I've convinced myself I gotta have what is arguably DBA's crappiest army, I/63 Paionians. (See Stevie's rant about this army here.)
I'm not jazzed about my on-hand options to build it. Xyston actually makes "Paionian Cavalry" and the General is a dead ringer for the description in the Purple Commentary. Thus far, I have refused to buy Xyston cuz they're the poster boys of scale creep. My one-man boycott has been less than successful, however. And, they look really gorgeous, so...here goes. All Xyston. (I rarely mix ranges.)
The LH (Gen) and second LH are easy: One pack of ANC20079 Paionian Cavalry.
For the 4Ax (Gen) and second 4Ax Hypaspist elements, I had been thinking of ANC20074 Macedonian Hypaspists, but I think "Jim1973" has a better suggestion: ANC2007 Agrianian Javelinmen. Add in a pack of ANC20110 Hellenstic Musicians & Standards to spiff up the command elements.
For the Fast Auxilia and Psiloi, their Thracian Peltasts and Thracian Archers look about right...unless someone has better suggestions?
