Pikes from Freiburg Late 14th c.
The DBA-Armylist says something about 2x4Pk for Medieval Germans IV/13b. I've got no idea what they're supposed to be. IMO they're too early, pikes in the 14th century?! But anyway, I like the figs.

The Army of Seleukos I Nicator
Yesterday I finished my first 15mm DBA Army: Seleucids II-19a. This army has everything I ever wanted to try: pikes, elephants and scythed chariots. All Xyston Minis except the Corvus Belli Elephants.
The army on the road to glory. The elephants are obviously not of indian origin and you might argue about towers on elephants in a seleucid army of this early period as well as the sarissa-armed crew. I love history but I'm not so rigid when it comes to details such as equipement. The ancient sources are so sparse that we will never know what's right or wrong. In the end I do what ever I like, as long as it seems plausible and as long as it looks good.

This blog is dedicated to ancient and medieval miniature wargaming. I'd like to share pictures of my painted armies and models, self made terrain-pieces and sketches of projects still residing in my head or on a piece of paper.
My main interest at the moment is creating armies and accessories, researching for historical or made-up scenarios and campaigns for the fast-play wargaming rules from "De bellis Antiquitatis" (DBA) with 25mm and 15mm figurines.
I use the blog-format rather unconventionaly. It is more like a scrapbook. And I update the older posts so keep checking. I recommend utilizing the labels to the left. So if your just interested in miniatures click the "Miniatures"-label and you will be presented with posts concerning painting, figurines etc. And don't forget to click on "older posts" at the bottom of the page for more. And many thanks for commenting!
