II/13 Samnites

I bought these OG figures back at NASHCON in 2004ish. I have been tinkering with them for some time now and finally got a wild hair to paint them. I varied the tunic color for my own sanity and only painted two shields per pattern to give it a little diversity.
The All and powerful General, Not! Cv General is here but when everyone else heads for the hills or trees what does he do?
I originally was going to paint the Ax into two legions with a 'command' stand for each. Those figures got used for some other army so away wen that idea.
Maybe I should call them Sam's Knights to give them inspiration for the open pool table like boards they might find themselves on?

Post Mongol Samurai Wb

This is the Wb Option from the army. I have become demoralized while working on the Bd option and have put this away for now.

IV/3 Anglo-Normans

Yes, Cheesie Cheater army. However, Since I had the Normans already it made sense to make the rest of the options. Tony gave me the wagon and I think the priests are from Museum miniatures. The horses are Essex and the two bow men are OG. Much to my irritation I was not thinking when I put glued two stands together to make the 80mm stand that I could not do math....it is actually 90mm. opps. People will just have to get over it.
The two spear and the extra Bw option
Here are the dismounts. It is a cheesie cheater army in my book. I wanted to do both the Sp and Bd option for dismounts however I really did not want to spend the extra time or pick up another pack of troops to make it happen so I just made it two Sp and two Bd per stand. I figure I will just tell people what they are dismounting into at the beginning of the game.

Low Countries Addition

Had a great time completing this army with the Pk General option as well as a support Pk for him. No idea if I will ever use this option but had the figures...so what the heck. Like the huge two handed sword for a leader, he must have pike envy?

I/27 Early Hebrew

I purchased these figures in an army pack from eBay about three months ago for 5 bucks. I guess nobody wanted to out bid me. Personally, I just wanted to play with a Ax General. Sounded like fun at the time. They have been sitting half painted for about two months and needed finished. I am trying to finish up all the loose projects before I head home from Korea.
I made all the Ax have shields and the Wb have none to differentiate between the two troop types.
