Number of DBA armies owned?

[imported_S.Kirby]

Hi there,
Newbie DBA gamer here!! Just got into historical gaming, DBA in particular. I went to Essex on a recent visit to my home town, and in addition to buying the DBA rules, ended up buying SIX of their DBA army packs. My initial intent was just to buy two, but they looked too good!! Sung chinese, early sam, mongol, hittite, NK egyptian and aztec. Just finished painting and basing Sungs and will have first game next week vs friends early sam. Have to come up with way to defeat all his Cv.

Just interested to know how many DBA armies fanatici members have. It seems so addictive to get more, since they are small in figure quantity and the game is so fast to play (it seems). Already have plans to get more - Malays and Early Imp Romans. Does it ever stop?

[imported_Lee Shackelford]

It never ends. ;) I have Han, Hittite, Classical Indian, Early Hoplite, Later Hoplite, Early Achaemenid Persian, Marian Roman, Polybian Roman, Early Samurai, Minoan/Mycenaean and Alexander Macedonian....plus I just purchased Post Mongol Samurai, Mitanni, New Kingdom Egyptian and Middle Assyrian.

Since my armies are for display (no opponents in Taiwan), all but the Early Samurai, Classical Indian and Minoan/Mycenaean are triple-DBA or DBM sized....and I am nowhere near the top as far as number of armies tongue.gif

Be well

Welcome to DBA, KL. Lee is right. For many of us, a sense of "army list megalomania" can easily set it with DBA.

I'm a very slow painter, but I've been at this for a "few" years and can currently field 38 separate DBA armies. (I don't do the "morph" thing.) --But, hey, let's not talk about all the half-painted or unpainted ones I have waiting in the wings. :rolleyes:

They are from a variety of different 15mm ranges, Chariot, Essex, old Mike's Models, etc. Most of my armies are from the Classical Era (Book II). My favorite remains my Palmyrans, which were some of the first 15s I painted, oh, about 20+ years ago now. smile.gif

How many armies? You want me to count 'em?!? :eek:

I have every European, Middle Eastern, and Steppe army from from half past 300 to 1150 AD. With a few earlier and later armies thrown in.

[Wanax]

I have:

Tupi, E. Vietcong, Viking, French Ordinance, LIRoman, Maurikian Byzantine, Athenian Hoplite, Post Mongol Samurai, Northern Dynastic Chinese, Hun, Norman, Kogoryo Korean, and Mittanni.

Each of these armies morphs into at least 2 other armies. All but the hoplites and byzantines morph into 3 or more armies. I can play everything but NKE, republican roman, gauls or early germans, carthos, any english, or arab. Anything else I can cover.

4 armies: LIR, D N Chinese, Korean, and Samurai are all BB armies.

Wanax

[Martian]

Every now and again this question pops up. I know players with just two matched armies and then there's DK who has nearly every army in the v1.1 rulebook and is now working on the v2.0 lists!

If I could paint I'd do the same! ;)

I started with a 'Mini Campaign Set' of six Punic Wars armies from Essex.

I'll usually pick up an army a convention flea market once a year.
Carry your rulebook with you as you may find you've purchased a v1 or V1.1 army and need to add figures or rebase elements to get to v2 standards.
At the recent RECON convention here in Florida, a gentleman was selling some fair to good painted Dark Ages troops at 50 cents a figure! One of our newest local DBA players picked out enough elements for three armies (Goths x2 and Vikings) with enough additional extra to morph several others. All for about $80! Maybe not the prettiest but they were ready to play!

And then there's EBAY! The UK is putting out masses of armies, however the prices are getting to the ridiculous point.

If you go that route, find a DBM army for sale that can be split (morph) into different DBA armies. Basically an army with a large 'Allied troop' contingent. The bidders thin out when things break the $150 dollar level but your cost per figure price usually stays lower than when you buy a single DBA army.

Welcome to the fold!
(But don't be bidding against me now!) tongue.gif

[RonG]

Having sold as many as I own now, Mitanni, Later Hoplite, All Successor armies, Marian, early and mid romans, Later pre-islamic nomad, Early Byzantine, Viking, Eastern woodland indian, Post mongol samurai, han,sung and ming chinese, tribal mongol, Med. Scandanavian, as well as most Medieval armies. Whew! :D Lots of painting there!

[Hannibal Ad Portas]

The answer is....Way too many! :eek: But I just love collecting them and painting them as well smile.gif .

