So I’ve just gotten into ancient wargaming, coming over from Lord of the Rings SBG and am wondering what rule sets would anyone reccomend…to this point, Warhammer historicals look good and modifying Piquet for ancient times also looks interesting.  Input would be appreciated

Try Basic Impetus, is free at http://www.dadiepiombo.com/basic2.html where you can find hundreds of lists.

What kind of game system are you looking for?
And how much lead do you want to throw down on the table?

On the introductory scale De Bellis Antiquitatis, Days of Knights or Armati all have their followings at US conventions.

On the larger more complex side you can move up to Warrior, DBMM or the new Fields of Glory.

I personally did NOT care for Piquet at all and I don’t like ‘buckets o’ dice’ games so your mileage may vary.
