Age of Alexander: Alexander himself!

 Another unit done for a friends Macedonians. Alexander, not painted like the later European artists often depicted Alexander with blond hair, likely due to cultural symbolism associating blondness with virtue and heroism, instead with reddish brown hair. Also I have forgone all that purple silliness and went with more natural colors for uniforms.






As always thanks for looking.

Cheers
Kevin

  1. A fine looking stand of outstandingly painted figures! That touch of green really sets him off. The saddle blanket looks EXCELLENT!!

    WHAT? No purple! Blasphemy!
