It`s been a while since I posted some hobby stuff but I haven`t been lazy. A new Infinity the game army have come into my possession:
The Assault Subsection, more commonly known as the Myrmidon Army or “the Steel Phalanx of ALEPH”, was created by the AI as a response to the unstoppable menace of the Combined Army. Commanded by Achilles and forged in the crucible of war, the Steel Phalanx is an unyielding force worthy of the Trojan War’s epic poems. It is a shock force with a focus on brutal direct assaults, and the chief weapon of ALEPH in its personal feud against its fearsome alien counterpart, the EI.
I love Greek mythology and it`s ancient heroes. In my youth, I`ve read about the myths of the heroes of the Trojan War and of Homer's epic poems, the Iliad and the Odyssey. I imagined these ancient Greek warriors as a bright, idealistic and heroic force. That made me very exciting painting and playing the Steel Phalanx of Aleph. What`s even cooler than these ancient heroes? Very simple: the ancient superheroes revived by an artificial intelligence to fight the Combined Army, an alien force attacking the human sphere!
In my mind, these heroes wore bright shiny gold armour and I always wanted to try Gold TMM for a Sci-Fi army. Therefore I went with a TMM Gold and Silver colour scheme and took new directions. I looked for good metallic colours and found the best:
The Metal`n`Alchemy Range from Scale75. I really love these colours!
Enough talk, now let`s get to the meat and potatoes, the pics of the golden army of ALEPH: The Steel Phalanx.

I also took some pice with black background:
The next wave of miniatures is already on the painting table. Can`t wait to splash some paint on them!
