Now, the coats *should* be more of a yellow, but the references I was checking used a desert yellow, so I didn't spot the difference until I had a few bases done. So, here's a rather drab Sir Gilbert Talbot's regiment of foot.

This week's main project: Macedonian pezhetairoi (foot companions)
Going back to (predominately) traditional method for these boys and yes, it does take longer. I still have the shields to do before I base them, though.
I painted these with the intent of using them with Warlord Games' SPQR skirmish ruleset, a game they're sadly phasing out due to the very understandable reason that they make a lot of games and can't focus on all of them. But, I might base my SPQR warbands on square bases anyway, where applicable, for use in Hail Caesar, their mass-battle ancients ruleset. Maybe not these ones, though. If I get into Hail Caesar, it'll mean painting these by the HUNDREDS (seriously, the starter army for the successor states has a full hundo of these pointy lads... and a war elephant!) and I might want to find a faster scheme?? idk... I'm more excited about the bronze age range for HC, but I can see myself getting more into these other periods too.
Oh no, am I becoming a...
historical wargamer???
