Ah ben non! La dernière place je suis abonné!

Je bloque déjà la date!

I bought a lot of stuff from them recently and I must say that it is REALLY nice terrain, IMHO the best commercially available terrain out there.
Their stuff is made with the wargamer in mind: the trees, rocks, marsh patches, etc... are separate from the underneath ground so they can be moved to ...

I would get 4 TC instead of the IC and 2 FC. My thought is also that 2 Bgs of pikes is a bit too few so I would get 3x8 pikes.
Also, only 1 Bg of MF (your thorakitai) is not going to be able to take and hold terrain on his own so I would get a Bg of 6 thracian foot to work in tandem with the ...

The Later Seleucid is my favourite army (though I'm still struggling to use it well). I have tried a lot of configurations but this is what I'm trying at the moment:

4 x TC @ 35Pts
3 x 8 Phalangites (Protected, Average, Drilled, Heavy Foot, Pikemen) @ 48 Pts each
1 x 6 Thorakitai (Armoured, Average ...

a quick comment:

The seleucid list is not legal as you cannot have more than 8 bases of romanized argyraspides.

Cet été je finis toutes les options pour mon armée Séleucide que j'adore toujours malgré ma complète ineptitude à l'utiliser...
Et je compte également bien peindre l'armée Mid Republican Roman qui attend sagement son tour dans les cartons.

Depends also on the quality: average in 6's, superior in 4's.

Nah, average drilled in 6s are really not a good buy IMO. For drilled I think the choice is superior in 4s or none.

Couldn't agree more. 4's superior and drilled is what I choose too.
What I wanted to say (quite poorly I admit) is ...

On the flip side, "Miniature World Maker" is really nice stuff, but is 'textured' so might not be what you're looking for.

"Miniature World Maker" has had some negative press from people about the hills. I've never seen any. I really like his 'fields' and 'towns' and 'marshes' etc.

Ah, by the way... Museum Miniatures have an Urartian auxiliary in their Neo Assyrian range.

The fall of the Seleucid Empire (again... )

As I told you this weekend, Late Dynastic Egyptians have the potential to be real killers (and you already have the hoplites... ).

Another try at the Neo Assyrian list:

4x TC
1x8 HF/MF Av Arm Drilled, 1/2 LS/Sw 1/2 Bow
2x8 MF Av Prot Drilled, 1/2 LS/Sw 1/2 Bow
2x4 Hch Sup Drilled Bow
2x4 Cav Sup Arm Drilled 1/2 Bow/Sw 1/2 LS/Sw
1x4 Cav Elite Arm Drilled LS/Bw*/Sw
1x4 LH Av Unpr Undr Bow
2x6 LF Poor Unpr Undr Bow

You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means.

(You just made me wanna watch Princess Bride again...)

You might want to consult the two Osprey books on roman military clothing.
Quite a lot of info in these (though much is speculation).

Pour rappel, en impact, seul le 1er rang combat ... donc, ton 2ème rang (ou 3ème rang dans le cas de LF) peut tirer en phase d'impact.

Thanks Delbruck.

I thought you had too but looking at the list it seems like that is not the case. I suppose it could also represent the commander having a bad day, ie He's only as effective as a FC or TC.

You have to take Hannibal as your CiC if you want the "Hannibal in Italy" options, and the ...

Very cool! Thanks for the info. I'm doing ancients in 28mm. Any recomendations for figs?

It's your lucky day, there are several new successor ranges just out or due out soon:

Gripping Beast's polemarch range , 1st Corps new successor range , Crusader rank and file range , Empire Models new ...
