Ok I know an army is never finished but I did finish off the last eastern pike block for my 20mm Successor armies meaning both armies are complete to the original target I set myself when I started this project last year. So here they are on full parade

First up The Army of Korragos (Western successor) as detailed here

and secondly The Army of Karanos (eastern successor) as detailed here

lots of pictures and info on the whole project here on my blog

I will certainly re-visit these armies at some point (though as you might have noticed I'm on a fantasy gaming fix at the moment) I already have some extra units for both armies in the lead pile to increase the pike blocks and add extra light infantry and heavy cavalry.

The Eastern army's Indian allies could be expanded into an army in their own right (in fact I already have a load of Newline Indians to do just that) or could be morphed into a Seleucid or Pontic army with a few extra units. The Parthian Division could also be expanded into an army.

The Western army could be morphed into Alexander's army or a historical early successor army (can I say Pyrrhus ). While the Greek division could be expanded into army for late hoplite warfare.

For now though I'm just going to bask in the glory of actually finishing one of my projects.

Very nice work! Feels good to have them finished!

They look great! If I ever got into ancients, I think it would be Successors that would get me there!

Thanks guys.

Yes the period after Alexander's death gives you armies with access to so many varied and interesting troop types. Much as I love a good Roman or barbarian army they always feel a little one dimensional compared to the Hellenistic armies.

Yes, that's it exactly. Such a range of troops.

Really nice and a great job in the One True Scale grin

Thanks.

The choice of 20mm really came down to cost and storage space. They are big enough I can still paint them like I would 28mm but cheaper to allow me to build bigger armies. Also Newline Designs miniatures are just really nice.

Very cool. Glad there are people keeping New Line profitable!

Thanks. I do think Newline do some lovely stuff I'm a big fan.
