I had so many Macedonian Prodromoi (light Horse) Xyston packs (about 11 packs) So...I removed the swords to most of the sword armed figures and added lances/wire instead, and painted/mounted the figures as medium "Mercenary" Successor Cavalry which I needed... also painted 3 packs of Persian Xystophoroi and 2 packs of Paionian Light Cavalry.

Great work on all these Phil. The second group of Successor cavalry are particularly eye-catching and the colours you have use don the Persians really makes them pop. Xyston are my favourite ancient figures but I do find there is a bit of reattachment to be done after each game.
ReplyDeleteThanks Lawrence, Xyston Miniatures are the best, the sculpting style really stands out deep detail, and very dynamic poses, which makes them especially satisfying to paint and base...cheers!
DeleteExcellent work on riders sir!
ReplyDeleteThanks Michal!
DeleteReally lovely looking cavalry Phil! Xyston produce some of the finest 15mm miniatures.
ReplyDeleteTotally agree Christopher —Xyston’s stuff is on another level for 15mm. Their cavalry in particular just pops on the table—great poses, nice detail on the horses, and they paint up beautifully....
DeleteGreat skill glueing the spears. I have a Xyston Alexandrian army but glueing the sarissas put me off and never did it.
ReplyDeleteThanks Javier....Yeah… that’s a very common pain with xyston packs to put all parts together 😅 The sarissas on Xyston Miniatures Alexandrian phalangites look amazing when finished, but the assembly can be a pain in the backside and a little frustration!..... cheers!
