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.

They must have been so unwieldy to use (I suppose until you got the hang of it ?)
Great paint job again H.
Cheers - Phil.
Fantastic again! 8)

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.
Very nice work,

Thank you guys! ;)
