Next purchase will be bombards for my Hundred Years war armies. Somehow they were missed out!

I have posted a new order with Legio Heroica for more medieval infantry and some cavalry. The infantry are Russians, essentially doubling the militia and adding peasants. The remaining packs are for the Swedish colonists of Eastland or Finland (IV/54d).

Just ordered Berbers & Cavalry to complete a III/33 list, a wagon and crossbow men for the Southern Chinese Dynasty army and A I/15 Late Amorite army.

It's all Essex Paul, I'm using the Elamite chariot(platform) as recommended for the Lch and the Amorites & Midianite(archers) from the Biblical range.
For the Chinese cart I'm using the XEQ15 cart with the solid wheels (I have one already). I initially bought 2 Pecheneg Museum miniatures wagons to use, but I prefer the smaller 40mmx40mm base which the smaller carts will fit. I'm adding Crossbowmen and Mule-holder to give a hap-hazard urgently pressed into service look.
As for the Berbers and Cavalry I'm looking at an outrageous 10 Lh/Ps Super Whimp war army for the III/33 Early Muslim North African or Scicilian army... Oh it can be made tougher by the optional troop options. 😊

I decided to pick up some medieval figures in 10mm from Magister Militum:
AOK13 Early Medieval Mounted Command AOK16 Scottish / Welsh / Irish Infantry, Javelins and Axes AOK9 11th-14th Century Longbowmen, no armour
I have never even touched a 10mm figure before, and I am interested to see what kind of detail they have.
If I was starting all over again, I think I would strongly consider going to 10mm for Biblical battles.

Placed an order with Magister Militum, to get some figures for some Hordes:
ALP3 Horde, Camp Followers, Boys, Women and Infirm CIR1 Civilians in Revolt NDM3 Numidian Javelinmen BUR4 Burmese Javelinmen Skirmishers
I find it interesting that when I started playing DBA, I was not a fan of Hordes (an opinion yet no experience playing!), and now they are one of my fav. troop types.

I've come to the conclusion that hordes and psiloi are the two least-appreciated troop types. Personally, they are my favourites!

On the back of finishing Carthaginian enemies for my Polybian Romans I’ve decided to finish off the rest of the Punic War armies with Spanish, Gauls and Numidians. All quickly delivered from Xyston and very nice looking!

Yeah - love Xyston too. Wish they were about 100 times more prolific and had a range to challenge Essex or Khursan. Just imagine Xyston doing Han Chinese or Khmer. I’d pay top dollar for that!

Awaiting delivery of some Essex Sea Peoples chariots and infantry picked up off of the TMP Marketplace.
Good place to pick up some bargains when members clean out their closets.

Back on the 3rd I placed another order with Alternative Armies. With discussion on TMP on metal prices having increased significantly and the 20% off sale along with free shipping over 100 pounds it seemed like a good time.
ADW03 Dwarf Pike 2 packs (20) BY3 Byzantine Archer 18 LR1 Late Roman Legionary 8 BYC3 Byzantine HC with Lance 25 BYC1 Byzantine EHC with Lance 20 BY1 Byzantine Heavy Scutatos 8 ME13 Lt Med Peasant Bill 9 ME29 Lt Med Peasant with Club 9 ME36 Unarmoured Pikeman 40 ME35a Knight with Halberd in Bascinet 9 ME35 Knight with Sword in Bascinet 9 ME34a Knight with Halberd in Sallet 15thc 4 ME34 Knight with Sword in Sallet 15thC 9 ME38 Heavily Armoured Pikeman 5 ME37 Armoured Pikeman 15th century 14 MEC23 Mounted Longbowman 9 MEC25 14thC Companion 3 MEC4 Frankish Knight 13thC 14 MEC7 Ministerialis 12thC German Knight 21 ME32 Longbowman 15thC 24 ARC7 Arab Camel Spearman 18 ARC6 Arab Camel Archer 6
Then on the 4th I contacted miros about his bazaar list and as he still had some items I could use I ordered them as well (unfortunately he has misplaced the Han so they weren't available although if he finds them I will take them as well) -
Creatures 1 VNT26 Cockatrice Alternative Armies 4 GOB4 Wolves Chariot 2 Dragons (small w/flying stands) Grenadier 1 Chaos Dragon GW Warmaster 1 Giant Eagle w/rider Peter Pig 8 6-9 Wolves Peter Pig Tamil or Hindu Indian 1 HTI1 Armoured War Elephant w/driver & archer Outpost 1 HTIC2 General on Elephant Outpost 1 HTIC2 General on Elephant Outpost 8 HTIC1 Foot Command (2xOfficer, 2xUmbrella, 2xDrummer, 2xTrumpeter Outpost 8 HTI2 Spearmen (3 variants) Outpost 8 HTI3 Javelinmen (3 variants) Outpost 8 HTI5 Tribal Archers (3 variants) Outpost 8 HTI6 Rajput or Later Swordsmen (3 variants) Outpost 4 HTI8 Cavalry (2 variants) Outpost Biblical 8 BS113 Sherden med. lnf.

Again, with metal prices rising and the potential (at least) of corresponding price increases for miniatures, it seemed to be a good idea at the time...
