Warhammer Ancient Battles?

Great more shit you guys wont have time to paint.

I would prob get them from the Old Glory range, ive always liked their figures, and i got this 2 places that gives good deals on them. Most of my FoW infantry is from Old Glory range and they look pretty good, not as good as the battlefront ones, but good enough for me.

What you talking about, my stuff is painted. Well, the stuff I play with anyways

I'm looking at old glory now. They got a deal, buy 5 get one free or buy 10 and get 3 free. Where do you buy from? If you play egypt what are the other armies from that time period? Or what other army you looking at?
Bill you home yet?

Have you looked at the Fields of Glory gaming system instead of Warhammer Ancients?

I get my stuff mostly from this place http://www.warweb.com/old-glory-15mm-miniatures-c-70_138_1417.html

im also looking at this one : http://oldglory15s.com/catalog/index.php?cPath=830

where can i find the fields of glory rules ? im not familiar with them at all. I got them confused with
"Fire and Fury" which is what i used to play with my Confeds.

what is this "painting" you speak off ?? good old silver is good enough for me ! and what are you talking about Bill ? you have many painted minis that BARELY see any play time !!!! i rather not paint and PLAY than PAINT and NOT play.

why dont we plat victory at sea again. luis get a fleet.

Luis, I don't see any egyptians from Old Glory. So what army would you get?

I'm up for that too.... great game.

I wish there were some pictures of the models.

If i dont get egyptians i'll get Carthage, but they sell egyptians, ive seen their packs, with chariots and evrything !

Old glory stopped making 15mm ancients, they only make ww2 now, their 15mm ancients are sold now through another vendor.

This website that you sent me has the deal if you buy 5 get 1 free or buy 10 and get 3 free. Not to bad. What other armies are there from the egyptian era?

Well, egyptian armies either come fron New Kingdom Egypt, or Ptlomey Egypt which is after Alexander took over egypt.

I have to look on the books from what era and what units are being used before i buy any figs, dont wanna be stuck with a bunch of figs that have no rules.

check out this link, i'll give u an idea more or less how many figs are in one of their army deals

thats a carthage army deal

What kind of bases do you put these guys on? It just bothers me a bit to play with miniatures that don't match the rules system. IE... 15mm with warhammer ancients. I guess it isnt to big a deal. But I think fields of glory is for 15mm but I could be wrong. But as I look at the 15mm it seems like it would be more epic and more fun.

Well, when i played warhammer ancients i was using the base size they say on the book for 25/28mm, i would just put like 2-3 guys per base. It does look nicer, it gives the feel of a large army and not just some squads

hmmm, interesting. I might check out the fields of glory books before we start buying things.

cool, im prob gonna go an buy the warhammer one anyways, we can compare books ! i remember the warhammer ancients rules were very simple.

The fields of glory books are pretty cheap.

But now that is Warmaster Ancients not the Warhammer Ancient Battles

I'm leaning towards fields of glory but lets compare the two books. Here is a resource page that has a reference sheet on it. The game appears to be pretty strategic and a bit more complicated than other table top games I have played, which appeals to me.

Not bad, although it seems that the rules are a bit complex and games tend to last a long time. The warhammer ancient battle rules are more designed for faster games, more emphasis on having fun than being stuck 4 hours on historical accurate action

Jesus you two are going on and on about this game. Shut up and buy the fucking thing.

Thanks Bill, we might do that once we figure out which game
