Welcome to Fanaticus dpd. Actually, without knowing it, you have inadvertently preempted a little project I’m currently working on...although I’ve used a completely different approach. (This is being playtested and should be ready for posting in about two weeks)Here is a sample of the front cover:- (The picture is an altered scene taken from the 2006 BBC six part series“Ancient Rome: The rise and fall of an empire”, and it shows Caesar’s outnumbered veterans facing Pompey’s newly raised legionaries at the Battle of Pharsalus in 48 BC)Although your idea is not related in any way to mine, apart from the name, I do think your suggestion is still well worth pursuing. It has several similarities with HoTT 2.1, which also groups Sp & Pk together, groups Cv & LH together, and as HoTT has no Ax type troops, I like to use a modified version of Wb for these. See the first page of this for details:- static.wikia.nocookie.net/fanaticus-dba/images/3/33/DETAILED_CRIB_SHEETS_for_HOTT_2.1.pdf/revision/latest?cb=20190123092614

I finally have a knead to use green epoxy putty for modeling (bad pun intentional): I have some 15mm Irish bonnacht warriors with dodgy axe heads (missing or deformed). Any suggestions, hints, clues or recommendations for working with green epoxy putty on such small volumes is appreciated. Web site or video references would be great, too. No passports, licenses, or counterfiet money needed, thanks! Buy more figures and pass on the hours of frustration and possible ruined carpet that will come with liquid green

I’ve always thought that it would be hilariously funny if on those Neanderthal or bog people reconstructions they turned the clay head to face the camera and it had a giant penis for a nose...”Yes, that’s what we think the person looked like”. (“You need therapy Stevie” ) I think you may have found the one point the entire forum can agree on.

You may have my praise when you pry it from my cold dead hand, but I want it back clean and topped up when you have finished with it.

Neat, but feels like they need a few more scars or warts or wrinkles - I expect the statues were somewhat idealized... It is hard to be beautiful all of the time

What if there was a pub at the top of the hill? A canny place to put a Pub. Once you labour to the top you feel like you've earned that drink! A wise man may also put one at the bottom of the hill, I would enjoy walking up and having a small sherry at the top. However I would def prefer to eat my Sunday lunch and get hammered at the pub at lower level.

Today I looked at the Macedonians that are waiting patiently in the undercoated que, behind them were some 6mm Persian horse archers then fatigued I sat and stared at the 6mm Russian Nap cavalry who look longingly at their completed infantry units. From under the chair the rest of the box of Baccus Russians complained and wondered if a Russian DBN force would even be ready before their French opponents arrive.
Overhead a bulge appeared as the chattering hordes above stamped their feet as army after army of either unpainted, partly painted or put together but not started forces protested.
The poor sods still on sprue couldn't even stamp their feet and from the warp un bought forces hoped someone else would buy them.
