Description
Macedonian hypaspist, done for my project about Alexander the Great. The hypaspists were an elite military unit in the Greek army whose job was to guard the flanks of the pike phalanx, because the phalangites carried pikes so long that they were unable to turn arround in case that the enemy attacked their flanks. The hypaspists were equipped as hoplites.

Good god damn, you're killing it with this series. I'm not even going to go into it, but you've done an excellent job of capturing the feel of the Alexandrian soldier. That helmet alone.
People always forget about the blood, it must have been such a disgusting mess. They must have been covered in it by the end of a skirmish. and across the entire campaign? those veterans that followed Alexander all the way to the end, they must have waded through a sea of the stuff throughout their lives. I wonder if they ever became used to it.
Thanks

Every battle in history that had been fought with swords, axes, spears or any kind of blade, must have been an orgy of blood and guts. More than what I've done here.
Thank you!
