As you may have seen, I've been plugging some gaps in the Steel Phalanx collection before they are retired - well the final things I felt I needed were some of the characters (they are such a big part of the flavour of the Phalanx after all!).
First, Ajax the Great - I'd put off getting him for ages, despite liking the mini, but now was the time to take the plunge:
Check out that hammer 😱
I also knew I wanted Teucer, the Agêma Warrant Officer - although I prefer the Atalanta mini (with her Spotbot) I couldn't miss out on this Feuerbach-wielding mini:
I also took the opportunity to grab Thamyris the Aoidos before he disappeared:
Finally, although he's not due to be retired, I also added Achilles v2 (Hoplite Armour) as I prefer it to the original Achilles and thought I should really have the option of the 'Individual of Mass Destruction' available to the Phalanx:
That probably completes what I want for the Phalanx - unless I find a Machaon someplace. I toyed with the idea of a couple more Ekdromoi and Diomedes but I'm on the fence - I do already have one Ekdromos and the Diomedes mini seems very slight. We'll see!
