I finished painting and basing up the Parthian Horse Archer units for my Strength and Honour project this afternoon, so to all intents and purposes it's job done, although I do still need some optional baggage or a camp for them to defend. I'm going to park the army building part of the project now, having put together an Imperial Roman and a Parthian force, so that I can concentrate on some terrain as well as starting off my 1/2400th scale pre-dreadnought project for the summer. I'm not a fan of points but if I was, this lot would give me 70 to 75 points to play with and a break point of 14 or 15 if I add the baggage, so not a bad starting army to deploy against my Roman Legions.
I've been watching the play-through on the TFL youtube channel and this does look like a really good set of ancients rules. Quick question - what flock do you use? I always seem to find flock that's far too course for small scale figures, or maybe I should just sieve it (though Julie would kill me if she found out!)
