Thought I would show work in progress for Hyksos army. It is kind of Clash of Empires meets Basic Impetus in army size. Gaming buddies are very much into Clash of Empires and have plenty figures in many periods for large armies. I love Impetus style basing and nice army sizes. Opens up many periods and armies without too much money and painting etc.
Agreement is 1000 point armies using Clash of Empires using cutting minimum and maximum unit sizes and break numbers by 50%. Result is fine size army that should still give decent game and easily altered for Basic Impetus if required.
This army is pretty close to what I would put on for Basic Impetus. Still looks like an army to me and of course allows some gaming company when I get the chance to game. Figures are all Cutting Edge with a Castaway Arts in there somewhere.

Good looking start on the Hyksos army. Good to hear you folks are into CoE. I met Stuart when I was in the UK a couple of months ago. Very nice guy and wish him the best with his rulesets. I may have to give it a try someday. Best, Dean
ReplyDeleteLooking good - I'm with you re Impetus basing and visual appeal etc.
ReplyDeleteAssume that camel is not the right scale? :-)
Simon.
Dean..to me it all about nice bases of figures and good games with buddies. Using the above idea is a win win when playing different rule sets.
ReplyDeleteSimon...I am always keeping an eye your basing. Camel is at least 154mm scale.
Nice looking Hyksos Colin! Always good to have armies you can use for multiple rule sets.
ReplyDeleteYeah, we're been looking towards more flexible basing as well, though I'm personally a rabid Impetus fanboy. Figs looks terrific - will you be reposting when the army's finished?

FMB...Yes will indeed be reposting.
ReplyDeleteNice start! Basing, man, it's the bane of wargaming!
ReplyDeleteLooking good, a great choice for an army!
