Here's our Dacian Army that was featured in one of our battles posted earlier.

II/52 Dacian 60BC-106AD
1x4Wb or 3Cav(Gen), 1x2Lh, 6x3Wb, 1x3Bd, 2x2Ps, 1x3Bd or 3Kn or 2Ps or Art

Well for the final selection we have gone for the Knight option...Sarmations!
So we've imported an element from our Sarmation Army.

We got the majority of these from Ebay, they were sold as a Thracian/Dacian morphable army. They look like Essex Minis, the Sarmations are Old Glory.

Mighty Sarmation Knights

DBA IV/30 Teutonic Orders

Now for those nice 'fellas' who spent their time Crusading against anyone in the Baltic region. Lots of Knights for the offensive action, but with some choices for the remaining options.

IV/30 Teutonic Orders 1201-1522AD
1x3Kn(Gen), 3x3Kn, 1x3Cv, 2x2Lh, 2x4Cb, 1x4Sp, (1x3Ax + 1x2Ps) or 2x7Hd

We got inspiration for this army from the Polish Film 'Krzyzacy', our copy has English subtitles. It is a bit dated now, I think made in the 60's. However the film culminates in the Battle of Grunwald, where all the Teutons neighbours got together & gave the Order a sound thrashing. Really good battle scenes & I thoroughly recommend it. If you get the chance get a copy.

Gotta love this one.. Teutonic Camp burning the Pagans!

DBA II/47 Early German

Very Loud Aggressive Hairy Germans now, just right for bashing each other or the Romans. The Early German list has no less than 7 different selections. Here's our generic German Army that should cover all of those selections.

1x3Cv or 4Wb(Gen), 10x4Wb, 2x2PS, 2x3Cv, 1x2Lh, 2x4Ax (Batavians)

We have collected enough Germans to cover a BBDBA Army as well. I'll put pics of those up later. The Camp is a scratch built effort, its a Sacrificial Pool just nice for offering those captured Romans to the Gods of the Forest.

II/47 Early German 115BC - 250AD
a) Cimbri & Teutones(113-102BC) - 1x3Cv(Gen), 1x3Cv, 9x4Wb, 1x2Ps
b) Ariovistus (58BC) - 1x4Wb(Gen), 2x3Cv, 8x4Wb, 1x2Ps
c) Batavi Rebellion (69AD) - 1x3Cv(Gen), 2x4Aux, 8x3Wb, 1x2Ps
d) Other Batavi - 1x3Cv(Gen), 9x4Wb, 2x2Ps
e) Cherusci - 1x3Cv or 3Wb(Gen), 9x3Wb, 2x2Ps
f) Tencerti - 1x3Cv or 4Wb(Gen), 1x2Lh, 9x4Wb, 1x2Ps

(Oooops.. Jack has pointed out that we only need 1 Light Horse element)

DBA II/26 Later Rhoxolani Sarmation

Who CAN'T fail to love the Sarmations, the opportunity to have 12 Knight elements pounding
across the table. Well here's our attempt at a Later Rhoxolani Sarmation Army. Although the list has a few options available, it's the 12 Knight option that we have gone for.

The figures are a mixture, the Heavy Cavalry Bowmen are 15mm.co.uk Isarus Range. http://www.15mm.co.uk/The_Sarmatians.htm

The fellas with the Huge Lances are Old Glory. We painted these ones up & still remain one of my favourite paint jobs.

II/26 Sircae, Iazyges, Later Rhoxolani Sarmation (310BC-375AD)
1x3Kn(Gen), 8x3Kn, 1x2Lh or 3Kn, 2x2PS or 3Kn
