Amazon Army Review


The army is now officially complete. Of course, that doesn't mean I won't be adding units to it - got enough figures for another archery unit and spear armed cavalry unit lying around staring at me...

Another thing I really should do is snip the fans off a few fan bearers to make that light infantry unit up to six elements - they were a test unit anyway.

The Queen passing behind the Nobles in their chariots.

Guard heavy cavalry in front of a medium cavalry unit. I was sorely tempted to add a third spear/shield unit but haven't.

The 'line' infantry - two archer units in front, three spear armed units in the rear.

The spear armed units include two medium spear units flanking a Guard heavy infantry unit.

Two units of horse archers. The extreme left flank unit with the tiger riding officer is an actual conversion - archer top on cavalry legs and a new bowcase. The other unit is the original - an ordinary archer with the base removed and sanded between the legs until it fit on a horse. The horses have been angled so that the archers aren't shooting their neighbours!

The non-human component! Tigers and Pegasi with an enchantress riding a tiger.


That's probably it for units before Christmas - got some individual figures I can get on with before the tree goes, covering my painting station and ending painting until the tree comes down in January!

  4. Cracking army, now who are they going to fight? Or should that be whom are they going to fight?

    1. That's a bit of a thorny question. I should probably have given them horses from the '20mm' range of Ancients and had them fight various Greeks and Persians... or perhaps I should start a couple more 25mm armies?
