Back in February I mentioned some reinforcements for the Atlantian army. Since then I've added to the spears part of the army but I'm definitely lagging as regards the pikes. I've also managed to acquire more cavalry. Of course the elephants are not an issue - I can always cast as many as I want, plus I've built up a healthy surplus of old Minifigs archers to use as crews. I think the best way of describing the Atlantians is that it's a 'background' army - mostly using bought painted with minimal retouching, not a major effort, just quietly building up.
The thing is, non of this has really been intentional - it's just a case of 'they're cheap, could use them for Atlantis' - with rarely a thought as to when I'll get round to actually be able to repaint/retouch/base/etc them - or even if they'll ever be used as anything other than the original DBA/HoTT army.
Someday I'm going to have to stop this mad impulse to collect large armies- but probably not for a while yet.

This is the 'original' army -14 elements to allow some variation - the pikes were intended to be regulars, the spears citizen militia. |
|
Addition of more spears as previously reported. At this time I also got some pikes, spears and cavalry that need/needed stripping so aren't here. Need more pikes. |
|
Gradually got more spears and cavalry. Adding a couple more elephants seems to be appropriate. Need more pikes. I might replace the Cretan archers with these S Range Greek archers. The cavalry are early S Range one piece castings. |

One thing that always surprises me is the sheer number of different S Range variants there were. Even this lot comes in 2 different versions. |

Conan the Barbarian: The Anvil of Crom
This song is by Basil Poledouris.
Between the time
When the oceans drank Atlantis
And the rise of the sons of Aryas
There was an age undreamed of
And onto this, Conan
Destined to wear the jeweled crown
Of Aquilonia upon a troubled brow
It is I, his chronicler
Who alone can tell thee of his saga
Let me tell you of the days of high adventure!
I like those pikemen!
ReplyDeleteI've over run my shelf space by a little bite so need to put up some more shelves. Naturally this means I've been thinking about making some of existing armies bigger since there'll be more room.....
It is a bit strange me saying 'need more pikes' but it's true. The other... let's see, 8-900 or so I've got are the wronmg kind.
DeleteHappily storage space isn't an issue. Finding things can be though.
