The Ancients Photo Directory - helping you choose the best figures for your Ancients armies. Over 4,000 photos of 15mm ancients figures including painting by fantastic professional painters and photos from manufacturers websites. The directory is organised in the same way as the original set of FoG Army List Books (sorry, I can't now change it!), with listings for almost every army. You can also search the directory by manufacturer, army or keyword

Anyone can rate the figures just by clicking on the stars beneath each photo. Ratings use a scale of 0-5 where 5 = excellent and 0 = terrible.

Unpainted Xyston Carthaginian Elephant and mahout1047 viewsNew castings from Xyston - review samples, photographed as received.This "carthaginian" elephant is slightly smaller, which is probably a good thing. The two halves of the Xyston smellie will need some filler and the head only has a shallow lug to fasten it to the body
