Embers can always be coaxed back into flame with the right application.
A touch more difficult finding inspiration for painting tents.

A bit of an Excalibur moment there.

Just got a new Sky box, connected to the internet. Never had this before. Watching West Patrician Roman v Attila's huns on a 32" screen! Just weird ... Tony A. in high def!
32" crotch We all take away things from our various experiences, I'm glad yours was... sizable.

Book 1 is the chariot book. Love the chariot. Love life. Sorry, pictures turned out a bit bigger than expected.

They call it " Mission Creep" don't they?
I need a couple of these guys but how do I justify international postage? I know, I'll buy more!

They promptly lost 4 of 5 games last night, prompting more than one of us to say, "Neo-Babs really suck!" --Good thing we don't take winning or losing too seriously. (Grins.) I've often found that being the prettiest is some salve to the indignity of a right royal shellacking, and they do look like some of Babylons finest! I like the standards too, may have to borrow that idea when I get around to refurbishing mine.

Helmets? What TV has taught me is that combat efficiency increases markedly the fewer helmets evident. Your welcome!

I typically go for a lighter brown just so spears and other important woody things stand out a bit at arms length and don't fade into the background. I also try to do the same thing with the actual figure and the base, contrast them enough so the figure pops out of rather than fades into the base.

Although it does seem to have a bit of a Othismos vibe, I have to say I prefer to be distracted from Rugby League too. I've also enjoyed the videos and your radio show voice, a voice only a lifetime of hard liquor and chain smoking can achieve.

Between the time when the oceans drank Atlantis and the rise of the sons of Aryas (around about the time DBM evaporated around here), I had considered this army.
At the time I had planned on using plain Greek hoplites for the majority of foot with the remainder being mercenary Campanian hoplites. The mounted, treated similarly, would be Greek, Campanian and Tarantine figures. This was never to be, though I did manage a DBA Campanian army three or four years ago, the main draw for me was to build, basicly, a Greek hoplite army with a bit more colour and some exotic options.
So I think it perfectly reasonable to pack your phalanx with feathered mercenaries, both for historical accuracy and for a bit of martial display. I used Essex Campanian hoplites, similar enough but distinctive enough to stand out from the local citizenry.
I also found Jeff Champions Tyrants of Syracuse books of interest as it covers much shenanigans of many dodgy blokes.

I find GW products are really overpriced I'm afraid. Last time I looked it was 6 euros for a tub of wash! Yikes!! 🤔 To be fair, your not buying a product, your buying into a lifestyle choice! In the grim darkness of the future there is only price gouging.

I think when it's intentional it's called a feature.
