The Song Chinese Army
The ADLG Army List for the Song Chinese, List 225, has a wealth of different options. Therefore, in deciding what one should paint is some what a pick and mix approach. Fortunately I have 3D Printed the army from a range of designs from "10 Kingdoms", who provide a wealth of choice for far eastern armies.
In front are the Generals.
The front left rank are the medium swordsmen and polearms.
Behind them are the crossbows.
With the mixed swords and crossbows behind them
In the rear rank are the Tribal warriors (from another Mongol range from Diratia that just keeps giving and giving, with medium swordsmen with two-handed cutting weapons.
The two right front ranks are the lance and bow armed heavy cavalry.
Behind them are the bow armed heavy cavalry with medium and light cavalry (for other Chinese armies) behind them.
Very nice looking. It seems a litle odd that you mounted the mixed swordsmen and crossbowmen with the crossbows in front. Normally the missile troops in mixed units are in the rear. Also, if you can get a macro lens for taking your photos, you would probably get better depth in focus for your pictures.
ReplyDeleteMost people ask me about having missile troops in the front. I take the view that they would be in the front and then withdraw to the second or third rank once the enemy closes.
