Most of the photographs are of 15mm Essex figures, though I have a lot of old minifigs and Jacobite figures painted up. This was one of the first armies I painted, about 1983. Most of the original army has been either repainted or thrown away and replaced with Essex figures. Alexander the Great and his Macedonian armies have always been my favourite period. Surprisingly I have fought very few battles with this army. Pike were too good, and too boring in DBA/DBM so no one would play me. Now we are using Armati and the Persian army is actually some use, it is getting a bit more fighting.
