My starting point is existing my existing armies are Classical Greek (X 2, One Spartan and one not), Early Achaemenid Persian, Mid-Republican Roman, Early or Late Carthaginian, War of the Roses (X 2, any type) at about 1000 points each, except for the Persians who weigh in at 1400 points. So, having convinced my wife that having many thousands of miniatures to paint is a healthy thing - which, perhaps, doesn't say much for either of us
, what would it matter to add just a couple hundred more????Here are the picks, generated by random selection from the table of contents:
Swifter than Eagles - Later Hebrew
Lost Scrolls - Italian Hill Tribes
Immortal Fire - Thracian
Rise of Rome - Later Ptolemaic
Legions Trimuphant - Early Visigothic or Early Vandal
Decline and Fall - Italian Ostrogothic
Wolves from the Sea - Post-Roman British
Swords and Scimitars - Middle Serbian
Oath of Fealty - Post-Viking Scandanvian
Storm of Arrows - Later Medieval Swedish
Eternal Empire - Tartar
Empires of the Dragon - Later Horse Nomad
Blood and Gold - Mayan
Any thoughts on selecting one of these that would be fun - emphasis on the fun (i.e., not one-sided and not boring) - to play against one of my existing armies. I'm not doing tournaments, so winning against all comers isn't required. I've looked through the famous FoG wiki of Madaxeman's and have few ideas from that; and, of course, we all know that Tartars and Later Horse Nomad are evil, evil, evil...burn the witch evil.
Anyway, this is what boredom will do for you....either that or it's subliminal messaging from mini manufacturers.
). Several BG's of armoured lancers would look very good. Although it would encourage me to add in a Late Roman / Early Byzantine foe. Would be fun and, I suspect, F****ng superb.
But my highlight was my LF charging some of his auxilia in the rough and surviving. (They had to to stop a possible intercept)
