Title: First of my Ancient Germans for C&K
Post by: Sean Clark on March 29, 2024, 02:39:11 PM
I've made a start on my German army for C&K.

There are 15 close order warband type, 7 foot skirmisher and 3 mounted skirmisher units plus two generals, around 15 half bases and 16 casualty bases.

Just missing some regular cavalry and that will be all the options. But the plan is to paint this lot first and play a couple of games with them before I add the cavalry.

They look nice, Sean.

The C&K rewrite has certainly given Ancients a new lease of life.

It has. I've never been much of an Ancients gamer but I have two armies now and a third is a definite possibility.

That sounds good Sean.
Have you made any warbands veteran?
 They are vital for a  big smack effect at one point.

To be honest it's based on the example list in the book, with a couple of extra units for good measure. So there will be elite and veteran troops.

Hopefully won't take long to paint and then I'll take them to the club to have a stroll through the Teutoberg Wald in case any pesky Romans are around.

These took longer to finish than I anticipated. I definitely  ran out of steam trying to paint the whole army once.

They're done now though and I'm happy with them which is all that matters.  I'll try and tidy up the base edges when I find time.

That was all very easy!

Aren't you now both supposed to prance around shouting insults at each other?  ;D
