Great brush work and basing.

Fabulous work! Look forward to the Carthaginians.

A lovely looking army, and with the small scales basing is even more important IMHO. Your basing is spot on.

Das Sheep02 Dec 2014 3:01 p.m. PST

It looks great! 6mm is one of those scales that, if done right, can really give you a sense of a massive battle going on over your table top!

Excellent job thumbs up!

…and look on the blog at those bad boys in detail makes my mouth water a little bit. That is some fabulous brush work.

Thank you very much for all your kind comments gentlemen. They are very encouraging and I will endeavour to get some more eye candy on the blog as soon as possible.

Great work both in painting and your choice of figures

A miniature army that actually looks like an army

Very good brush work. 6mm can be very tricky to paint, and as Toronto48 stated they do look like an army.

Marcus Brutus03 Dec 2014 9:07 a.m. PST

I love the look for 6mm. Hate painting them but love the look. Well done.

As an aside, the Triari occupied the same frontage as the Hastati and Principes but were only 3 ranks deep instead of 6 so two units of Triari would be more accurate with less ranks.

Porthius03 Dec 2014 10:27 a.m. PST

Hi Marcus Brutus thanks for the feed back. The decision to have only one base of Triarii was down to reducing the points cost of the Army and allow me to have some more allies. Though the Legion is painted as one it actually represents two legions in the army list. One with Triarii and one without (being left on guard duty back at camp). I thought about basing them in only two ranks but felt it didn't look as aesthetically pleasing. Maybe one day I will paint up another unit of Triarii so I have all the options.

Marcus Brutus03 Dec 2014 10:37 a.m. PST

Good point. I play 28mm Punic Romans and I rarely use the Triarii because they are just too expensive to field.

david1910303 Dec 2014 3:07 p.m. PST

these look fantastic. have never gamed in a scale that small but those must really lend to an authentic battlefield look.

Best painted 6mm that I've ever seen!
