Looks impressive. In reality a Macedonian Phalanx would present five spears, rather then three as shown here. So in scale would be even longer.

@Spartiatai300 - Thanks bud. Yeah, I left out two lines to simplify it. I still have not painted those guys yet. I might add them later and post a video with the Macedonian cavalry.

ARE THOSE JAVELINS OR SPEARS TO SCALE? THEY SEEM VERY LONG. Is that really how long those spears were?

[2paintminiatures]

@tenthousandyearsgoon - Yes. They are 18 feet long according to history.

awesome!it'll be cool if this is in 3D....but still you did a great job!

@figureshobby2010 -Thanks bro.:)

@2paintminiatures Also one thing which I noticed with all your Phalanx videos, the Hoplites and Phalangites seem to be moved too far away from eachother. Would look more realistic, and probably more impressive, if they are put in a denser formation. But yeah some nice videos.

@tenthousandyearsgoon That's a phalanx for you.

Wow that is a lot of miniatures to paint. Great job though on them. They definitely look menacing. Would have hated to see these guys across the battle fields.
