Had a bit lof luck getting more of these chaps, Cavalry being particualy difficult to get hold of, Caliver only have 2. Gundermen Pike, Zamoran Spearmen/Town Guard, Hykranian Lancers, Khojan Knights (Painted as Mercanaries) Mid Western Lancers and Aquilonian Knights (Some had lost axes in the dark depths of time so a few new bits added) These chaps are based for Fantastic Battles and will be in a game "By Crom it's Conan" (But not as much detail as a modern sculpt!) at Legionary, Exeter in May.

Now it is off to do Italian Wars at Beachead!

All very nice, but I particularly like the Hyrkanian lancers as an example of how varied painting distracts the eye from the fact that all the castings are the same (ignoring horse variations…)

As I have been painting old Minifg MEs, I am coming to think that there is a virtue in getting reasonably painted figures on the table quickly; the details are mostly lost en masse, so simpler is probably better (IMHO, of course) for figures intended for mass battle games.

Wonderful to see them come to life!

More Minifigs S&S chaps, allies of the evil wizard To-Me-ku-Pa for his invasion of the West. Nomadic horse archers, Turan infantry, Khojan Infantry and Zamoran Infantry.

A few more, some Shemite Horse Archers, more Desert Nomands, another unit of Hykranians, 2 more units to do, and a un it of "Zamporians" painted as Turan infantry.

Once again simply wonderful. Wish Dave at Caliver would get more re-released!

Thanks Dozing, my self and one other have sent him a load of figures to be used to remake the molds,
Cavalry are the main thing missing, but hopefully he will be able to use the ones I sent. Not sure of the time scale though.

You have done a great job bringing the Hyborian Age to life with this project!

Few more done, Hykranian Indantry, had a surplus of officers so gave a few axes, Zamporian Town Guard painted as Turan Immortals, Black Legion and Mid Western Spearmen, (most of the Mid Western Spearmen from Australia, but I need lots and they are difficult to get hold of!)

Wonderful - these armies are really shaping up nicely.

Some of the Alexander Nevski Knights that formed the basis of my Good Knights back in the late 70s. These will now need adding to to build up 3 full 12 man units to sit along side my S&S stuff, 3 Knights (Aquilonian) 6 Knights (Nemedian) & 3 for the Nemedian Guard
