King Kull's Army of Valusia
By Chow Li

As described in the story "Exile of Atlantis" by R.E. Howard.

Spear General @ 2AP(officers with "trumpeters...clad in scarlet.") 1
Shooters @ 2AP (Bowmen, "tall men of the mountains.") 2
Spears @ 2AP (with "broad shields" and "long spears") 4
Knights @ 2AP ("the mightiest soldiery in all the world, 'Red Slayers,' horsemen armed in red from helmet to spur.") 2
Warbands @ 2AP ("mercenaries...fierce wild-looking men" with spears, heavy swords and bows) 3

Stronghold: City gate of Valusia.

Alternates: Hero General @ 4AP (King Kull, but he does lead the army in the part of the story that describes the army. The army is parading into the city and Kull is greeting it), Hordes or Lurkers @ 1AP (the light foot that bring up the rear of the parade)

The figures could be almost anything. Unlike the Conan stories, the people of Kull's world do not have clear parallels in our world. They all sound like 1000 to 1500 types with some Asian/Aztec/Egyptian/and Greek influence. In a 'Wierd Tales' illustration of a Kull story he appears dressed like a Greek. Really any mix but absolutely a mix.
