This is where the bulk of my armies are located.
All are designed for the Armati 2 rules, which we prefer because they allow us to easily play a game to a conclusion in a club evening, whilst still having an army that looks like an army, on the table.
Regular Ancients players may spot that all the infantry are double based to a 40 x 30mm section, rather than the 'standard' 40 x 15mm single rank. Once you try this, you will soon see why, it makes storing, moving and playing a lot easier, and the sooner other rule sets adopt it, the better off everyone will be.
I regularly play in 'competition' weekends around the UK with these armies as well, although the group of @30 players is much more of an occasional club, now, than a proper competition - and most of our weekeneds are organised on an 'armies already provided' basis, so if you are interested, then you will be most welcome to join us, with no requirement to bring any figures with you for most of the 'rounds' we play. Join the ArmatiUK Yahoo group for any details. http://uk.groups.yahoo.com/search?query=armati+uk
This is, I think, a particular encouragement for learning a new set of rules, as the weekeneds in question allow you to play 4-5 games with a different army each game, chosen by someone else who should know the pitfalls of army selection, so you need not worry about taking a stinker of an army with you and getting thrashed every game because of it. All the while still getting to try out armies you probably wouldn't consider having yourself. (Of course, there are plenty of other reasons why you are likely to get thrashed ... although for some reason, newcomers do tend to do a lot better than some of us old hands at these things now).
Anyway, the sub pages show the individual armies. DBA 3 for my own usage, herewith the base sizes for DBA 3
* 60 depth can be used for wedges ala Alexander or Scythian Nobles ** Dismounted Kn as Bd can be based as 3 |