I have: Polybian Roman, Early Imperial Roman, Late Imperial Roman, Parthian, Sassanid, Late Achaemenid Persian, Galatian, Gallic, Numidian, Alexandrian Macedonian, Late Carthaginian, Post Mongol Samurai, Mongol, Hun, Later Hebrew, New Kingdom Egyptian, Sea Peoples, Thracian, Athenian, Kyrenean Greek, Classical Indian, Kushan, Pyrrhic, Graeco-Bactrian, Ancient Spanish, Spartacus, Abyssinan, Pictish, Aztec, Carolingian Frankish, Norse-Irish, Norse Vikin, Morph or West and East Frankish/Norman, Anglo-Danish, West Sudanese, Early Russian, Anglo-Norman, Later Crusader, Mongol Conquest, Low Contries, Medieval Irish (still working on it!), Wars of the Roses English......and many more than this list are still awaiting paint!!!!! :eek:

[Dhingis Khan]

Not many, but then I play other periods too.
Polybian Romans, Carthage, Gauls, Mongols, Teutonic Knights and a bunhc of generic medieval troops for morphing. The Romans and Gauls are double armies.

[derek]

Hullo
In 15mm I have painted and based:
Later Archeamenid Persian
Later Hoplite Greek
Spartans
Syracusan (DBM army)
Alexandrian Macedonian (DBM army)
Polybian Roman (DBM army)
Later Carthaginian (DBM army)
Ancient Spanish
Numidian
Gallic
Ancient British (these are different armies as the Brits are painted with woad - DBM army)
Early Imperial Roman (DBM army)
12 elements of Early Armenians as an ally for my
EIR army - Kn(X)
Early German
Middle Imperial Roman (DBM army)
Goths (can be morphed as Visigoth, Ostrogoth, Lombard, Gepid - DBM + army)
12 elements of Arabs as an ally for my MIR (which is a DBM army)
12 elements of Early Armenians as an ally for my MIR - Cav(S)
Early Byzantines (DBM army)
Early Saxons
Franks
Romano Brits
Italian Communal (Book 3 - more than a DBA army but less than a DBM army)
Malay (DBM army)
Sinahalese (ally for Malays)
Depression induced memory lapse has now set in :(
At least as much 15mm unpainted lead as all of the above :(
In 20mm painted & based as 25mm I have:
Normans (Tumbling Dice figures)
Anglo Saxons or Anglo Danish (also Tumbling Dice figures)
Enough unpainted lead & plastic to turn both Normans & Anglo Danish into DBM armies
Early Imperial Romans (Airfix & Esci Plastics)
Gauls / Ancients Brits (IT lead Ancients Brits & various plastics, mainly Airfix, Esci and HaT)
HaT ancients are excellent and hold paint better than any other make of plastic figure in my experience.
Mongols (DBM size)
Lots of semi-painted & unpainted plastics. After painting 400 AP of plastic Mongols I decided that future painting of plastics was up to my sons.
28mm Lead busy collecting:
Second hand Dark Ages Gripping Beast figures (can't afford new) and some new Whitecross (highly recommended).
Busy painting Whitecross Huns.
For anyone planning on upsizing from 15mm to 28mm I would strongly advise that you consider Whitecross. The price / quality comparison with the better known makes such as Foundary, Old Glory, Gripping Beast and Front Rank is excellent.
They are cheaper and of very high quality.
Kind Regards
Derek

[imported_Texus Maximus]

I have bought and painted armies as part of a campaign. I wanted to fight the Great Persian War with my friends, so I did Athens, Thebes, Sparta, Persia, Carthage, and Syracuse.

Lesson learned: buy Old Glory, Pass O' The North, and Xyston figures, they are the best 15mm figures around for this period.

I just finished another set for the Alexander the Great camapign game: Athens (added a few stands), Macedon, Thrace, Persia (another two armies - there are three Persian players), Skythia, and India.

No sooner than I got those done, a friend from England got me interested in the Norman Conquest. It never ends.

[imported_S.Kirby]

Wow! Looks like I have some catching up to do. Just found the earlier posts regarding this subject - sorry for repeating! Don't know whether my budget (and wife) will let me get as many armies as you guyz, but I can try. Really looking forward to my first game on Wed (public hol here, yippee). Found the rulebook to be like reading a legal document, but Bob Beatties explanation document really helps. Cheers Bob :D .

