Xenos/Dragon Rampant Leonid force from Alternative Armies



A Pride.  12 models ideal for Dragon Rampant.  Separate out the shooters for 8 - Bast's army for Of Gods And Mortals.  Each of these has a letter bead for Rogue Stars.

Xenos Rampant 2 teams (packs?) of 5 plus an inferior recon.


Upgrading my Leonid/Bast army for Xenos and Dragon Rampant.

20% off is not to be sniffed at - particularly when you get a free model.  £50 spent, £21 saved.  Proper job, well done Alternative Armies.  Paypal pay in 3 helps as well!

The only non AA units are the (now OOP) lion pride from Battle Valor and a mix of lionesque humans from both Battle Valor and Magister Militum.     

"Good grief Doctor! They're--"  The Doctor pulls him aside.  "As human as you my boy, many of the beings that you humans call gods emit radiation, some dangerous but many benign.  These people have worked near their god and have - changed.  Mostly it's beneficial, they're bigger, more resilient and may live longer, hmmm?."  He glances around.  "But the big - chaps, Doctor?  Surley?--"  The Doctor assumes his teaching pose.  "No, they were genetically altered from European lions thousands of years ago by a lost civilization.  Here, in the service of our host they and the remnants of the science from that time survive."

I have normal Egyptian infantry from Peter Pig that could be finished.  Honest.  No, I really mean it! 

When this range came out I ordered one of everything.  Most got painted and used.  But now I want them for my Time Wars campaign.

Brief overview:

The Recon troops have the biggest upgrade.  Pack of crystal bikes (3)  to convert.

3 packs of single bikes to make dismounted recon, snipers/anti snipers.  Plus 2 of each rifle armed and cannon crew.  

3 packs of female hunters and male pack leaders to make infantry units, about 12 in all.

Males to add to GZG sleds as weapon operators.  Or not, I cannot make my mind up!  There's supposed to be more to include vehicles.

I hope you can follow the process!

A quick note on basing & organisation.  Big stuff on 2p's and regular 1p's.  Doubles on 2p's for gun crew, specialists such as command and recon.  One double removed per 2 casualties.

Mob.  Ravenous horde.

Scouts, based on 2p's and in 2's so more open formation and easy recognition.

I'm starting to do command units as a 3 & 2 for the same reason.


Males are big, so a 2p gives a normal looking basing.
