I really have to make some kind of inventory of my lead supplies before anything can be nailed down.
Just working off the top of my head:
I know I have at least 120 Saxon infantry, plus some Saxon archers, and then 30-40 Gothic infantry, and 30 or more Gothic/Lombard cavalry, and some 30 Frankish infantry. These guys all are right for the Northrons, so I'd imagine we should have 2 Northron factions at least (it's also why the Spanish game was appealing to me, Visigoths, Vandals and Swabians would all use these guys).
I know I have more than 10 but less than 20 Huns, not enough for any real Easterling army. I have a scattered number (20-30??) of Egyptian and Arabian infantry and 10-20 Carthagian Infantry, again I don't think I could really field a Southron army of any real sort. But I may have more than I think.
For Romans, I have 12 super-heavy cavalry, 10 medium-ish cavalry, and 20 or so lightish cavalry, and at least 60 infantry of various sorts (maybe quite a bit more), at least one solid army, maybe 2.
Of Picts and Irish, I think I have a dozen horse and at least 40 foot, maybe enough for a faction of Westerlings. Perhaps they could be used in combination with the Huns and some of my more generic barbarians to make up the Bastarnae.
Especially once I get my new stuff painted, I could probably field a solid generic medieval army of some sort (20 or so mounted knights, 15-20 long bows, a dozen crossbows, and a random assortment of dismounted knights and soldiers).
I honestly don't know how many Orcs I have. I had 30 on the table 2 weeks ago, and that wasn't all of them. Probably another 20 at least. But, I know I have less than 20 Old Ones. I've got a decent number of skeletons and zombies too.
I'd kind of like to avoid putting Dwarves, Elves, Gnomes, Halflings, Giants, Dragons or Trolls on the table for this project. I'd like the game to be more of an ancients-surrogate game rather than a full-blown fantasy emulation.
I have a few bolt-shooters, and maybe a catapult or 2. I could put two stone forts on the table. I know I made some siege ladders at some point too.
I can come up with a unit of Westerlings with a variety of two handed weapons. I also have an army of armored warriors supported by shortbows, although the full harness may be for the wrong time frame.
ReplyDeleteSomehow I have a full 120 figure dwarven army as well.
Giants, undead, goblins and bugbears - check!
I have some Easterling hero types as well including two ogre magi.
It occurs to me that we can have campaign-level players who might never be able to make the miniatures level game. Perhaps we could invite Mr. Zollers and company to play the zoomed-out resource management campaign version as well?
ReplyDeleteI was thinking that might be a good idea too.
ReplyDeleteonce upon a time i used to be pretty good at paper mache and not half bad at carpentry dunno if i still am, but i do feel like i don't contribute enough so if you need any terrain built or anything really that can be done with wooded products let me know
ReplyDeleteThanks for the offer, we may take you up on that Robert. We really should have a terrain making festival sometime.
ReplyDeletelet's schedule a painting party sometime in the new year.
