more pics.

Not as detailed as pendraken ones, but stripes are easier to paint (and glue on to the base).  ;)

I believe The Macedonian sarissa was longer, about 6.50 meter. Antiochus had a 15.000 strong Macedonian type falanx at Magnesia, so these guys look just the ticket.

Not to mention heavy and strength-sapping. Mind you, you could always rest it on the shoulder of the man in front.  :D

I second the great painting comment BTW.
