Maybe in the days and years to come, when Mammoths and Thylacines(or some sort of bastardization of them) walk the earth again, these old relics might be scanned and 3d printed to your hearts content.
Their image and the ability to make them physical held for eternity, or at least until the old men that treasured them fade from memory and the files forgotten or accidently deleted.
Probably about twenty years I'd say.

III/4. Early Byzantine - City racing factions Irr Hd(F). GO GREENS! Highly motivated, aggressive, lack of military training and equipment but no doubt armed to some degree.
Google Nika riots and you will discover football hooligans have been around long before football was invented.
IV/75. Timurid - Hostage screen Irr Hd(I). Highly unmotivated, unarmed, unwilling, must be driven towards enemy.
Human shields aren't new either and why they might perform less effectively and be slower to close with enemy than City racing factions is pretty self evident.

Could you not have said all of that about 2.2, 2.0, 1.0? Embrace change and progress Bob, rules fluidity is the bold bright future we all yearn for!

We all have our fetishes but, generally, we keep them to ourselves.

Some figures almost look to have a life of their own before a lick of paint, yours are now ready for bloody adventures!
Also in time for some mood viewing next year.

Anyone care to recommend a good book on Philip II of Macedon, with or without that needy kid?

May be worth having a look at DBN as well, I play it in 6mm and it is great. Do you mind if I ask how your basing your figures for 6mm DBN?

The DE BELLIS FICTIONALIS (DBFi), David Brown, take on the Free Peoples at the Battle of Five Armies.
3:16 BATTLE OF THE FIVE ARMIES - FREE PEOPLE - 2941.
Cold. Ag 1. WW, Rv, H(S), H(G), RGo, M, BUA.

Notional command at the Battle of Five Armies was exercised jointly between the eminent persons present; with Thorin, Dáin, Thranduil, Bard and Gandalf there was plenty of talent available. Generals which are not single-element commands must, if present, command all troops of their own race. The Elf King rides to and from battle, similarly messengers and scouts are mentioned but their form is uncertain, the Elf blades wield a "sword gleaming with a chill flame". Dáin's Dwarves' armour may qualify as Bd (S), the troop scale has been stretched a little for Dáin’s small force. A single-element Dwarf command can represent Thorin, his retainers and perhaps include Elves and Men coming to his rescue. Eagles and Beorn are not compulsory as they could have arrived after the battle was resolved. Lake-men seemed to have had a standing militia as they form into companies when attacked by Smaug, hence the optional regular status. The total of Men and Dwarves must not exceed the total of Elves. If Gandalf is not used as the C-in-C one of the other non-eagle generals becomes the C-in-C. If Gandalf is used he can substitute for one non-eagle command’s general. If no Dwarf general* is used they become part of the Lake-men command. Dwarves and Men may not rear-support each other. Beorn can be part of any command. No more than one element of Human Bw (S) can be used
DE BELLIS FICTIONALIS being a mashup of DBM 2.1 and Hott, so about three times the size of a standard DBA/Hott army. Not a hundred percent sure, but I believe the "David Brown" mentioned is the Evil Gong guy.
These rules were available on a Yahoo group many many moons ago and seem to have evaporated along with most of that time. His Middle Earth and Hyborian lists were incredibly extensive.
