Having just finished painting and basing the last of the figures I have bought or been given this year, I wasn't able to resist Magister Militum's offer of reduced prices on their remaining stock of Baueda figures.
Five packs of figures plus a tent for just under £21, including p&p, will allow me to assemble the (a) version of the Viking army (III/40). (I also have some spare figures left over from when I built the later (b) version.)

The really clever part is finding three other mugs to write most of it.

Plenty of Lh & Ps . Plenty of easy kills for the Bw in other words. 🙈 The subtleties of DBA, skb777. Do you take mainly Ps and hope your opponent has brought Bw, or do you take mainly LH and hope he hasn't? (Always bearing in mind that you will be using your own army for three games and your opponent's army for the other three.)

Why not have 1/2 BW range for javelin lights? They would be in greater danger of getting into close combat. Additionally, if the range was short enough, the LH should be in range to be charged by the target in the next turn, so they could be attacked easily.
....................... I don't understand why you feel a ½BW range for javelin-armed Ps would mean they were in greater danger of getting into close combat. Close combat happens when opposing elements come into front edge to front edge contact. Leaving aside the possibility of the Ps being the element which moves into contact - because that would be their choice - javelin-armed Ps with a ½BW range would be in as much danger as bow-armed Ps with a range of 1BW.

I’ve contacted the seller and he’s happy for me to put his email here and people to contact him direct. john_liu141@hotmail.com Note I have no connection or affiliation to this seller but have only purchased items via eBay. K Someone on the SoA forum was asking about the quality of the metal compared to the original Outpost ones. Can you help?

Taken from Aventine's Facebook page (with a couple of typos corrected). Another supplier riding off into the sunset of retirement.
"The Future of Aventine Miniatures
We are finishing up in September 2025 ie in 18mths or so.
We are just getting older and reaching OAP time.
We will finish the current range and add a few packs suitable for the start of the 1st Century AD.
We will also renew some of the older ranges by fixing things we think can be better and making new moulds where needed.
Thank you all for 15 years of fun and friendship, for all the support and encouragement.
This is being announced now to be fair to all, those that need a few bits to complete things and to prevent anyone starting a big project only to discover we are shutting up shop before they get it done.
We are open to offers for a solid well performing business.
Cheers Keith and Adam"

"May not post to the United States" And here I was just starting to think about a Republican Roman army. Plenty of other options available, claudermilk. I used Essex for mine, but since then Baueda, Forged in Battle and Xyston have all released a Republican Roman range. I'm sure some of the 3D printed ranges also have figures for this army.

Thank you. That is a really helpful tool. Cromwell is there somewhere the link could be stored for easy reference, please? I have created a new board under rules entitled DBA Data bases. Perhaps links could be posted there. Hope that helps. Thank you.

I'm getting : Not Found The requested URL was not found on this server. Additionally, a 404 Not Found error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request. Ditto.

Both Haardrada and diades have this army. However, I don't know whether or not they have included the dust throwing women.
