Hi all. Id like to thank you all for making me feel welcome as a new player/observer at the October meeting.
I was very interested in some of the historical games in particular and have already ordered a copy of the rulebook for L’Art de Guerre.
Since ill be starting my 15mm collection from scratch i was thinking of going for a Seleucid or Successor Army that could one day be split into two separate Greek and Persian armies in the future. Im not familiar with the models themselves though, does this sound like a viable plan?

I guess it depends on what you are comfortable doing. The Persians and Greeks from the Seleucid period were quite different from that of the Persian Wars period, so if you are OK with fielding a pair of armies made of later period models than that could be OK. If you’re not, then just build one army that you can enjoy playing with over time.
To be honest, I think the best idea is to go with whatever army you want to paint and play with. If you love the history of the army, and are inspired by the look of the troops and their formations, you are on a winner. If you can use the army’s units later on it’s a bonus.
My advice would be to build the Successor army and use it for what it is for now as you are learning the game. If you want other armies later on you are always free to build them. But this is just my humble opinion of course. 😉
