For those of us on a budget (and thes...No worries!<br /><br />For those of us on a budget (and these days, that's most of us), interchangeability is a plus when collecting an army. There's also the perennial question of what to do with the odd units we ended up buying because we liked the look of them at the time (guilty as charged, your honour).<br /><br />The great thing about Pontic armies is their huge variety; everything from Thureophoroi and pikemen to chariots and screaming spiky-haired tribesmen. <br /><br />That would be an ambitious project, to say the least, but it's quite apparent that you enjoy a challenge - keep us posted on any developments!<br />Evan Hugheshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18107866906860803155noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5227525544754109991.post-79046133362104635132013-07-27T06:50:44.486-05:002013-07-27T06:50:44.486-05:00LOL!

Those scythed chariots did not work out quite the way they were supposed to, perhaps in more ways than one. <br /><br />Ev, that is a brilliant idea! I once painted a very nice Pontic army for Impetus but when Impetus didn't catch on here, I sold it. I've got a Dailami army in the works but after that, I'll give this some more thought. The "portability" factor is a big plus. Thanks!

It's the mighty warband of the Gymnopyges! <br /><br />Impressive work as always; do you have a Pontic army stashed away somewhere that these chaps can join? <br /><br />I can imagine Mithradates having to issue occupational health and safety warnings to the men before battle; "Now those of you WITHOUT the proper safety equipment, and I cannot emphasise this strongly enough, please stay well clear of the scythed chariots, and yes, I'm looking at you, Galatians... You can't do the chariot trick on these vehicles, remember what happened to poor old Olorix!"Evan Hugheshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18107866906860803155noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5227525544754109991.post-72976354120684998252013-07-26T14:41:27.611-05:002013-07-26T14:41:27.611-05:00Wow!
