I have completed (well enough to field a legal army) a Syracusan (II/9) DBA army:

Always had a soft spot for the Syracusans – will Archimedes be doodling in the camp?

Good looking bunch and some 'colourful'options for otherwise standard hoplites.

Thanks for sharing as this brought back memeories of my first WRG (3rd. ed.) army.

Nice artillery piece, but you mentioed there were two in the pack. Are the crew seperate from the artillery piece?

Cheers,
Robert

Thanks. Yes, you need to buy the crew separate!

Thanks, Garry; I've not located an Archimedes figure, but was thinking of another sacrificing scene (I've got a bit of a theme going there):

Even the Byzantines have got some praying monks: link

Clearly, I feel my armies need divine assistance!

Nice stuff. I did the Druid Sacrifice for my Ancient Brits too.

Thanks. It's become a default theme now. The Romans may get sacred geese (should be chickens, I think, but I've got geese and they were associated with Juno).

The Syracusan cavalry is now finished and the army's ready to go (though having its own rather than a generic camp would be nice):

Fixed the artillery, which was put together with the head back to front:

Now I know why I got the artillery back to front:
