This may be of interest to some. The presentations are well documented (viewed the Rus and Leidang videos) and illustrated. There are only 48 videos, but do cover lesser known ancient and medieval topics. www.youtube.com/@balticempire7244/videos

Currently painting Early Franks, and will serve as Merovingian with the addition of militia (Sp).
These past years, many armies have merged to create double size commands of 24 elements. The old collection of Franks becoming Goths and Vandals, hence the replacement.
The order arrived Friday and the weekend was spent preparing the 96 figures for painting. This took time as many figures had weapons in contact with their torsos. Careful cutting freed the spears, swords and axes making a lively looking group.

Has anyone picked up on I/43b Scythian or Hu having I/14b European Bronze Age as allies? I/43b 300-19 BC and 400 BC - 70 AD I/14b 1400-701 BC Surely an error? Is there a confirmed list of corrections buried within this thread? Yes, Stevie grouped the list of corrections on page 5.

After a long hiatus, I now have an over whelming urge to get back into DBA. (It probably has something to do with me recently watching the show Rome.) So, I have brainstorming about what armies to buy and build. And, I really like the idea of modeling the 10,000 lead by Xenophon from Anabasis. I’m just unsure what list to use to represent them. Maybe II/7 Later Achaemenid Persian for when they were under Cyrus until the battle of Cunaxa? After that I’m unsure which list to use. Welcome back to DBA. II/5J Overseas Mercenary expeditions.would seem a better choice. The enemy list fit the bill, Bithynian and Later Achaemenid Persian.

This afternoon I looked through the ‘bits and pieces’ box before ordering any Dark Age figures. The search proved profitable. Blue Moon Norman knights (personality pack), 6 pieces. Old Glory Breton cavalry, 3 pieces. Thistle and Rose cavalry, 8 pieces (will pass as Scots, Welsh or Slav) Blue Moon Germanic cavalry, 1 piece to complete an element. The 18 mounted will make 4 command elements and 2 cavalry. Cleaning and assembling weapons, shield and rider to mounts will begin tomorrow. The cavalry are done and now the basing. Flags will be made later today.

A completed IV/13a Medieval German army (1106-1150AD)..of the Wendish Crusade 1147AD...based on the army of Henry the Lion, Duke of Saxony & Bavaria and brother in law of Richard I of England. I've tried a new basing technique to give a Northern European rather than my Dusty sandy look and I like the outcome. Danish and Early Polish contingents to follow once I've completed the Late Amorites. A photo is the fb page. m.facebook.com/groups/382414395294162/permalink/2232833510252232/or here postimg.cc/QBK4QJGcImpressive looking Medieval German army and painted in record time

Listening to the audio book “ The Jewel in the Skull” while painting. During the late 60’s, the Moorcock books were a favourite read, listening to the audio book brought back the images I had of the war towers and troops wearing animal styled helmets. www.youtube.com/watch?v=tpHxvsBXIFY&t=1532s
