nice :)
Looks really clean so far :) Also, not all the same models for every unit. I love there is some variation between units
Real formation or just posing?
I would like to know this as well. Please let the answer be "nope, not just posing! :D"
Half and half. Right now they don't hold formations for very long and devolve into a mosh pit. I took this shot right as they started to fight.
But in the future we would like to make combat less chaotic and more organized.
Most famous use of the term Syrian Wars is actually for those between the Seleucids and the Ptolemies. Roman-Syrian Wars might be the correct name here. Great pic though, bring on the Seleucids:)
This is most true. :)
the phalanx need to be more tight
Not necessarily. The phalanx had open order, close order, and locked shields. When in close order, they could form to "locked shields" by the rear rows filing forward and "locking shields" with the fore ranks. At least, this is what is surmised (as far as I know, exactly how they closed ranks was not described in detail by ancient sources, we can only speculate and try for ourselves to see what works and what doesn't).
