My latest blog covers the latest additions to my WOTR army. As I decided to build a generic force rather than a specific one, I am happy to take a few liberties with Livery etc. Purists better look away now….

Great work!

A nice-looking bunch!

But in answer to the rhetorical question, I think the best answer is "it depends on the scenario generation system." Build the right ten units, and you can play anything in One Hour Wargames. About 16-20 gives you any Charles S. Grant scenario. Otherwise, measure your table. Somewhere between enough troops to form two solid lines across the table and enough for three lines, you've passed the completion point, and started building another army.

Not that I haven't done that, you understand.

Is that a trick question?

I guess it's when you stop seeing someone else's model of a fighting unit you never thought of, but now realize should be essential for your army, or another's support unit that makes you say, "Why didn't I include them", or …. You get the idea. Basically, I just do not understand the concept behind the question.

Simple! The army is complete when the last miniature falls from my cold, dead fingers.

+1 Brass1. In my case, I would say: "You never know."

Nice, and if you are looking for peasants, you could try Fireforge's Northern rabble link

OP: great work on your army, by the way.

Great looking figures, you have motivated me to finish painting some tents I have primed.

Well for the WOTR, I guess I might get finished once I no longer have any new flags and/or retinue color combinations to paint up. Or anytime you get over the 1:1 scale in army size.

Thanks for your comments! I will have a look at the Northern Folk rabble – I think that they will make some useful levy units and add a bit of character to my army!

The answer is always 'just three more units.'
