Title: Wargames Foundry Huns
Post by: Firescale Whack on May 19, 2014, 04:00:20 AM: I have recently acquired some Wargames Foundry Huns and I was wondering If I would be able to use them as Mongols or Asian steppe nomads against my friends Perry Korean army. I know they are about 800 or so years apart :o but they almost look the part. Any thoughts?

There will be differences of course but for the most part they'll do :)

You could say that about almost any miniatures and still be right.
