Polybian Roman 10mm DBA Army

This 10mm Polybian Roman DBA Army is the matched pair for the Carthaginians.  The figures are once more Pendraken Miniatures.

Carthaginian 10mm DBA Army

Have finally managed to finish painting a Carthaginian DBA army in 10mm scale.  The figures are by Pendraken and were a Christmas present from Andy (Christmas 2018 that is!).  I scaled up the bases to put more figures on per base.

The first elements for a Thracian DBA army - the 15mm figures are by Xyston, painted with acrylics and gloss-varnished.

Early Imperial Roman DBA Army

Next up in the collection of DBA armies that I painted for my friends' birthdays is this Early Imperial Roman army for Orhan.  The figures are mostly by 'Forged in Battle' but there are also some Xyston and Essex in there too.  The photos below cover all the options for the army except for camels.  There is also a choice of regular legions or the Prateorian cohorts.

Alexandrian Imperial DBA Army

Finally got round to posting these photos of a Macedonian army that I gave David as a birthday present in November 2017.  At his request, these form an 'Alexandrian Imperial' DBA army - representing the army of Alexander at the height of his power following his conquest of Persia.  The Macedonian troops wear more regular uniforms with some Eastern elements (for example, some of the pikemen now wear trousers).  The 15mm figures are by Xyston Miniatures, painted in acrylics and gloss varnished.
