Sporaticus
A 'Hordes of the Things' List
by Stan Olson
Fresh from the Epic Gladiator Films of yesteryear, here is an army-pack idea, for a Producer of 15mm historical - fantasy ancient figures.
EPIC SLAVE REVOLT

Riders @ 2AP (Cavalry) |
2 |
|
Warband @ 2AP (Gladiator trained-led) |
3 |

Hordes @ 1AP ( Slave rabble-mobs ) |
4 |

Warband @ 2AP ( burning logs plus crews ) |

(With apologies to Kirk Douglas and the makers of the movie 'Spartacus')
Note: Most figures would be wearing tunics of cloth or leather with no helmets and using Roman swords, plus light infantry (auxilia) legionary, or domed buckler (gladiatorial) shields. Rabble/Hordes would be armed with pick-axes, spears, clubs etc. Riders are armed with spear and shield (no helmets). Burning logs with handlers are two figures plus a 20mm long "log". "Sporaticus" should be mounted, .perhaps with Tony Curtis to assist him.
