Title: Composition of Armies
Post by: Birdfeederman on 02 July 2012, 01:57:23 AM
Hello,  :D
I was wondering if anyone could tell me what are the breakdown of figures in the halfling and amazon army sets.
In the case of the halflings, the store simply notes that it has "74 foot" and the general and his standard bearer. does anyone know how the 74 foot figures are broken down into archers, spears, swords, command, etc?
As for the amazons, I assume the queen mentioned is the figure from FA5, but would anyone be able to tell me whether the cavalry has spears or bows? and how are the foot divided between swords, spears, archers etc?
Thanks a lot for everyones time! Hope the request makes sense.  :(

Where it shows 'foot' or 'riders', it's just a random mix of the various codes in the ranges.  For the Halfling's, they're all in a single mould, so you'll normally get a pretty even spread of sword/spear/club/bow.  The Amazons are in a few more moulds, so it depends how many I've got in the spares tray, plus a spin or two to make up the numbers.

If you'd like specific quantities though, we can do that for you, no bother at all.

Thank you for the very prompt reply!
Is there an extra cost to get the army in specific proportions?

Buy an army pack or two, then use the dungeon pack as boosters for characters?  ;)

I got one of your Halfing army packs up at Border Reiver the other week. A good start to a Halfling force - once I've finished the Medieval range stuff I bought for a Brettonian army that is!

When you say the Halflings are all in one mould, does that mean the contents of that army pack are the same for everyone? Regardless, I'm impressed if I can buy, say, a number of Halfling army packs AND tailor what goes in each one!

I'll have a think about what I ultimately want and then try to break it down into a number of army packs, if that's OK?

If you but two Halfling armies, is that like buying on proper one?

Indeed, hello mr Feederman.

Perhaps there should be a rule that your first post should be on the intros page, perhaps a 500 word essay on "why I wargame and why 10mm is the scale for me." That would sort the men from the goats.  :d
