Ok , well i played my first game today with the Kushan list provided above by Richard

I didnt do anything too complex withthe army , i basically just marched straight over the table and gave the Romans a couple of bl**dy noses withthe elephantsand cataphracts , no finnese or fanfare ,,,,,, then it ...

i didnt actually answer your question ,at the moment , with whats available i'd be batting for Persians , Greeks , Alexandrian Successor , Romans , Celts and Carthaginians ,,,,,,,, then theres the biblical ranges and the much later mediaval ranges .

good luck , tom

Like you i am also painting two opposing armies in 1/72 for FOG , Romans and Galatians .
I have several armies in various scales for several different periods but i'm always drwn back to the 1/72's .
Ive not found a problem picking a period in 1/72 plastics that i really like , all the "big names ...

some scale armour was made from split horses hooves ( perhaps other animals too ? ) , usually used by the steppe peoples and other Eastern nations .

Its been recreated by a re-enactor group i know and the colours range from creams , yellows, greens and greys , as the scales cure they also change ...

" argggggghhh " i just found some 1/72 plastic elephants made by HaT , they are the right size for a 15mm army , i think i'll paint them up and use them and even though my "Middle Eastern " looking figures arent strictly Kushan in appearance ill use them as a substitute until i get right into the ...

wow , thankyou , thats exactly what i was looking for in a list , and i can actually understand it in that format

thanks again Richard ,

i think i've misinterpreted what a Kushan army has in it , i have loads of spearmen left over ? i must have doubled this army up as something else at some time ...

Hi All
I hope someone here can help me , i currently have a 15mm army of Kushans based for WAB , it was painted nearly ten years ago and has never been used even for WAB games , i always had a soft spot for the Kushans , ten years ago no-one beleived me they were inthe DBM book , now i see them ...

G'day Andy
Depending on where you are in the world a Biblical army in 28mm metals could actually be allot cheaper than you think , especially with the Aussie dollar the way it is compared to the Euro .
May i suggest you have a look at two of our best figure manufacturers here in Australia , "Eureka ...

I have noticed the surprised look on fellow wargamers faces when i present my latest painting effort of 1/72 painted figures to the table whether it be my latest ACW , Napoleonics or Ancients . Presenting a pile of unpainted plastics in a little heap and then showing an army fully painted of the ...

i pre-coat the bases in half sand ( painted and drybrushed ) and the other half in flock . Once ive painted the figures i flock each indidvidual base and glue him down with a dab of PVA glue ( cheap , and as long as the whole underside of the base is coated provides a very good seal and bond ) once ...

thanks "phase " , answered my question , i'll try wire pikes first

Hi Tony

The broom bristles are plastic are they not ? therefore they would be the same as the plastic pikes supplied in the Zvezda phalanx figures .

i think the idea is to avoid using plastic for the pikes , unless the broom bristles you have found are a little stiffer ? , if so this might be a ...

Hi Quintus

i'd be more than a little interested in what you come up with for your armies re which figures you're using , especially the Phyrric . I use the "DBA Fanaticus" site as a gudeline for what figures should look like and who can represent troop types .
I'm also a fan of the Carthaginians ...

you have plenty of time with this one Mate , i wont have my army finished till ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,tonight

nah i have a few WW2 projects to finish first and i want to really check out these rules too

This will be my order of FOG 1/72 priority schedule , Rebublican Roman , Medievil , Helenistic army

Hi Steve

Even though i havent even seen the rules yet , i think youve already got a 1/72 opponent over here in the Western Suburbs

Hi Steve
yes i plan on a medievil army in 1/72 as well but i cant afford the SOA book just for one list , the period isnt really a favourite of mine so hopefully i'll download a free list from somewhere, the iminent release of 1/72 medievils from Italeri is the driving force .

Hi Hammy
Hmmm , a ...

yes , FOG , FOG , FOG

ive been discussing with people at the club , i havent seen much interest generated yet , but perhaps after Caesers Challenge ?

there certainly isnt any interest in 1/72 gaming apart from my little group , and even then they're not really into ancients , mainly ACW and WW2 ...

Hi Steve

that wasnt me that replied re: sheild , that was Hammy .

i do see what you mean regards scale creep , i just had a look and compared some unpainted figures , there are definetly some that wont easily blend in and if i didnt know better i'd think they were smallish 25mm metals .

In ...
