What to build next? Asked by Josh Barton, 15 september 2021

Okay I'm stuck on what to build... throw ideas at me - something that isn't medieval and has a decent plastic range

    Seriously though if you like Romans then a Marian/Caesarian Republican Roman army is there at Victrix with their Romans, Numidians, Spanish and Gauls.

  I would look at Victrix and GBP and maybe Fireforge. They have the most extensive pre medieval ranges in plastic.

  See what floats your boat.

Being Logical here...

You already have Bk1 and 4 armies, so focus on Bk2 and 3, discounting Arabs as you've sold your Dailami, and you like Victrix, so....

Bk2 - Later Carthaginian - Good Victrix range, and lots of painting potential, also you get Elephants, Warband, Ax(S), Gallic and Greek style Cv, and lots of Numidian LH.

You could easily start on this and then Morph into something else, the downside is that it's not an easy army to use.

Bk3 - Normans. Nice shiny new Victrix range, if mixed with some Footsore or Gripping Beast, could also do Sicilian Norman, or Early Crusader, or even Andalusian.
