It's now over a year since I started compiling a DBA Armies page on the Ancients on the Move, the Shows North blog. With recent additions, I now have over 30 army galleries loaded up – and you are always welcome to browse, comment, share your enthusiasm etc. But I thought I'd mark the recent expansion by sharing pictures of some of the earlier entries (which otherwise, maybe, I don't pay much attention to – blogging being so much about the latest this and that … ) … Starting with one or two of the more popular entries. So this month, it is Book III list 40b: Norse Viking - As the notes on the page say, around 10 different brands of figure were used, although far and away the biggest selection are from the excellent Peter Pig range. As a camp for this army I have tried to represent the prows of lonsghips pulled up into a reedy East Anglian inlet I hope you enjoy this snapshot (there are more pictures on the gallery page linked above) Phil Ancients on the Move (Shows North)

That's lovely. Very clever camp, as well. Your 15mm looks better than many of my 28mm. :)

Wargaming as art. It must be such a pleasure to play with such a beautiful army!

Wow! That's a very warm reception – thanks ! I will certainly continue with this idea and post anothe 'army of the month' in a few weeks. Thanks, Durban Gamer … they do get played with regularly (Viking is one of those ubiquitous armies that is guaranteed to come up – but even with the more obscure armies or themes, I do try to ensure that armies don't just sit decoratively on the shelf). That said, I enjoy games with friends and model soldiers always add to the experience. Although as a wargamer/collector I do like to go the extra mile, figures with the most basic of finishes will still make the game come alive. Phil
