I feel your pain :-) I have over a 1000 soldiers and took them all apart,
literally. I then put them back together so that they all matched in large
groups. So, my armies are all identical. For instance, I have 50 dragon
master knights. They all have the dragon emblem on their chest, they all
have black/red legs and black arms. They all are on black horses with green
saddles with a dark gray lance clipped to the side with a yellow and green
flag on it. They all carry the green dm shield and a dark gray sword. They
all have dm helmets with the yellow dragon (plus wings) on the helmet.
I did this sort of thing with all my troops, so it would be really hard to
know which guys came from which lines, outside of the obvious crests on
their chests! But I like them this way. It makes it real easy to make a
king or hero for that segment and they really stand out amoungst their
"breathern."
