I've finished (bar shields) another batch of 18 pikemen, this time rear-rankers for the Egyptian phalanxes. 8 were painted and kindly donated by Craig, and I just needed to add pikes, and painted 10 more in a similar style. I absolutely love the unarmoured Foundrys, they are a pleasure to paint! The chap in the blue chiton is a pleasing conversion from a hoplite, who actually looks quite Egyptian, rather than Macedonian.
Behind are 21 more Polemarch phalangites, at an early stage.
If anyone has any of the Foundrys in the straw hats, I'd love to buy or swap for them, a dozen or so would be very useful, indeed.
Rear rankers does sound unfortunately like Cockney rhyming slang...

Wonderful figures and project. Your mix of figures will put your pike blocks off the charts.
To pull this one off, you must be part man, part machine! ;-)

You remind me that I have had two boxes of phalangites in a drawer for two years - sigh

Talking of cockney rhyming slang, these are definitely worth a Butchers Hook.
