What are the best armies to proxy now that SG is (mostly) gone?

[Stormwind]

The 100 and 300 clubs are meant to be if that many people pre order a unit or rather, if that number of units are pre ordered, they set about making a cast and producing them.  100 club is obviously more expensive - if you get a critical mass of 300 it's meant to be cheaper.

ok I drafted the araby warmaster army list with links to magister militum and TBLine figures:

For the fantasy elements I opened a 300 club request at Eureka:

10mm Arab Characters (Jinn, Wizzard, Flying carpets):

So I prepared a list for the undead as well (tomb kings):

any comments/additions more than welcome

[Meraklis]

thx for that! I will support the araby request to eureka...hopefully other members will do the same as well

[Stormwind]

Good work - these are good lists for players who might be a bit bewildered.

This is awesome, thank you very much for this. Very interested in the other Races, especially Skaven and Dwarfs.

Here is the vampire counts list:

struggling a bit with the grave guards troop type.

I just remembered, Demonworld has some great 15mm dragons that could be well sized for warmaster

e.g.

That idea is pretty good I like it.

I had to say that, as I see it, WM fantasy araby has more in common with Ottoman Trukish army of 15-16 century than Islam expansion century  8-9 century or Islam crusaders 9-12 century.

Pendraken has a Renaissance range of 16th C. Ottoman Turks that I believe it could be a great proxi army for the core units of the fantasy list.

Anyway, great blog and great initiative!

excellent find! both models look really good!

I actually opted for a stag beetle without the goblin riders from the same range to use as a Bone giant in my khemri list... I might also pick up a giant scorpion for my second bone giant

Oh that sounds good!  The scorpion looks fab but there is no photo of the giant stag beetle. =-<

[Stormwind]

Hey, did you ever find any 10mm "streltsi" russian musketeer troops?

I think its exactly the same with the ridden one. Here you go:

Based on a suitably khemri looking base and maybe adding some plastic pieces from the Khemri Fantasy range  as rubble, it should look perfect!
