With an order of Aventine Successor pikemen on the way I thought I would play around with few colour combinations to see what might best suit the figures
The earth colours and light blues look good to my eye thoughts ??? P |

They all look good to me, so the choice would depend on the shield pattern. I like your approach. |

I don't think there was much in the way of a uniform color per unit, so you could theoretically use all of them at the same time in one unit! I know that gamers like to have units of all one color (it does help in game terms), but in reality I think the color palette was all over the place. |

If you wish Epirote- then in a couple of weeks there is a new Osprey coming out. I'm sure the Peter Dennis artwork will not disappoint.

Slightly revised, with a somewhat more attractive selection of shield patterns
JJA – I'll keep my eyes open for book – thanks for the heads up. P |

Oh jeez, you do make it difficult. No mixing uniforms in a unit? Cuz if you do you can have them all. Ok, keeping in mind I might choose different ones tomorrow… Top row from the left 1, 2, 4, 6
Bottom row from the left 1, 3, 4 So that's 7 pike units you'll need to do. |

Am going with this theme for the first unit (blues, brown and beige), but I can see me doing more in other schemes.

All of these look really nice. The idea of using digital fill in a line drawing is a very good one! |
