Got a box full of foundry Huns which I dont want to use as Huns as no one at the club has a late army we mainly have Carthaginian early Roman etc is there anything a bit earlier I could use the army for. |

Celtic or Germanic, maybe? |
Lancer58 | 30 May 2019 4:57 a.m. PST |
unfortunatly they dont look anything like Celts or Germanic |

Nothing which would fight Carthaginians and early Romans. Hsiung nu would probably be okay. |

Trade them for something useful; Numidians? |

Hsiung nu, unfortunatly have a lot of cataphracts so that is them pretty much out of it, although an interesting army. Got Numidians allies for my Roman, dont really fancy a whole army of them, anyway I want my Huns to go on the table. I got the Huns many moons ago when they were doing a Christmas sale, an army for £50.00 GBP or buy 2 get 3rd free cant remember exact details, looked yesterday and saw they wanted £4.00 GBP per figure, nearly fell of my perch, mind you mine must be 30+ years old |

Encourage the other guys in your group to do Late Romans & Goths… Damon. |
Lancer58 | 30 May 2019 8:00 a.m. PST |
I have tried that Damon, I have a late Roman myself and an Arab army, but I cant get them motivated, need a good film to come out, that usually works |
Swampster | 30 May 2019 8:07 a.m. PST |
Hsiung nu cataphracts are likely late period – early on they are much lighter. |
Lancer58 | 30 May 2019 8:10 a.m. PST |
right swampster will have another look, did they go by any other name |

Just found a list, chinese nomadic barbarians 1300 bc 314 bc all cavalry, reckon that should be perfect, just need to convince club members. Thanks for your help guys, and Swampster for sending me down the chinese route |

I used a bunch of foundry Huns as LC Avars and Bulgars….I used mainly Aventine for the nobles but I believe the Hunnish armored figures would work likewise. I mixed in Gripping Beast Hunnish LC and Aventine light horse as well with them link
