Thanks for the post!  So, that's two packs of everything?  I'll get the total updated! 

A great idea and very pleased you hit the target, Mongols are not my thing but i think this way of doing things is a good way to go.

A very interesting idea and glad ro see it's doing so well, but I would be rather more interested in another 10mm range of Mongols if codes were included armed with rifles rather than bows. There would need to be a light cavalry "firing from horseback" code and lancers etc. others with rifles slung on back in place of the bow and quiver. 

OK, admittedly of limited use to those hankering to be Genghis Khan but a godsend for us Back of Beyond types and (if you pretendi thery're Crimean Tartars or Kalmucks and do a few mods) those seeking different irregular allies/opponents for C17-C19th  Poles, Cossacks or Russians.

Welcome to the forum Peter.
Cheers - Phil.

I just found an email in my inbox from Pendraken about this project 

I would have preferred the project to be for Huns rather than Mongols, as I'm looking for a historical opponent for my Pendraken Late Roman army. So far they only get to fight Celts/Gauls, Elves, Orcs and Dwarves. That said, these will do as Huns for now.

So put me down for 23 packs to start with. I'll need another 23 packs about 3 - 4 months later to finish the army. I don't mind if you put that down as 23 or 46 packs. So long as we're clear that they will be ordered in two separate batches.

Hi Hybrid. Of what are you a hybrid? Welcome anyway. 

Hello Hybrid

Hello Leon,
I'll have
2 x MON1
2 x MON2
2 x MON3
1 x MON 4 thru to MON 12

Great Idea and worth supporting.

Mongols were like medieval nazis who massacred peasant farmers as they saw no use for them and rendered down dead civilians' bodies to make fat to grease the wheels of their wagons and siege towers. Shame on you, Kallistra, Old Glory and Magister Militum for making ranges glorifying them. You are each worse than Hitler  

Only thing i'd use mongols for would maybe be Easterling or Variag cavalry for a LOTR campaign.

Thanks for the welcome

Welcome to the forum.

The Roman armies that fought the Huns were what WRG and DBM army lists call Patrician Roman, which is kind of a cross between Hunnic/Byzantine style armoured cavalry with bows on unarmoured horses and relatively low morale infantry - and with a high proportion of barbarian allies. For some of the cavalry for Patrician Roman the closest figures in 10mm are probably early Byzantines, though Late Roman figures would probably be fine for many of the other units

I did play a battle which i wrongly thought was historically accurate long ago against my brother with me as Huns and him as Late Romans. It was very one sided in the Romans' favour, partly because Late Romans have so many high morale good foot archers and javelinmen that they take horse archers to pieces easily; and partly i think because the WRG 7th edition rules don't represent the unique bows the huns used, which seem to have been much more powerful than most nomad bows, and from archaeological excavations of Hunnic graves were a composite bow with a top half much longer than the lower half (found out about that from Terry Jones' Barbarians series - it'll likely be in the book too)

Huns Vs Patrician Romans would probably be a much more balanced fight than Huns vs Late Romans too.

Hello all,

FYI there's currently a 2-for-£10 BluRay deal on Amazon and "Mongol" by Sergei Bodrov is in there, which I recommend. I usually struggle with sub-titled movies (painting/sculpting at the same time) but this was very engaging, spectacular and stirring, so I sat through it and enjoyed it immensely.

This is the link to the deal:

This is the previous release of the DVD with reviews:
