XYSTON 15MM MACEDONIAN COMPANION CAVALRY

 

These are 15mm Xyston Miniatures Macedonian Companions. The bareheaded chap has to be Alexander himself even though Xyston now produce a specific Macedonian personality pack which contains the great man himself..
I enjoy painting Xyston Miniatures and I am seriously considering collecting some armies of my own. I can't decide whether to do Hoplites (Sparta vs Athens) Macedonians and Later Persians; or possibly the Successor states. Mind you Xyston will soon be releasing some Marian Romans...

Below: Some Xyston Hoplites have sneaked into this post. Alexander did employ mercenary hoplites after all. They spent a lot of time in reserve. Its as if Alexander didn't fully trust them in his battles.
