The Pointy Stick thread

Greeky goodness works for me thanks Henry

So not content with having 3 slots on the kanban already, LT now adds Germans as well ? I think I need to add a category of “even more wanky and insufferably smug”

Iain - is Romanish different to Generalissomo Piccolo ?

I did offer Henry Egyptians. Also Nubians, Romans, Germans, Vikings, Saxons, Normans, Welsh, French Feudals, English Feudals, Italians, Lancastrians and Yorkists! And I forgot the Byzantines!

You haven’t got a Kanban big enough for my slots

[Jeremy]

So, to sum up, interested participants are:

• Moi (umpire plus Byzarbian nutter)
  Goat Major (Greek-ey)
  Jeremy (Barbarian)
  Count Belisarius (Roman-ish)
  Essex Boy (Roman-ish)
  Levied Troop (Germanic-y and Feudal –– yes, that's two)
  Paul (Golden Horde-y wandering terrorising nomadic types)
  Shahbahraz (Roman-ish with barbarian allies/auxiliaries)

That's quite enough to get things rolling over the next few months, but if others are interested in joining in either from the get-go or at a later stage, by all means get in touch. Participants please let me have your army lists (rough at this stage, I'm sure) preferably via email to henry at henryhyde dot co dot uk, together with your postal addresses so that I can send out good, old-fashioned newsletters and information in the post (yes! remember that?)

Henry, my force is Carthaginian based

Errr, no. I wasn't very precise with my note to Henry. The army is more Greek-ish, with a hint of Persian and a few other bits. The world renown general Piccolo is in charge......but the name of my King, and the place where he's king of escapes me at the moment.

Very tempted to join in.

[Essex Boy]

Very tempted to join in.

Go on, go on. Go on, go on.

Okay, correction:

Moi (umpire plus Byzarbian nutter)
Goat Major (Greek-ey)
Jeremy (Carthaginian-ey)
Count Belisarius (Roman-ish)
Essex Boy (Greco-Persiany)
Levied Troop (Germanic-y and Feudal –– yes, that's two)
Paul (Golden Horde-y wandering terrorising nomadic types)
Shahbahraz (Roman-ish with barbarian allies/auxiliaries)

Better?

More comms will follow in due course. Now paint, you bastards, paint!

Cheers Henry

Henry - would you like me to drop the Feudals? Given everyone else’s army choices, my Ger-Maniacs might be a more sensible option.

’more sensible’ - what are the chances!?

[goat major]

more sensible than Henry's cataphract/elephant/camel/flamethrower/gladiator ensemble you mean ?
