Thats pretty much a full size army for the period :)

Yeah, I know. I want to grow them from Dux sized forces to 24 point LR sized forces.

I've now found the WAB book - it is indeed v1.0 - and the first armies of antiquity lists. I'm tempted by Mycenaeans, particularly since Foundry seem to have quite a nice range.

Be careful, I have looked at their trojans and mycenaens a couple of times, but the actual castings themselves were not great. Also, for chariots, newline match them for size but are much cheaper.
