In your collection of painted armies/figures, do you have Mongols? |
| Winston Smith | 28 Feb 2019 5:47 p.m. PST |
No. Never did.
The rules I used to use made them a 1-trick pony.
Plus, they were rated "Regular B", which made them too expensive for what they could do. |
| tigrifsgt | 28 Feb 2019 5:53 p.m. PST |
Is there a doubt. The best horse archers who ever lived and ruled most of what was then the known world. Both boxes of the FF plastic plus a few others, and a box of GB Arabs converted to Mongol allies with all the left over FF parts. |
Frederick  | 28 Feb 2019 5:56 p.m. PST |
Not yet but I am sorely tempted with the Fireforge sets |
| Oberlindes Sol LIC | 28 Feb 2019 6:24 p.m. PST |
No, I have never had Mongols. I have both OS and NG Klingons, however, and Vargr. All of them are just standing figures, however. |
| Syrinx0 | 28 Feb 2019 6:29 p.m. PST |
Never had them. Never played a campaign that would use them. |

Do tatars count? Used them in a non-historical against Scots-Irish, yeah I know, weird eh. Anyway the BPI forgot that although the light cavalry was prohibited from making frontal attacks against formed troops, there was nothing wrong with attacking their rear, which they did. Ouch man! |
| Rich Bliss | 28 Feb 2019 7:28 p.m. PST |
Yes, but late 19th/early 20th century. |
| Ragbones | 28 Feb 2019 7:42 p.m. PST |
Yup. An old Mikes Models Mongol army to battle my Teutonic Knights, Novgoroddian Rus and Polish armies. Inspired by a series of articles in The Courier, the fictitious Feudal-era Marnon Campaign. |

I just finished painting 50+ Mongols complete with camel drummer! All Fireforge. Theyb will be debuting at Trumpeter Salute in April in Vancouver, BC. |
| Winston Smith | 28 Feb 2019 8:28 p.m. PST |
I sense a great "Orietal armies are far too superior Western armies because ….. just because" theme here. Why are Mongol horse archers superior to Huns or Scythian?
Just because? |
| goragrad | 28 Feb 2019 8:35 p.m. PST |
Have a few painted that I got with other figures off ebay. And enough unpainted to put together at least a BBDBA army as opponents for my other Book IV armies. |
| Kevin C | 28 Feb 2019 8:38 p.m. PST |
Maybe I am just bias because I live in the heart of Comancheria, but my guess is that man for man the Comanche surpassed the Mongols in both horsemanship and archery. That said, I do have a few boxes of the Fireforge Mongols waiting to be painted. |
| Oldgrumbler | 28 Feb 2019 8:48 p.m. PST |
Yes. I have a large DBM Mongol army. I don't think that they ever lost |
| leidang | 28 Feb 2019 9:06 p.m. PST |
Yes, about 500 or so 15mm figures. |
 chicklewis | 28 Feb 2019 9:22 p.m. PST |
I have painted the gorgeous Back of Beyond Mongol cavalry. |
| Perris0707 | 28 Feb 2019 9:51 p.m. PST |
Yes. In both 15mm and 28mm. The horde rides again. |
| nevinsrip | 28 Feb 2019 10:05 p.m. PST |
Yes, I have a few sets of Ebob's Mongols, that I've incorporated into my Khand army for LOTR.
Perfect fit and beautiful sculpts. |
| Memento Mori | 28 Feb 2019 11:21 p.m. PST |
Yes – one 28 mm for SAGA to be expanded to Swordpoint and another 15mm for DBX |
| TMPWargamerabbit | 28 Feb 2019 11:45 p.m. PST |
Yes…. part of my Nomad Steppes armies. |
| Redcurrant | 01 Mar 2019 2:12 a.m. PST |
Yes – got to have someone to take on my Sung Chinese and Mameluke Egyptian. |
| ZULUPAUL | 01 Mar 2019 2:52 a.m. PST |
Not painted but I have the Fireforge plastics to do Lion Rampant army. |
| Florida Tory | 01 Mar 2019 4:47 a.m. PST |
Yes. I use them as Kalmuks in my Napoleonic Russian army. |
| Joes Shop | 01 Mar 2019 6:13 a.m. PST |
|
| redbanner4145 | 01 Mar 2019 6:25 a.m. PST |
My Mongols have been all the horse archers from 300 BC Skythians to 1500 AD Transylvanians. Alas they aren't mounted right to fight as Kalmuks. |

Yes, a large 15mm army. A mix of Museum Miniatures and Essex. |
| Bashytubits | 01 Mar 2019 10:51 a.m. PST |
I have a large mongol army in 10mm. |

| athun25 | 01 Mar 2019 11:10 a.m. PST |
A large 15mm army and a too large Saga army in 28mm of Mongols. |
 etotheipi  | 01 Mar 2019 11:14 a.m. PST |
Yerp. On camels, horses, and foot with rifles and spears.
And on display in my case in the living room, too. I'll your HU and raise you a Nine Treasures YouTube link |

Soon will do: link The Colonel |
| nsolomon99 | 01 Mar 2019 4:31 p.m. PST |
Yes, of course. In 15mm. Hordes of them. And I have Mamelukes to oppose them but am yet to find a good set of rules that has the right flavour. The DBx series are pathetic rues for Mongols but I'm hopeful To the Strongest may capture the feel. Just haven't had the time to try them, too many other projects. |
 Legion 4 | 02 Mar 2019 8:48 a.m. PST |
The closest I have are Feral Orks … or just Orks in general.  |
| mghFond | 02 Mar 2019 1:47 p.m. PST |
I have Mongols and their Sung Chinese opponents. We play To the Strongest rules with them. The Mongols are really tough as they should be.
So far I think the Sung have lost like 12 or 13 times and won 2. But probably as it should be. I do enjoy the challenge of trying to win as the Sung though. :) |
| DOUGKL | 04 Mar 2019 6:36 p.m. PST |
Yes, there opponents have been Hungarians, Teutonic knights, Russ, Saracens and Byzantines. |
| The Last Conformist | 16 Mar 2019 3:54 a.m. PST |
I've got quite a few in 15mm. They've also served as various other nomads, most recently Shatuo. (As to why Mongols would be better horse archers than Scythians or Huns, the design of composite bows improved over time, so unless you posit that the users became less expert to compensate, well, yes, they will have been.) |
| bobm1959 | 28 Mar 2019 5:58 a.m. PST |
The technical advance they made to the nocks of the bow meant (they rotated as drawn) they could hold their aim at full draw far more easily than with the older design… |
