The Nubians have arrived

The question remains in my mind though.................... do I increase the size to make it a 900 point'er?

I suppose you could also pose the question, "How many 900 point games am I likely to play?" before committing yoursrlf to the painting time required.

Maybe consider an army in which Nubians make up a sizeable part.
Assyrians and NK Egyptians.
Assyrians would be a very nice army with Nubians, bronze armour, big chariots, cavalry (!)  and plumes.

Andy,

I'm afraid that is completely the wrong frame.

The correct context is "what excuse can I possibly find to buy more figures than I would ever be likely to field together, but would give me pleasure to paint, and would look pretty on the shelf?"

Mine are in boxes so I don't want too many languishing unseen. Bad for the chaps' morale don't you know.

[Moggy]

In boxes on shelves. at least they dont get dusty that way! 

Started accumulating odds and ends for SYW period now for French Indian Wars. Good old Ebay

Another period to tempt me. Though I stand by my assertion that Last of the Mohicans  isn't a great film 

[Moggy]

But the music is incredible!

Before painting I will have to watch again to pick up what I can. Also The Patriot.  ONly about 20-30 years difference between the French-Indian Wars and the AWI so I doubt uniforms will have changed much between the 2 times.

Most noticeably British grenadiers. Totally different headgear. I know the pace of change was a little slower in the C18th, but I remeber how different the British army looked in Iraq and Afghanistan compared to The Falklands.

[Moggy]

Very true. Will have to watch out with grenadiers then. Mind you, 3 foot rules and all that I doubt anyone would complain too loudly.
