I just acquired a significant number of Tabletop Blemye/Nobades cavalry and archers with a few Mike's Models spearmen. Previously I have ordered the Tabletop (15mm UK) Arab Negro Spearmen to fill the role. Was wondering if there was another manufacturer with a line containing an early Sudanese spearman that might be a better fit. On another note, there were some elephants from the Tabletop Blemye line in the lot. Are there any rulesets that include elephants in the Blemye or Nobades lists? At this time I am thinking they will be seconded to the Numidians. Any assistance will be appreciated. P.S. Size compatibility would be a plus as the Tabletop are closer to true 15s. |

Look good. Are they planning any shielded spear? |

Why don't you email them, they're pretty amenable to suggestions. Have you checked out their other nationality ranges, maybe something there will fit. They do Carthaginians and about 3 dozen other armies. They just supplied me with some command figures for my 3rd Century Romans. If you found a shieldless figure you liked, it may be that they could supply a shield for a little extra cost (extra expense of 'spinning up' odd moulds), particularly if you wanted a largish number. |
