Some pics of my Lysimachid army used at Rampage 2011

First of all, the phalanx...

The elephant that stomped Pyrrhos, Perdikkas and an greek Ariarathrid subgeneral into the ground...

Last ones of the phalanx with supporting troops.

The figures are all Xyston, from the Macedonian and Thracian ranges

Hi,the figures look great.    But if you don't mind me asking why such thick bases ?

To handle elements without touching figures.

the bases are 3mm wooden ones from Litko.

I tried using the 0.5mm and 1.5mm (the AxS, El and KnF are based on these) , but they tend to warp- particularly the Cv bases. I've now switched over to the 3mm ones. I should probably paint the edges green to lessen the effect.

Have you tried plastic ones? Just score them and your basing material should hold.Also they don't tend to warp.

I like the figures, great.
A bit late now,but chamfering the top edges of the base by 1 to 1.5 mm would alter the appearance.
They would look thinner when painted, but I'm not sure about the textureing or handleing.

Seriously, though, a gorgeous paint job. I also have a Xyston Macedonian army, but my boys aren't anywhere near as pretty.
