Knights - managed to cobble together 10 from the bits box though i'll only have six in this list
Mortar with converted handgunners as crew - using up spare bits has made this a pretty cheap project with a lot of small individual touches.
Wargaming blog for three Leeds based mates old enough to know better.

Group shot from a while back - very simple two stage brown wash used
Wraithlord conversion - one of my vavourites to do as the original model is very static looking - cutting into the knee joints meant i could get a more dynamic pose.
Group shot with the Vypers in the foreground - some of the nicest platstic kits produced by GW at the time.
Guardians in the foreground to show scale - have another Wraithlord to finish for these guys - one rainy day maybe...Some of the sergeant and extra casualty figures are very characterful
Some of his converted cavalry with the HQ in the background
Lascannon teams as supportThe first few turns saw duncans persian cavalry threatening the Thebans on the Spartan left flank whilst his archers came forward to ensure we were definitely fighting in the shade. Frustratingly his levy infantry kept well out of reach and all the Spartans could realldo was hold the centre. On the left the Thracian light infantry came forward in a mad rush to intercept the cavalry, a gamble that very nearly paid off but in the end the cavalry managed to grind them down and persued them from the field.
Towards the end Dunc managed to flank the massive spartan unit with his Immortals, eventually supporting them with his levy in the final few turns whilst his light cavalry broke into the rear. Whilst the Spartans typically held their ground, the Theban hoplites, held down by heavy armour and threatened by flanking cavalry were unable to move in to provide support and the game ground on with few decisive moments - in the end we had to settle for a somewhat unsatisfactory draw but we'll kick of the 2007 season with a 1000 pt league - this time with bloody turn limits....
Historically accurate phalanx formation. Ahem.
