Imperial Alexandrians (2)


Two units per Imperial Macedonian Pike Blocks without 3rd rank unit supports. I based my units differently from the Impetvs rules set mounting system guide for 15mm.

The bases are actually for 2/5mm to 10/12mm miniatures. Frontage 60mm x 30mm for Infantry/FP/FL, 60mm x 20mm for skirmish infantry S and 60mm x 40mm for cavalry/CP/CM/CL/elephants,chariots and artillery. These are actually half frontages from the 25mm/28mm mounting/basing system. The 15's do fit nicely on half 25's frontages. This way of basing, for me anyway, allows more units placed on the table top battle field playing areas. I think 8cm frontage per 15mm unit  is to big if one is to field 400-600 points army. But... ;) one can still use 8cm frontage for his/her 8-10 unit Army to play with Basic Impetvs rules. mind you I don't have a problem with my opponent, :) I play solo. I live at an area where there are no war gamers within the sight of my Light Horse recon duties :o) 






Impetvs Successor Infantry


These are 6 units of Xyston 15mm Pantodapoi Phalangites Miniatures painted as mid to late Seleucid's, but really these units or miniatures may used as other Successor Heavy Infantry (Pike men) I'm currently working on 8 more units.

Imperial Alexandrians

18mm Xyston Miniatures

Three units of Pikes per block for Impetus war game rules. The miniatures are mounted on 60mm x 30mm bases instead of Impetves 80mm x 30mm....anyway...I really doubt the Alexandrian Imperial Pike men were so colorful with their blues, purples, yellows, or any other pastel colors..... but anyway, they do look good   :o)
