It is just so easy to buy a whole lot of figures more than you can get painted.<br /><br />My Ancient Greek and Medieval armies are based on Tin Solidier figures and don't mix in that well with other figure ranges. I have Dark Ages army that is taking shape and uses a many different figure manufacturers. Some of the figures in this mountain might end up in that army.Sun of Yorkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07315805432481558574noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-430244424351512966.post-29315689541991503912016-08-29T22:10:54.738+08:002016-08-29T22:10:54.738+08:00They are pebbles on another mountain.They are pebbles on another mountain.Sun of Yorkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07315805432481558574noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-430244424351512966.post-22117826336494952262016-08-29T22:09:01.097+08:002016-08-29T22:09:01.097+08:00My existing Napoleonic armies are French and Pruss...My existing Napoleonic armies are French and Prussian.

Well 2016 is nearly over and I have completed Tuareg, Attalid Pergamenes, Welsh, Swiss, Early Armenian, Later Hungarian armies from scratch and painted up lots more bits to enable my armies to morph into lots of different options. I recently completed a Cilician Armenian army after a impulse purchase off EBAy at a price too cheap to miss. I dont have any more armies to complete from the mountain so I purchased some more castings to morph my Muslims Arabs into Delhi Sultanate. as I need at least one more choice for variety! I can field at least 5000 AP of Arab Muslims yes thats 5000 not 500! I still have lots of bits left over from bk 2 and some from bk 4!Drew Jarmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16917651375834541415noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-430244424351512966.post-10784255785471991162016-08-28T23:55:54.449+08:002016-08-28T23:55:54.449+08:00not to mention magister militum phalangites and xy...not to mention magister militum phalangites and xyston gauls!Stretchhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08735635719622814674noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-430244424351512966.post-4756777578492524612016-08-28T22:11:46.264+08:002016-08-28T22:11:46.264+08:00Lots of potential for complete units therein.
