Update on DBMM army list reformatting - from David Mather, 27 November 2025

Time for an update on where we are with the Army List reformatting project
Firstly, let me thank you all on behalf of WRG and the reformatting team for your excellent feedback – both in terms of the books which have been on display at Britcon, Palma and Warfare and the response for the need for photographs to go in the books.
So, what happens next
Greg and I need to have a look at what pictures we still need – of which some more below and there will be a final detailed shout out for more piccies in a couple of weeks.
Once that is all done, and final drafts produced I will need to prostrate myself at Barker Towers with a proposal with how we go ahead – format, channel, pricing etc. Following the feedback I already have a good understanding of what I think is viable and fair (give this is a reformatting not a revision). Once that proposal is agreed I will communicate the confirmed publication details. Tentatively, we are aiming for a January release.
As regards more photographs – I would like to see some slightly different photos to reflect some other playing options – very specifically I am looking for pictures of either WoFun or Paperboys in action – if you don’t know what these are have a look here https://wofungames.com/ and here https://peterspaperboys.com/ .
These are great ways to start up in the hobby and have been invaluable for me in getting into the Horse, Foot and Gun era. Thus my own WoFun collection although vaster than SWMBO (S) would like (if she ever finds out) is focused purely on 1700 and later – I can probably get away with some of the Ghulams used for Panipat as Ghaznavids/Khurasanians or similar but really want to get some more WoFun figures in there along with their predecessor Paperboys. As ever if you have any photographs then please send them (or a link) to wrgimages@gmail.com
For those that haven’t seen them pictures of the pre pub drafts are attached – this includes the Compendium a weighty tome that proved very popular. I must admit I found it a boon during Warfare list checking.
More to follow when I have it.
Kind Regards
David Mather
