For sale - 15mm ancients

I'm considering selling off some stuff that I'm unlikely going to be using in the foreseeable future. Both painted and unpainted items, and even some basing materials.

All prices are without postage. If you buy several items, we can discuss a discount. I've marked what is already sold.

Painted, all 15mm:

1. Half a Classical Spartan DBA Army, €10 (includes the unpainted figures to complete it).
Contains 5 bases of spear, 1 base of spear command, and a singly based commander. I also include the other half of the army, but they are still unpainted (some more spear, 3 cavalry figures, some psiloi). The figures are all Xyston, They are painted to a good wargames standard, but only glued to a piece of cardboard, not built up or flocked. See http://dalemunk.blogspot.se/2010/02/spartans.html or picture below.



2. A Pict DBA army, €10
Contains 12 bases, all figures from Essex. Painted (simplistically, this is one of my older armies) and the bases simply painted green and flocked. General in Light Chariot, Light Chariot, 2 LH, 2 Ps, 6 Wb.



3. An Early German extended DBA army, €20
Contains 17 bases (all options): 1 Cv Gen, 1 Wb Gen, 5 Ps, 9 Wb. 1 Bd (can be used as Wb). Painted and based to a decent wargames standard. Most figures are Donnington, some are Essex.



4. A Sarmatian army, €20
Contains 12 bases, all figures are TTG (Table Top Games). Painted and based to a good wargames standard. 10 bases of Kn, 1 base of Kn Gen. 1 LH. See http://dalemunk.blogspot.se/2009/01/dba-15mm-sarmatians.html or pictures below

Well painted Corvus Belli in the front, normally painted other suppliers in the back.

However, 2 stands of legion infantry, the large ballista, 2 stands of auxiliary infantry and 1 stand of mounted command are Corvus Belli and painted and based to a better standard (incl. hand painted shield designs). Separate pictures of these below, also some legionaries in the picture above.
