What are some good Ancients Wargaming rules?

[Bloodaxe]

I a dusty forgotten box, in a back closet, I found a copy of Warmaster Ancients & Warmaster Ancient Armies. I only looked them over- but some nice eye candy!!  Pendraken is in there too. (also some others)  I think Im sold on 10mm over 6mm. I could also use them if there is a Warbands Ancients ever released. 
Some beautiful armies and pictures.

If you've managed to find a copy of Warmaster Ancients Ancient Armies you're lucky, they are a great set of rules and were designed for 10mm figures.

They can seem a bit artificial and gamy but the mechanics work well and scale up easily, you can play a 1 person a side game of about 1500 points in an evening or a 6000 point aside multiplayer game in a day.

Here's a shot of some crusaders hitting the flank of some Seljuks in a big WMA game based on Doryleum.

That's rather spectacular !! 
Great stuff, Dan.

DEUS VOLT!

Lovely

I kind of like Warmaster (Ancients & Fantasy) but the Fantasy versions' supremely hard cavalry and "whoever has highest CV wins on first charge and keeps winning" approach rather soured our group. The Ancients version addresses their concerns (and mine, even if I was willing to ignore them for the chance of a game or two!) but Warmaster just won't float their boat anymore no matter what.

As I actually prefer Impetus anyway I can't say I'm fussed by that

DanJ beautiful figures!  Are those Pendraken? 10mm?

That's a beautiful sight Dan and, knowing Warmaster as I do, those Seljuks are about to get MASHED!

What drugs is this guy on?

Thats the book I found in the closet, along with Ancient Armies too.

I have a copy of ancients , hardly used though the binding is so poor its falling apart

[mollinary]

Wow!  I have a copy of both the army book and the rules, in good condition, so am I rich?

'2 Watching'...

Presumably out of amazement and curiosity about whether this insane price will be paid!  

[Duke Speedy of Leighton]

Buy it now! No way!

[fred.]

WMA and the two army books do go for a decent price on eBay - around £20 to £30.

$300 would seem a touch optimistic - I don't quite get the listings on eBay and Amazon for such high prices - unless someone does actually buy them. Perhaps its time for some speculative listings...

[toxicpixie]

Probably just driving up prices for the automated price checking bots, then get a few quid more than you might have done when you actually flog it for real...

[FierceKitty]

Those look spectacular, but no way are they ancients.

[toxicpixie]

Ok, perhaps it should be "pointy stick rules set"
