To quote Ken...
The reason they came about
was because you can get all the inf. for a Spanish DBA army out of one box
of HAT light infantry and I am a cheapskate. There were always too many
slingers so it seemed like a good idea. The heavy cav I will make from the Cart.
command box which is probably the best value box in the whole series IMHO.
One thing that made a difference was the loctite glue. To give you an idea
of how strong it is, on the slinger figure I just bent his left arm down
without any heat and stuck it to his thigh and it held. It really is
amazing stuff.
My favourite bits are the shields which I
made from plastic lids using a 'leather' hole punch and them just pinned
them on.
The hole punches I picked up at a local market for about £1.00 each and they
come in a range of sizes ideal for all those round shields. You can also cut
a circle then cut a the middle out to get a crescent shaped pelta.
