I knew eventually I would have to start painting some of these up and now I have!

It will start with me collecting the Pyrrhic army and my friend Mike the Republican Romans. We have no deadlines as of yet so it\'s a painters project until it develops more.

I\'m starting it with my impression of the Royal Guard infantry pike. The idea came to me when going through the new Osprey Successor book
and I saw the Royal Guard in Purple helms which I quite liked and decided I would do unit in a purple theme[font=\'Georgia]. The armour is fuchsia which is a mix of pink and purple and so goes with the helm and shield I think. I kept plums and such all white to give a nice contrast to the purple. Except for the clothes I kept them uniform in appearance as I feel it gives them a more elite feel. I should also add the front rankers are deliberately more elaborate as they had the best
gear in every formation.

The army will be based for both Impetus and Hail Caesar.

Sorry about so many pics as I wasn\'t sure which to put in.
Thanks for viewing![/font] :)

I have Epitotes and Romans from baccus. I painted on of my phalanx with greene shields and black dogs on it^^

Bil:
I don\'t like purple and even less that much purple... but I have to admit that it looks impressive and is a fine paint job with a first class basing. :)

Thomas Kluchert:
Wirklich sehr schöne Figuren! Die Farbwahl gefällt mir sehr gut, auch wenn ich das Lila der Helme ein bisschen zu einheitlich finde - es gibt viele schöne Bilder, die die Helme nur teilbemalt zeigen (z.B. in dem alten Osprey zu Alexander dem Großen und seiner Armee). Wenn ein wenig Bronze oder Silver hervorschimmern würde, könnte das sehr einheitliche Bild der Helme ein bisschen aufgebrochen werden. Aber das ist, wie vieles in der Antike, letztlich Geschmackssache. Wunderhübsche Figuren und ein tolles Thema ;)

Strand:
Very impressive unit!  :thumbup: The purple reminds me of Slaanesh Space Marines, though.  ;)
