Mikeygees, very well done.
Thanks for your contribution.
If i havent started in 28mm i would choose those FIB miniatures.
Great painting and terrain ideas.

Mikey, those look great! Like Rui, I started 28mm already although 15mm is really tempting, especially considering space and cost. I'm looking at using Tribal and I do enjoy skirmish games in 28mm. But those 15's look great!

@Rui. Looking over my old Wargames Factory ancient German cavalry, I've decided to use GB shaggy ponies instead of the plastic horses that came with them. The horses have saddles and tack, which isn't what I imagined for this period and they look like a pain to modify. So, I've 12 plastic horses up for grabs - no charge except postage. If you or any one else is interested, send me a PM. It may take a week or two to send them off, we live in a little village at the moment and my wife has the car during the week, so it takes awhile for me to get into town to the post office.

Mike, that is beautiful work!

Are you going to have this ready for Enfilade next year, or maybe even before that?   

[mikeygees]

Yes Enfilade. Maybe before.... say Drumbeat?

I have also contemplated this project in 28mm. I have a ton of Ancient Germans in 28mm (Foundry, BTD, Warlord) that could work in a pinch ignoring of course the occasional Gallic helm, and more iron weapons, than bronze. The next step would be to purchase some Foundry Euro Bronze Age figures in bulk...

It looks like there will be a few clan wars coming up soon!
Wonderful paint jobs, either in 15mm or 28mm.

As said before, my (late) bronze age figures are all Myceneans and Hitittes.
Currently all still in the Lead Mountain, but I'm tempted to start working on them soon.
Myceneans are mostly Foundry (old Perry range) and a few Redoubt. The Hitittes are Newline (cheap for good qualitiy), but the plan is to mix in a few Foundry Hitittes.

Oh yes - no pressure though for a January showing   

[Jagannath]

This thread's great - fantastic work MikeyG, I've just today unpacked a few packs of FiB ancient Germans and Celtic civilians for a Bronze Age skirmish project. Great too see someone else has thought the same.

They won't hit the queue for a few weeks so I'll post them once they're painted.

Really interesting thread! I used to have a stack of the old Foundry Bronze Age models but sold them off...and am now hankering to do them again, as you do. Anyone here played 'Tribal'?

[rumacara]

I have the rules but unfortunately i havent tried yet.


Mikeygees again a great painting and lots of inspiration.

Wimvdb, James Morris and Jagannath feel free to post here some pics and some ideas. Scenario ideas are also of great use for all.

Tribal is a great game! I've been using it with primitive humans, my Savage Core Simians v Neanderthals and Cro-Mags, and for Aztec skirmishes. Cool system, with new expansions in the works.

I am thinking that the new Frostgrave barbarians would be a good base for Northern European Bronze Age warriors.

There is also the old Grenadier Barbarians range of figures, sculpted by Mr. Copplestone. They are now sold by Mirliton in Italy, but there is also a retailer in the UK I believe.
I think they would look great as N.-European barbarians.
