Who makes the best 15mm Eastern style Phalangites with trousers? Most of my figures are the mini-figs which are closer to 18mm. Have looked at Xyston ANC20107 – Pantodapoi Phalangites which look pretty good. Anyone have anything to recommend? |

Xyston's are good.
Others I know of are:
QRF/Freikorps HG05 – pretty good. Quite chunky. I find the QRF ancients which are chunkier are those I prefer once painted.
Xth legion. Out of production but very occasionally turn up second hand. Similar in style to Xyston – perhaps a bit smaller. Essex do an Eastern phalangite but it looks from the photo that he doesn't have trousers. As a matter of interest, what are you using them for? |

I purchased museum minis medium foot phalangites with trousers on from their Seleucid range. You can get them in a 45 degree position or pikes standing straight up. The pikes are actually attached to the figures so no need to purchase separate spears. The quality of the metal alloy is good, and the casting clean. I am using them for my Mithridatic army for DBMM.

I'm using them for Pontic and Seleucid armies for Tactica. Just wanted something a little different from the Macedonian style figures I have now. I see Xyston didn't pay their TMP bill. I assume they're still in business. |
