Hi,
the day before yesterday, Sunday, December 30, 2012, we played the last game of the year, with a good battle between the Imperial Legion of Sergio and the Barbarians by Sandro.
We played with armies of 4000 points and 1000 points magic.
The battle was won by the Barbarians, at the last round of the game (12 °), mainly thanks to the performances of the Cimmerians mounted on saber-toothed tigers and by the Cimmerian Hero on saber-toothed tiger who killed before the Hero of the Legion on horse and later the Legato (Warleader). The death of these, resulting in the escape of all his command, caused the complete defeat of the Legion.
Up to that point the game was essentially balanced, the Barbarians having suffered the loss of both of their two Giant Creatures (a mammoth and a rhino), against the loss of a single elephant of the Legion. In addition, the Roman Hero had killed the two special individuals of Hugin and Mugin (the Ravens of Odin). In addition, the Praetorians on horseback were able to eliminate all the Barbarian Knights.

Just Brilliant all of it

Nice - what are the barbarian minis that you use (the ones on the sabre tooths and the mammoth in particular)?

Mirliton also sells them.

For the vast majority, they are the old Grenadier - Fantasy Warriors range, sculpted by Mark Copplestone, which had been put back into production in Italy by Nemo-Stratelibri at the beginning of '90. In 2004 they were again put into production by Mirliton of Florence.
In the old Grenadier-Stratelibri range, there was only the Hero mounted on the saber-toothed tiger.
Following our suggestion, Mr. Grazzini, boss of the Mirliton, made an upgrade putting the Barbarians Knights on the same Hero's tiger, thus obtaining a new very strong Unit of Cavalry mounted on saber-toothed tigers, for which we had done the profile to use with our upgraded version of Fantasy Warriors (Naran Fantasy Wars: see http://www.naran.it/ ).
The Giant Mammoth is also a wonderful piece of another former Grenadier, again now put into production by Mirliton.
This is the site of Mirliton: http://www.mirliton.it/
Cheers,

One more clarification:
the Knights on saber-toothed tigers you see in the pictures of our battle are not those Mirliton put in the catalog, but they are our (Naran Team) conversions we had done long ago, using the upper torso of some Barbarian warriors and the lower part of the body of the Hero.
Mirliton:

Since Mirliton has used the Knights Barbarians, who have the armor of chain mail, while we for our conversions we used the Barbarians shirtless (like the Hero), we did the double profile with and without armor.
Then, using the following model of the chariot of Barbarians (always Mirliton), we did those towed by saber-toothed tigers, buying them from Mirliton without the rider.
