That's a pretty cool result!

No historically it would be almost naked, with white painted patterns and spear thrower.

I remember talking to Bob O'Brien from the original WRG threesome At Present Arms about his figures and bases. He had converted a Hunnic army from various Airfix figures, probably the ubiquitous ACW cavalry set and I noticed his vaguely familiar, gaily coloured standards. Closer inspection revealed that he had used tiny little stick on labels of badges from different football clubs from around the country! He was also responsible for the first semi-sunk figure base. His idea was to get one piece of card, mark out the figure base and then cut it out. Glue the first piece to another piece of card of the same size and your figures would fit nicely into the pre cut holes and you were left with level basses.

I remember in the late 70s seeing an ad in Military Modelling for a Nunnic Army - either an awful lot of fascinating conversions or a typo.

 Not wargaming but cross country pantomime - we were having a great deal of difficulty dealing with a lich. Someone must have wondered what we wre up as a pair of bobbies turned up where we were running around with our rubber swords and bad costumes, laughed and decide we weren't mired in each other with axes.

We were having such trouble that someone asked them to arrest said lich!
