Thanks very much for the offer's of help.
I always tried to buy or paint up three of each army, so that I could play Big Battle DBA. So, I'm finding that with all of these figures I can field a legit DBA 3.0 army in most cases. I'm still in the process of going through all of my armies to see which ones I can't update. Three armies ,that I know for certain, are my Teutonic Order , War of the Roses and Burgundian Ordonnance. Some of the armies just need to be rebased.
Thanks again for your help.

Hi Everyone Thanks very much for your replies. The armies that l can change, I’m in the process of changing . But I have some that were professionally done and there isn’t anyway for me to get them redone, since that painter has passed away. Being on fixed retirement income, I just can’t go about spending on DBA, like I once did. I just want to enjoy the game again. Thanks again I have been lucky enough to have a good professional painter as a friend and on a couple of occasions when trying to bring some painted armies way above my skillset up to code I have asked if he could match the standard of those ones. I was lucky enough that he did and my Maurikian Byzantine and Scots Common (15th Century) and Galatian were upgraded without a hitch
Cheers

Originally I allowed all 2.2 armies (but of course played as Bob noted as the 3.0 equivalent) but that was intended to make the transition as smooth as possible. I remain hopeful that players will slowly convert their armies to 3.0 versions. The changes are based on the research that went into the new DBMM lists (most is not so much new research as new theories on old research).
I paint all of my own armies and love painting 25mm but hate painting 15mm. So not surprisingly all my many 25mm armies (now often 28mm) have been up dated and added to and are often big enough for Big Battle. For 15mm I just use the same two armies which did not changed only slightly so I (eventually) managed to bring them up to 3.0 standards.
Most of my games are historical battles so I'm not as concerned about the tournament scene. For historical battles I find myself adding figures all the time - to do new battles or just expand the ones I already run. Likewise we do campaigns and the requires some additional ally types. So I really only worry about troops that were at a particular historical battle and in what numbers, if this works out to create a 12 element DBA army so much the better. Not to mention near complete Ice & Fire armies for most of the great houses of Westeros. I'm just looking for an excuse to buy the new Perry Brothers Mounted Agincourt Knights so I'm looking around for a new army or an army to expand that needs more knights.
Good thing I like to paint.
So surely those old professionally painted DBA 2.2 elements can represent something in some battle somewhere. Use them for that and just create a 3.0 legal army for tournament play.

You need an excuse?
