Along with my first haul of Wargames factory Persian Infantry these will let me build a better Ancient Persian army to face Chuckaroo's Macedonians or possibly his newly acquired Carthaginians. The Hoplites will form a hardened Greek Mercenary center for the army next to the Melophoroi.
The Numidians will form a unit of Cretan Archers. I plan to use the sling and javelin bits from the Numidan box to make either sling or javelin armed Kardrakes or some levy Krytian slingers.
Last, the Persian cavalry is a start for what will become my cavalry horde. I like the models but they don't come with the half barding so I will have to either sculpt the barding on them or pick up some heavier armored cavalry at a later date.
I am planning a 1000 point list from the Warhammer Ancient battle supplement, Alexander the Great to use as an outline to build the army. Once I finalize a list I will post it up and start getting the models built and ready for the table.

I've not played Warhammer Ancients at all. I have been looking into the Warlord Games rule sets quite a bit, with the new starters that have come out for them.
The main reason for me picking Warhammer Ancients to game with, is that I have the rules and several supplements already. I am a history buff but I am weak on Alexander the Great and the Macedonian/Persian war. I am using the army as a jump off to learn more about the period.

I prefer history in some aspects, and i prefer sci/fantasy in others. Though i've always looked more into the English Civil War to the Anglo-Zulu wars, as my time period of choice in terms of gaming. I have delved a little into Ancients and it is growing on me.
The English Civil War supplement is one of the reasons I started picking up the warhammer Ancients rule books. I played a ECW battle at the Catawba gamers game day back in 2010 check the game out here.
