A study in practical nostalgia, travelling back to the early 1980's with a fistful of cash, to buy all the stuff I couldn't afford on a paperboys salary.
Nicely done. Admit I've always liked this figure but haven't got round to an army yet. Rather than the 'official' Garrison spearman I'll be using the Stygian spearman, for cavalry it's a goblin on a horse instead of riding lizard, light horse archer is either Late Roman or Byzantine - I forget which - which is basically a cavalry version of the Elf foot archer.

Yes, the official spearman is a bit odd...good for provincial militia , but not very elvish. The Stygian chap is far better.
