15 mm Hellenistic Light Horse (Gladiator Miniatures)

Here're the latest additions to my Hellenistic collection.  The figure is clearly based on the Tarantine cavalryman on page 117 of "Armies of the Macedonian and Punic Wars".  As the author notes: "Tarantine may already have denoted a style of fighting rather than a nationality", so they provide some nice generic figures.

On the tabletop, I like to have a mix of different light horse types so they can be assigned to different commands and easily spotted.  These shielded figures should contrast nicely with the Forged in Battle Illyrian light horse (shieldless) I plan to add in the next month or so.

ADLG Stats Are Broken (For Now)

I have a penchant for data analysis.  I blame my scientific background, but as a wargamer it comes in handy sometimes.

One such occasion was when I investigated the myth of "Super Armies" in Art de la Guerre (ADLG) in 2018.  I've continued my interest in this area, but I recently uncovered a significant problem with the data I've been using.

15 mm Light Infantry Bow (Essex Miniatures)

The latest addition to my Hellenistic army is a bit of a mystery because I can't find the code anywhere on the Essex web site!  They are undoubtedly from Essex and, with the larger heads, I suspect they are one of their later sculpts.
