MAC-05C – Three Phalangites with White Shields
The white shields of MAC-05C give collectors another building block for a unified Macedonian pike formation.
Three figures may appear modest when viewed individually, but the phalanx was fundamentally about multiplication. Add MAC-05C to the other white-shield groups and the character of the display changes dramatically.
The soldiers' smaller shields reflect the practical requirements of handling the two-handed sarissa. Protection depended not only upon armour and shield but also upon the depth of the formation and the projecting pikes ahead.
This set can occupy a front, middle or rear rank depending upon the arrangement of the wider collection. When several C variants are combined, the repeated white shields provide a particularly strong unit identity.
Available through The Military Workshop – three John Jenkins Designs white-shield Phalangites for collectors building the Macedonian infantry formation one disciplined rank at a time.
