Title: Garrison Nemedian force Royal Armies of the Hyborean Age.
Post by: nickdives on November 15, 2022, 10:59:21 PM: Managed to get hold of these chaps, some from my original "good forces" from the late 70s. Based for Royal Armies of the Hyborean Age, 12 Cav, 24 Inf or 30 Inf for guard. The line Infantry have been painted in 12s but can work as 24 fig units.

The chaps are all from the Garrison S&S ranges except for the Crossbowmen and Adventurers who are from the Garrison Medieval range.

I looked and looked at them for ages but when I was ready to buy they has stopped selling them.

Post by: nickdives on November 26, 2022, 06:19:38 PM: Great news!

I am basing them for using Royal Armies of the Hyborian Age, still available to download. I have been quite anal about army/ unit sizes not always so with paint schemes and will use markers so I wont need to have figures based singly. I will also use them with the Fantastic battles rules

Post by: swiftnick on November 27, 2022, 01:19:48 PM: I will have a look for those rules although quite committed to Dragon Rampant. At last rules so simple even i can remember them.

Post by: nickdives on November 27, 2022, 02:17:22 PM: Royal Armies are very 70s! Never tried Dragon Rampant although a quick look shows it probably not best suited to a 20 x 8 table!, are you UK based?

Title: Re: Garrison Nemedian force Royal Armies of the Hyborean Age.
Post by: swiftnick on December 11, 2022, 06:26:03 PM: I have downloaded the rules and basing looks reasonable and very much simplified.