Here's something related to ask: Favourite army and why?

[Ed Dillon]

[imported_S.Kirby]

Already have the "radiation bunker" effect due to my previous days as a GW gamer!! Now have moved to better things (and smaller scales!). Same problem, just different system and different figures :D . What to do with all those beastmen, orcs and elves? Melt down and try hand at casting own figures? Maybe sell them. Wouldn't want to corrupt potential 'proper' gamers or encourage those already corrupted by the GW bug though ;) !

Mustn't make fun of GW, they were the reason I started gaming - 20+ years ago. Only now do I see the alternatives. Slow starter eh! Hallelujah, I have seen the light. Praise the great dice god.

[Robert de Torneberia (2)]

I know I'm not in the same league, but here goes.

I've been wargaming for 31 years now but only started playing ancients about two years ago. Even then I've been further dividing my efforts between Warhammer Ancients in 28mm and DBA in 15mm. I have Late Romans and the beginnings of a Hun army in Warhammer (Derek is spot-on correct about White Cross 28mm). In DBA I have Old/Middle Kingdom Egyptians, Early Libyans, and Marian Romans in 15mm. The Egyptians are the only 15mm's I've painted myself since I now need a magnifying glass the size of a dinner plate to paint that scale. :rolleyes:

By the way, I'm a paralegal and law librarian. Legal documents are much easier to comprehend than PB's prose.

No! Well not all of them anyway!

Turn them into Hordes of the Things armies.

Then get your old GW friends to play a few games of HOTT.

Then start adding "Historical" armies with a Hero or Mage.

Then remove the fantasy element.

Next thing you know you've weaned them and their are now DBA Fanatics!

Marty

[imported_S.Kirby]

Nice idea Marty!

Aiming to convert my old GW buddies, but distance a problem. They all reside in the UK, whereas I now live in Malaysia. On my last visit back I did begin the conversion though, by explaining to them and showing them some 15mm Essex figs and saying how this entire army cost the same as ONE GW fig. You could tell by the glow in their eyes that the suggestion had been planted. Conversion has begun, next step....the world......(add Dr Evil laugh here).

By the way, can anyone tell me where I can get a copy of HOTT? Asian or Australian suppliers would be preferred (less postage!!)

[Gregorius]

Hi S. Kirby,

Here are a couple of Australian suppliers that will post to you:

Military Simulations (http://www.milsims.com.au/)
Tin Soldier mail@tinsoldier.com

Regards,

Greg

[imported_S.Kirby]

Cheers Greg for the links.

Boy, MilSims has an extensive range of products available!! Will probably make an order soon (budget allowing). Just need to find an Asian/Australian supplier for Testudo figs now.

So many things to get!! Have to control myself. Xyston, Corvus Belli, Essex........ Also need to expand my 20mm WW2 Brits. Haven't even played my first game of DBA yet and I'm already planning for the next 4-5 armies. Help!

Nice website BTW.

[imported_Koen DS]

Hi guys,

Been lurking around for quite a bit now, so I decided to come out of the woodwork. Don't have too many armies yet, but there is some lead waiting... I used to be a Napoleonic 25mm wargamer, but I sold all my figures (2000+) when I moved countries. Now I'm concentrating on 15mm, with some 25mm skirmish figures (Vikings and Woodland Indians), and planning some 6mm (Great Northern War, Swedes vs Russians).

As to DBx, I have:
* EIR (about 90 elements' worth, we play BB most of the times). They are Essex, with some Donnington and Lancashire figures. An extra 30 elements are now waiting to be painted, all Corvus Belli. We usually play EIR vs Barbarians, or Roman Civil Wars - plenty of those ;)

* 1 DBA army of Picts (all Essex)

* 2 DBA armies of Early Germans (Mostly Essex, some Donnington)

* 1 DBA army of Sarmatians (they are on the Fanaticus Gallery), with a second one waiting for paint (Half TTM, half Essex)

* Waiting in the wings are Huns (Essex), more Germans (Lancashire), and a morphing double army for Gauls/Ancient Britons (most Corvus Belli, some TTM). And then there are some Greek armie packs I wanna by from Xyston (Spartans and Athenians, most probably...). Well, I'm not that different from the rest of you, I like planning new armies, and buying new lead :D

When I get to it, I paint rather quickly, but these days I'm painting some stuff for friends, so it may take a while before I get to my own :(

[GAZMAN]

how many of you guys have at one time thought..'hmmm, maybe I'll collect ALL the armies..'
Si2

[imported_Koen DS]

The thought has crossed my mind - but external circumstances made that impossible ;)

[Paul A. Hannah]

Just interested to know how many DBA armies fanatici members have.Presently, 71 standalone, ready-to-play, DBA armies. 15 HOTT armies. 2 DBR armies. All 15mm.

