From Jez Todd: Week Two Alexandrian Macedonian Part 1- 120 points

 Dear All 

Week Two post for me as trying to make at least a single post every week. This time starting on my major project for this challenge. I like playing Basic Impetus and through different challenges have built up my range of 28mm Impetus armies - Basic Impetus is perfect as you need about 10 bases for an army. Previously I have done Hittities, Persians, Sarmogitians (pagan natives who fought against the Teutonic Knights in East Prussia / Latvia area) and last year cavalry to expand my Late Romans to give a "Justinian Byzantine" option. 

This year am doing Alexandrian Macedonian as the perfect match up for my Persians and who can create a triangle with my brother Matt's Classical Indian army. 

First up some Greek cavalry - am using Wargames Foundry figures to match with my Persians. Followed the same basing style as well. 

Next some Thracians light cavalry. 

For the sarissa armed infantry, I really like the advancing pike pose but this always creates an issue to play with when lining up. As the infantry pike will be used double deep in all games, I decided to use a single base and just remember when the back ranks are destroyed and lose the double deep bonus in the game. Also just used a 3 deep line of figures that saved a bit of cask on figures but hopefully still gives the feeling of mass .... 

Quite pleased with the result - will be another second block to follow. 

  

 Points wise it is 120 in total with 50 for the cav and 70 for the infantry. All the best Jez
