(From RossM) The Last Post - 28mm Macedonians (60 or 71 points)

 The final post from me this year and its been great to be a part of this. This is my tenth year running and I have enjoyed each one. The camaraderie shown here is what this hobby of ours is all about. Looking forward to joining you all later this year to do it all again, granted I'll not leave everything to the last minute next time.

Now on to the post and the beginnings of a Macedonian army in 28mm. 


Foundry Skirmishers

Have opted for brighter colours on the skirmishers than I would normally use although I did use some dun colours across the stands to reflect the nature of the unit.




A & A Miniatures Prodromoi

Another brightly coloured unit and the colours are based on the description of the prodromoi in Heath's Armies of the Macedonian and Punic Wars. 



Only the riders were started and finished in this year's challenge, the horses have been sitting painted for some time now.



This stand of Greek Light cavalry is a generic unit that will be able to be used in the Macedonia and Greek armies as needed.

The last picture is of the horses for the Thessalian cavalry although their riders languish next to the unfinished Spartans, Hypaspists and mercenary hoplites all started for this project during the Challenge. 


Thessalian Cavalry sans riders

 This brings me to the final scores and there are two possibilities for this:

The first is a sub total of 71 based on

2 x 28mm Cavalry - 20 points 

4 x 28mm cavalry riders only - 20 points

4 x 28mm skirmishers - 20 points

3 x 28mm horses only - 11 points

This completes the challenge at 600 points, the threshold set 

or the second being 60 points

2 x 28mm Cavalry - 20 points 

4 x 28mm cavalry riders only - 20 points

4 x 28mm skirmishers - 20 points

This complete the challenge at 589 points. 

The decision lies with the Snow Lord himself. 

Stay safe and thanks for looking