[Mike Porter]

I think if I had to represent Paul as a HOTT element, I would represent him as a necromancer, for the all the threads he likes to re-animate!:p

[Bardolph]

I'm still at the low end, too many other periods getting in the way. I think I have around 14 armies, though only have 7 of em painted up so far. So don't worry about catching up, you are not alone.

As for playing with your buds overseas you might want to check out either DBA for the VASSAL engine ( www.vassalengine.org under the modules page) which allows 2.2 play live online or pbem, or the Flash pbem version done by one of the Fanaticii here. If you don't mind playing an older version of the rules there is DBAOL.

Definately Sell them!!! If your paint jobs aren't half bad you can make a mint on ebay!!! I wasted many $$$ on GW miniatures, and was pleased to find that they turned into an investment as I sold them off online! And like you said, selling off one big character on an monster, and you can buy an entire DBA army!!!

[VingThorr]

I'm just starting up with DBA, I shook of warhammer like a bad dream, sold all the GW miniatures, and bought a load of essex miniatures and put together some armies for Armati. Later my boss let me read through his DBA rules, I thought they sounded ridiculous and declared the superiority of Armati, and then I tried playing the DBA rules, and I was hooked. Right now I only have 3 armies finished:

English Hundred Years War
Medieval French (c) (with a Jeanne d'Arc theme)
Medieval German (c)


but I have other armies that are complete and just awaiting paint like Marian Roman, Early Imperial Roman, Late Roman (western), Gallic, Ancient British

and another of almost-armies, just need a few more figs to make them complete: early crusaders, late crusaders, french ordonance, Medieval German (a), Medieval German (b), and Carolingian Frankish. Unfortunately I can't complete these armies because my wife laid down the you-can't-buy-more-little-men-until-you-paint-the-ones-you-have stipulation. :(

[Paul L. Harrison]

As 500 AP DBM 15mm I have the following: NK Egyptian, Ugaritic, Assyrian, Hittite, Achamenid Persian, Hoplite Greek, Alexandrian Macedonian, Polybian Roman, Carthegenian, Marian Roman, EI/MI Roman, LI Roman, Sassanid Persian, Byzantines, Western Germanic barbarians, Vikings, Asiatic Steppe Nomads, Normans, Medieval French, and Mongols. As 500 AP DBM 25mm armies Marian Roman, EI Roman, LI Roman, Sassanid Persian, Ostrogoths, and Byzantines. Collecting is a sickness I guess but it is a lot of fun. As I tell my wife there are a lot of house payments if the need arose to liquidate them.

[Noble]

Ooooh...

1x Syracusan
1x Polybian Roman, morphable into Camillan Roman
1x Later Carthaginian
1x Iberian Ancient Spanish
~60 elements of Marian Roman for
DBA Marian Roman
DBA Marian Roman vs Marian Roman
BBDBA Marian Roman
the beginnings of DBM Marian Roman

[John Loy]

Too many:o

And not enough at the same time:rolleyes:

John

[JamesLDIII]

First I collected armies around the 1066 Campaign, back in the days of DBA 1.1. This resulted in:
Greek/Peloponnesian War armies

[JamesLDIII]

As a poor student, I was drawn to DBA in 6mm. Irregular figures became my supplier of choice. Once I started, I began with themes. First I collected armies around the 1066 Campaign, back in the days of DBA 1.1. This resulted in:
Norman
Anglo-Danish
Viking
Welsh
Pre-Feudal Scottish
Norse-Irish
Then I moved to the biblical period:
New Kingdom Egyptian
Libyan Egyptian
Ku****e Egyptian
Later Assyrian
Later Hebrew
Then to Classical Greek
Athenian
Spartan
Theban
Thessalian
Phokian
Aitolian
Arkarnanian
Thracian
Illyrian
Early Macedonian
Later Hoplite Greek Other (Olynthos)
Italian Greek (Tarentine)
and so on...

