I suppose I'd better come clean and confess that I am building up two armies for pointy sticks, very loosely based around the Battle of Trimsos and the wars of Tony Bath's Hyboria. So they will be sort of Arabish and Late Romanish, with weird and wonderful allies. All figures bought, GB plastic Late Roman infantry in the process of being prepped, a pile of odds and sods sort of painted ancients acquired from EB being unbased ready for tarting up, and I treated myself and got a load of GB plastic:- 24 Arab cav and 40 Arab inf, as well as 20 old Essex metal Late Roman cav painted for me, so feeling a bit smug and wanky about those.
I can't help but envisage an enormous pointy stick campaign/battle at Ayton in our collective futures.

Re: The Pointy Stick thread
My old eyes can't really do them justice. They look splendid, and mounted on cake for painting. Marvellous idea.
Can we have bigger piccies of the next lot please?
