Getting into large battle wargames

I am thinking about expanding my RPG fantasy setting into running wargames in it as well. What I am looking for is a game in which several players play the commanders of different units in the same army, each commanding hundreds or a few thousand soldiers.

I want to start with a fairly mundane baseline of medieval combat and then perhaps later gradually add small numbers of special units with unique magic abilities to it. But it should work without any magic elements as well.

I've started looking at DBA as a rules system, as it is looking relatively compact and simple to play. Would that be a decent pick for someone completely new and running a campaign for others, or are there other games that might be better recommendations for that purpose?

Vampire Knight for WoE

A 3D printed Vampire (Its a Skeleton originally, but i use him as a Vampire, lol) that will become a champion of my undead force. I orignally wanted to give him steel coloured armour, but i thought a vain bloodsucker could use a more colourful variant.

The armor itself was painted with a mix of violet and silver and some of the details, like the rose petal shaped fibula were done with a bit of red, white, bright skin colour and the aforementioned metallic violet.

Reichsritter/Imperial Knights

Heavily armoured Reichsritter made by Perry for my Custom WoE/DR army lists. The army itself is based on the late medieval/early modern HRE and contains a German folklore and mythological touch.

The Perry Men at Arms set is really great to work with, allows extreme customization (And gives a lot of bits to work with the other sets) and i can only recommend it.
