A few years back I saw some cute ancient armies made
of wood craft bits. I think there was a game at Historicon?`
Anyone know what I'm talking about and have a link? |

I haven't seen any ancients like that, but I've seen Napoleonics made of various shapes of wood, cut to size, glued together and painted. I used to have a link for the rules and a description of how to make the figures, but I've long since lost it. |

Matt Kirkhart and I put on a Zama game using these figures. Here are the couple of posts I've done on the subject including some info on what I used for the Punic army. link I did a guest spot on Dale's Wooden Warriors blog. There is a ton of information there. Dale does make some brilliant stuff! wooden-warriors.blogspot.com Finally, join the wargaming on a budget. You will find all sorts of posts on the subject. link |

"Who asked this joker" nailed it. The yahoo group calls them crafties (made from craft store items). |

Yep! That was it! the crafties!
Thanks guys! |

While not Ancients, here are some medieval knights I've made:

Yeah, at first glance I started to dismiss them…then decided I really like them. :) |

These aren't the ones I was thinking of – I hadn't seen these before either. At one of the cons I saw a SYW or AWI kids' game put on with wooden figures. I don't remember how the arms were done but they were plugs with a triangular piece of wood for the tricorn. They were quite clever and very nice looking. Wish I still had the info on it. |

No, these were all made from scratch and cut from dowels and other various shapes of wood, then glued together. |
