Outstanding. Looking forward to seeing the finished army. My workmate and I put in our orders today – I've got a pile of 15mm goodness coming from Splintered Light and Peter Pig.

Thanks!  The real fun will come with seeing everything painted and based together.  And I am excited about the litko movement stands I'll be using.  So should be a visually appealing little force.

If you are going to do a 15mm Norse warband you cant avoid the Copplestone barbarians:-

I am not going to follow this thread any longer...  I have too many things going on in 15mm as it is but love what you guys are doing  :)

The round multi figure bases are neat - never seen them with figures on before and I like the look of them.

I'm using the Xyston greeks with some centaurs from Eureka, with 28mm Bronze Age figures from Fenris as gods.

I am still trying to find a GW Orion figure (the latest one) to use as Cernunnos for the Xyston gallic figures (the gaesati characters are too good not to use in a skirmish game), the Warmodelling celtic chariots are just too nice to not have to go with them, so have the guy posing on the shaft and Boudicca to use as heroes .....

It started as I could do a force for less than a tenner idea and has morphed into a monster :) what with the movement trays (I went for an oval design which has roughly the same width as the diameter of a cd), fish tank temples and a large tree carved into a green man for the celts .........

So the Greeks are well under way, figures by Xyston, Eureka and Bronze Age:

Athena, Chiron and two generic heroes, with 16 Hoplites, 4 Centaurs with bows and 8 Greek Archers (slightly over 900points but painting a couple of extra characters and another god figure)







Took about 4 evenings to do a quick job on these - fiddliest bit was the shield transfers from LBMS, but worth it ...

The other option is to keep the bases the same size and say base a couple of miniatures up per base. You could actually get a really nice overall look that way.

I wouldn't bother adjusting the ranges. Some of those differences are literally an inch difference, doesn't seem like a lot to warrant it in my mind.



Cracking idea, would really look like big armies then :D

I've done a bit more work on this project now; some extra Gods and legends for the Greeks, and a warband for the Celts, and thought I'd take some pics outside in the sun on Sunday :)

Some shots of the Greeks with the added God and Legend (only one god per band so I could make 2 complete bands with this lot at a push, or a choice :))

 



 



 



 

The Celtic Warband; Goddess from Brigade Models (Celtos range), the Banshee is from the Reaper Bones range (28mm), chariot and druids from Warmodelling, hounds and other mortals from Xyston

 



 



 



 



 



 

And now to making a few bits of terrain ...