[Paul L. Harrison]

Too many:o

And not enough at the same time:rolleyes:

John


I can relate to this. On the other hand selling the old has funded quite a collection of the new

[Itchysama]

Hmm...
I can field the following from my cast and crew...

Welsh
Leidang
Norse Irish
Norman
Anglo-Norman
Medieval French
Early Crusader
Syrian
Medieval German
Later Crusader
Anglo-Irish
Post-Mongol Samurai

All but the Post-Mongol Samurai and Welsh I can field in BBDBA as well.


On the blocks - Pyrhhic, Toltec, Middle Imperial Roman.

Coming soon ... GAULS!!! Woad to you!!!! :D

[Ninthplain]

I also tend to follow historical periods I find interesting to read. Basically I get a book I like and paint an army to match.

Painted or playable:
Vikings, alot of Vikings
Romans, alot of Romans
Anglo Norman (Older Vikings)
Post Mongol Samurai
Spartans
Hellenistic Greeks
Alexandrian Imperial
Visigoths
Ancient British
Gauls

unpainted and in bags:
Pre fuedal Scots
Midieval German
Norman(bags of Norman)
Romans, bags o Romans
Vikings, I can never have enough of those.
Gauls, bags and bags of unpainted warband

I can also vouch that John has entirely too many armies. :)

<BRIAN>

[Andy Swingle]

Well, for my Medievals. I paint them or have them painted so i can switch and mix and match for what ever army im fielding. At the moment.. I can do 6 Medieval armies at once, 3 chariot armies. I cant stand painting so im having a guy on commision painting up my Dacians and Fantatic Berber.. All in all i have around 12 armies or so.

Well, I started out to paint in 15mm Campaign Sets, with the Classic 2nd Punic War (1.0)! set. And actually more or less completed the project, the Greeks Morph into any Hoplie Greek you want.....

And the Gauls kind of, er, grew. (Karl Gaarsoe. Eye Candy; At least Four more Manufacturers to come...) Last count I could field at least four pairs of Polybian Roman/Gauls plus four sets (armies) of Early Germans (Old GLory, Peter Pig, Navigator and Single Elements). Which was more or less a side effect of planning to field a DBM 4Wb army. Add a couple of Cavalry/Kinght elements, off you go.

LOTS of Skythians (At least four armies of those worth)

Plus a couple of Chariot Armies, Philistines (I had a package of Chairiot 4Sp), Assyrians so they had someone to fight.

Enough Hoplites now I actually started the Early Achmenids to complete the campaign.

OK, maybe it is time to buy and Paint some EIR.

At one point (1999) I had to strain to field eight pairs for a tournament (No one showed!). At one point I tried serieal numbering the Armies, over sixty distinct armies. Lots of Dark Ages Generic Hairies; When I finish the Achmenids, I will think about adding the Sasanids for a Carolingian campaign.

I have a single box as a portable set, it holds Carolingian Frankish (Two plus of those), parts to make Feudal Spanish (III/35a/b) and the Andalusian Orcs (Definitly a work in Progress!) (III/34b); They make a great introductory match up, all the opponet has to do is figure out to charge home with the Knights. (No, I get to play the Andalusians). Give's the beginner a feeling of acomplishment. And an Old Saxon (II/73) to fill the box.

I started to paint some 25mm Byzantines & Generic Hairies, definitly Morphing Armies there. Old Ral Partha 1200 AD Byzantines (Mostly), with some odd Legacy figures. I think I could field two 25mm Byzantines of some sort (No 6Kn!), plus one 4Wb based Hairy and Moors/Numidians etc.

[The Last Conformist]

*necromancy*

I've got (in order of acquisition):

IV/30 Teutonic Order
II/32 Later Carthaginian
I/28 Sea-Peoples
II/33 Polybian Roman
III/34b Andalusian
IV/13b Medieval German
III/55 Khitan-Liao

I've got enough extra European medievals to let the Germans morph into various contemporary armies, eg. Papal Italian or Later Crusader.

[Kontos]

I haven't put together all the lists I could morph with what I have yet but my current stockpile is 35 armies and all can play each other. Not bad for being in DBA less that 2 years, eh? :D

Frank

[Rich Gause]

I have a lot of larger collections from games where you 100 elements a side just to do a historical battle. I have been slowly reorganising them and rebasing into DBA armies and painting and buying on Ebay. With morphs I can probably do 100 different armies and several BBDBA armies or so with more coming every year. I can definitely see the army lists as a checklist before I am done.

