Just plonked down for a few armies. As goragrad mentioned, Noble Knight Games has had some deals on 15mm army packs lately. While their shipping is at times expensive, 20-50% off army deals is hard to pass up. ( and their delivery is prompt). Just got a Catalan Grand Company, Middle Anglo Saxon, a Later Swiss and a Fields of Glory Medieval French starter army.

During this current unpleasantness, I'm holding off buying new armies. But I figure "supplemental" orders are okay. Just sent off such an order to C&B Minis for Essex figures to bring an old V-2 army-pack of II/4e Warring States & Chin Chinese up to Purple compliance, with four Fast Hordes ("peasant rebels"). I've never ordered from C&B before, but, hey, FREE SHIPPING. Nice! I know little of the Warring States period. Who here knows something of this period to suggest for me a "rebellious" state or kingdom that might fit this "e" version. --Better than calling it "Other Chinese Armies".

Paul, I called my "e" list Wei. This Wikipedia article could prove useful en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wei_(state)Cheers,

A recent order to Timecast UK will help revitalise a number of armies. I have ordered true Late Roman army to replace the existing ones and more nomadic cavalry for the Bulgarian and Early Polish.

Dang! The Essex figures I ordered from C&B Minis this past Friday afternoon, arrived here this (Tuesday) morning. Got everything I ordered. Scary fast. And free shipping to boot.

Salutations ! should arrive from Merrie Olde so I can pick it up at H'con, good Lawd willin' and the creeks don't rise... Yes, It would really be nice to have a degree of normalcy creep back into life by mid summer. Its been a few years since I spent a 3 day weekend in July at the Lancaster hotel, but I very much enjoyed my trips to Historicon. Hope you all get to this year as well!
I must confess to have gone on a bit of a buying binge to bolster the 15mm medieval models I have to sprinkle into the current armies. Noticing that Noble Knight Games had been discounting certain model ranges I collect was too much an opportunity to overlook, especially since I notice the price on 15mm models has been creeping up in recent years. Paying less than $3 USD for an Essex infantry 8pack or mtd 4 pack with free freight seems like a no brainer. Now I just have to properly organize and label the Plano boxes so I can actually find the stuff to paint it.

HA!! I have always used Plano boxes even before I just recently got into DBA. When I built my 1000 man Napoleonic armies they really came in handy. One for each Nation.

Ah, I remember the days of 15mm Napoleonics. Man, 1000 piece armies. Whew, that just dwarfs my current medieval project. Something like that these days feels almost overwhelming. I guess that's why I invariably gravitate back to DBA no matter what else I'm into. There is something satisfying about how self contained it is and how both games and army projects can be concluded in a civilized amount of time.
Regarding Plano, I really should have bought stock in the company years ago had I known how much money they'd get from me over the years.

Early Achaemenid Persian Army on the way from Xyston. So excited that I made the war tower out of ice-cream (popsickle) sticks that I forgot to order the spears!

The order from Noble Knight arrived yesterday - packed and shipped the day they got the order. Pretty good considering the social distancing situation.
Showed the HOTT Dracci army pack to my nephew and his nieces and they were interested. Particularly in who would get to paint the dragons...

Just put in my first order for Khurasan Miniatures this morning. Very much excited to see what they look like. The pics on the website were very promising.
