Complete: Pikes and Pachyderms

I have previously posted on the nearing completion of my 10mm Macedonian/Successor army for To The Strongest rules. Today I managed to snap a picture of the army in its entirety. 






And above is an image of all it's glory: 6 pike blocks, 3 units of mercenary hoplites, 2 bases of hypaspists, 2 units of Thessalian cavalry, 2 bases of purple-clad companions, 3 bases of slingers, 2 bases of archers, 6 bases of "elephant screens" and 3 commanders. 

While I had the armies out of their storage trays, I decided to lose a few staged battle scenes featuring Successors versus Romans.







Some Successor elephants with their screen of bow-armed skirmishers face off against pesky Roman velites. 

 

Next up we have some pike-armed phalangites ready to skewer Roman Hastati, Princeps and Triarii. It's been mentioned in the posts covering my Roman army but the red shield reflect Roman legions and yellow shields are their romanized Latin allies. 

Lastly we have a rather gallant charge of Companion cavalry led by their king. Opposing them are Roman cavalry who are led (from behind) by a Consul. 

With three TTS armies complete (Macedonian, Roman and Carthaginian), I hope to get in some games with them and also ultimately paint up my Indian and Persian armies.