[JamesLDIII]

As a 6mm player, using the army list as a checklist is difficult since some armies are not represented by figures. But I find collecting in campaign sets really accelerates the acquisition process. From memory I have with no duplication/morphing:

Biblical
I/51 Assyrian
I/46 Ku****e Egyptian

I/34 Later Hebrew
I/3 Nubian

Peloponnesian War

Frank

I can't believe how SLOW I am.

[Jeff Franz]

Guess I have 30 completed armies. I don't do morphs (ok, so I am going to morph the Normans and Anglo-Normans....did not want to paint the Anglo-Normans by them selves becasue I will probably never use them) so I don't know what I could make up if I did. I will have another three done in about a week or so....its about time I got to painting again.

Jeff

[Kontos]

I can't believe how SLOW I am.
EBAY, flea markets and commissions are a huge help. :up
I've only fully painted a half dozen or so. Touched up a bunch though.

S. Kirby,

You might like looking at the eye candy section on the main Fanaticus page and you can see some of the guys armies there.

http://fanaticus.org/DBA/eyecandy/index.html

I probably have about 10 fully painted and based armies counting the HX, HotT, HotE, and HitT armies. I too am a slow painter, but building and painting the army is at least half the fun to me. I think Ed "the scoundrel" Dillon said do an army or two at a time and before you know it you'll have a number of them too.

Terry

[Stephen Webb]

I can't believe how SLOW I am.

I am also very slow and not very accomplished.

Therefore, I pay someone else to paint my armies.

I have around 70 plus (including morphs).

My next will be a double Medieval Spanish when I get the figures prepared.

Which will be after the additional Hoplite Greeks that still need their spear replacing!

[APHooper]

I slowed down dramatically this past year, but the thrill of finishing ALL the unpainted, bagged armies in my collection was irresistable. I'm down to two projects pending -- a very good painter is doing an Abbasid arab force for me, and I'm repainting a bunch of Sea Peoples and Syrians who will shortly begin a new life as a Cypriot & Phoenician army.
But after that, I have no new acquisitions planned. It's time to go back into the muster and find troops that need repair and replacement. I've steadily expanded my collection for the past seven years, and have now reached a total of 253 distinct DBA armies. They are all "Proprietary" forces -- they might cover more than one DBA list, but none of them share elements with any other. There are a few lists with "double" armies -- I have two Inca, Aztec, Mound Builder and "Eastern Forest American" armies, as well as double Early and Later Samurai. And there are a lot of variant armies, from lists like the Later Hoplite Greeks, and Warring States Chinese.

250+ armies IS too many from the standpoint of trying to enjoy them all. Some of them have had problems that made them actually unplayable or kept them from conforming to the list, and I've spent a lot of time over the past 18 months correcting those problems. My Alan army is the latest example -- the eBay lister who sold them to me six years ago provided 12 elements that did not quite conform to any interpretation of list II/58. I recently rebased the whole army, and added more light horse and a new Knight General to make them all-option, all-weather Alans.

But the real problem is just trying to fit them all into some kind of rotation. If I take the time to really explore a list's strengths and failings, I feel like I'm neglecting all the other beautiful troops in my collection. We try to skip from book to book, but I've also come to prefer plaing two or three games with the same match-up -- not least because it saves a lot of time that would otherwise be spent trying to decide what to play next.

One unexpected benefit of this is that I actually forget about some armies altogether, and when they finally get back to the table, they come as a delightful surprise. I got out my Sicilian & Italian Slave Revolts army for the first time in years last nght, and they are really pretty little figures. But they lack the 3Wb they need to do the "A" variant, so now I have some use for those spear-toting gauls that were left over after the Illyrian army got remodeled...so it never really ends.

Teutonic Order
NKE
Marian Roman
Nubian

Jungle Tribe with Dinosaurs
Cute Animals
Forces of Chaos
Undead

DBN:
French
Austrian

12 DBA
2 DBN

Armies listed by book. In parenthesis, the painter of the army. Yes, none of them painted by myself so far. Shame on me.


