Very nice work! I like your idea for the crew. I may draft and convert some LoTR Khandish axemen into that role...

Great job. I don't know if it will prove harder to crew them.

Thanks guys.

Glued together for thickness, green plastic bases (Perry from memory), they are.

Also a nice link to them being called mangonels - I wasn't aware there was a myth!
