Hi John, they are all Foundry; nice minis, about the same size as the Aventines.

Here's another eBay purchase; perhaps a less wise one than yesterday's auxilia. Each phalangite is clad in a magnificent purple linothorax, and someone has written "Perdiccas" underneath each element. They are only an average paintjob but look good en-masse.
[Image]The reason that my joy is not entirely unconfined, is that I hadn't realised form the ebay photo that the bronze on them is not my usual brass shade, but instead a much redder (and wronger) Dwarf Bronze that is going to look very odd indeed next to my other minis. I might try a brass drybrush over the top. Anyhow, plan is to paint 8 more minis to match, replace the guardsman with the hoplon in the front row with a 9th phalangite, and see if I can't get them looking half decent. I think I'm going to need a lot of pikemen, this year...