I/22 New Kingdom Egyptian (juanbusto)

II/5 Classy Greeks: Thessaly (Gorgoroth)
II/11 Gauls (David Crenshaw)
II/15 Alex Macedonian (Gorgoroth) x2: using those 2 and the Thessalians I have a BBDBA army. Morphable into Alex imperial and first period successors
II/32 Late Carthos (Gorgoroth)
II/40 Numidians (ebay, dipped)
II/49 Marian Romans (ebay, badly painted)
II/53 Ancient British (Neldoreth)
II/80 Huns (Paul Potter)
II/81 Subroman Brits (Mike Johnson)
II/81(c) Subroman Brits (ebay)

III/31 Umayyad Arabs (Paul Potter)

III/51 Normans (ebay)

IV/3 Anglonormans (ebay)
IV/7 Early Crusaders (Mike Porter)
IV/7 Early Crusaders (ebay, badly painted)
IV/82 French Ordnance (Hades)

19 armies. I feel small, after some of the posts around, heheh. I also have another Marian Roman army on the works, but it progressing at a painfully slow pace (read: none) right now. The lefgionaries are mostly done, but all the supporting troops (Ps, Cv…) are still being prepared. Yes, I am the one painting it, this time.

Cheers,
Xavi

*necromancy*

Indeed, you are a master of the art :D

I have 9 armies, I've painted 12. Since spring 2008 I have painted 11... Not too bad for a couple and a half years :) But I realize that I have very few relative to most others... I love it when people say "You brought all of your armies?!?", and then they realize that means only nine :)

[Dale Hurtt]

I noticed a few people talking about having other people painting up the armies for them. I do the same thing, but then add the details I want (and they invariably miss). It turns out that I am good at the detail, but my mind cannot generally handle the mind-numbing nature of laying down the basic paint job. Anyone else like that?

For example, my New Kingdom Egyptians were painted by someone else and they used bright colors pretty much from head to toe, in one case blending from red to orange from the bottom of the kilt to the top of the textile armor straps. I ended up painting over the textile armor with white, painting quiver straps, eyes, the border on the quiver, etc. In fact, I ended up painting a lot of white on that army just to make it seem more Egyptian, rather than Persian!

But usually my additions are limited to painting eyes, straps, daggers, plumes, tunic borders, and other details, especially to mix up the colors and make them less uniform.

I've got about a dozen armies now and I want to focus on the Biblicals at the moment. Working on a Syro-Canaanite army as it makes for a good enemy of the NKE and Philistines. Trying to paint that one all by myself.

Dale

[Prich]

My armies, so far, are

II/2 Mountain Indians
II/3 Clasical Indians
II/7 LAP
II/36 graeco bactrians
II/56 EIR
II/64 MIR
IV/61 Italian Condotta

I`m looking for my new armie right now, and Early Lybians seems a good choice

[Paul A. Hannah]

Just interested to know how many DBA armies Fanatici members have?Don Ray of Calgary asked me that same question, while he was our house guest before and after ENFILADE.

Answer: 98 and counting.

(I count the very few "morphs" I have only once, i.e. if I were to deploy all my armies, 98 is how many complete armies I could field at any one time.)

[Kontos]

If you don't have them all, you don't have enough. :D

However, 98 is quite impressive and I know DK needs an abacus to count his up.

Me, I'm a rookie at only 43 armies. :o

Frank

[Ecdicius]

I should bookmark this thread, so that whenever I wonder if I am building too many armies I can just read it and say no, I am not insane, in fact quite moderate. [mad titter]

[Andy Swingle]

I have not taken count of the armies that i can field at once.. But i am guessing around 20. My medievals can morph into pretty much any European army except Byzantines... I still have 4 arab armies and a Sub-Romano that needs painting.

[Sparty]

Can't believe I haven't noticed this thread before. I don't even know what to say about some of these impressive lists of armies.....

My relatively small collection of armies are as follows:

I/22(a) New Kingdom Egyptian
II/3 Classical Indian (almost enough for 3X)
II/19(a) Seleucid
II/23(a) Later Pre-Islamic Arab (Nomad)
II/35 Later Macedonian
II/42(b) Tamil Indian (3X)
II/49 Marian Roman
III/19(c) Welsh
IV/3 Anglo Norman
IV/35 Mongol Conquest

10 total for the time being. I am painting II/5(a) Spartans myself right now and I have a 3X I/24(b) Hittite army being painted for me.

I have many more armies that I want to collect. I think this carries over from my youth of collecting baseball cards... just transferred to toy soldiers.

[Kontos]

Well my tally just went up one as I received my Arab Indians in the mail yesterday. Nicely painted at a real good price on ebay. Sometimes the blind squirrel does find a nut. :up
