Pyrrhic stone throwers and slingers

I was hoping to post two units, but the other one will take a bit longer so decided to post just this one as it's finished and I can get it off the desk and into the cabinet. They are two skirmish units for my Pyrrhic army for TtS or Impetus.

I know you can field slingers, but I'm not sure if I can field stone/rock throwers however I thought they looked cool so decided to paint some up. If I can't use them as such then I'll use them as slingers or javelinmen or something.

The figures are from the fantastic Aventine range and were an absolute pleasure to paint. However, last I looked I didn't see these available for purchase as I thought about getting some more. Perhaps I just missed them or they will come back in stock at some point. The paints I used were mostly Foundry with some Vallejo as usual.

My next post will probably be some more Pyrrhic as that's what's on my desk, but there something else I've been wanting to do.....trying to stay on track. I suppose my next post is up in the air will it be focus that wins or the powerful shiny thing?

Pyrrhic Epirote Phalangite

 

Finished a new Epirote Phalangite unit for my Pyrrhic army bringing me up to 3 out 5 planned. I had forgotten how long it takes me to do one of these and is probably why they are spaced out rather then one after another.

I decided on a light blue for this one and quite like the colors. I'm trying to decide if  I'll do some more units this way or keep each unit an individual in their own colors. As mentioned they do take quite some some time to paint(for me that is) so I probably won't attempt another for a little while and for sure not this challenge, but not a problem as I have plenty of other units for the army to do!

The miniatures are from the superb Aventine range and I highly recommend visiting their site. If you like ancients you will be hard pressed to leave with your basket empty! The colors I used were Foundry, Vallejo and Citadel with some mig pigments for rock dusting.

I have some more Pyrrhic units on my desk at the moment so that will likely be next up on the blog unless I get distracted which can easily happen....
