Romans and Barbarians
Elephants, Elephants and Elephants
All 1066 stuff

Vietnam
Arab-Israeli Wars
African Imagi-nations
Soviet-Afghan war

14/09/2018 at 15:33 #99352RhodericMemberI separate out and compartmentalise dozens of different flavours of fantasy, sci-fi and other fantastical genres as things I like independent of each other. I won’t list them. Suffice it to say I can’t pick favourites, so they’re all things I have or intend to have as projects, although many of them are fairly unambitious individually and there will be quite a lot of cross-use for figures and terrain.
I like pretty much all of history and moderns, but not intensely enough to want to invest myself in them, unless possibly in very low-maintenance ways (e.g. 6mm skirmish and 2-3mm massed battles, combined with beginner-friendly rules and an amount of research that stays at the level of broad strokes and so-called “potted history”).
15/09/2018 at 09:33 #99369Autodidact-O-SaurusParticipantIn terms of collections I’d have to list:
28mm Marian Romans, Gauls, Carthaginians and Polybian Romans, a smattering of other Successors
54mm and 28mm Gladiators
1/600 ACW Naval, 10mm ACW armies
28mm Aztecs and a few Conquistadors
28mm FIW
54mm Spanish-American War and AWI, some Colonial Brits and Zulus, some Boers
1/144 and 1/72 scale WWI aircraft
I’ve had other periods/scales come and go but these are the things I tend to keep. Though I’d probably part with the planes and the 10mm stuff if the right offer came along. Of course, the only active collection at the moment is the ancients.
