Army number 9 is Classical Indian with scratchbuilt 'Temple by Sacred River' camp (which is not to be taken too seriously!). I also made a Temple camp for my Greeks, again far from perfect but does the job. I now have: Indian, Greek Hoplite, Carthaginian, Macedonian, CeltIberian, Republican and Marian Roman, Celts and Parthian. All are magnetised and stored in wooden cigar boxes. Everything then packs down into a rather flashy outer box including terrain etc.A few photos to share with you.

Cheers
Lee

I love the look of these tiny armies – have you done a painting guide anywhere because they look good and I'm really tempted to try making a portable game in a box (like the cool kids have).

I already do ancients in 28mm and 10mm but I have to admit the really tiny scales like this are intriguing.

Awesome work. Looks great.

I can feel the earth shaking from the marching of all those little feet – and from those elephants!

(the Sacred Temple camps look awesome too)

Great looking army.

Lovely work indeed, really nice.

Appreciate all the comments, thank you.

Not done a painting guide as yet but I may well do. You can pack a LOT of 3mm figures onto a standard 40mm frontage DBA base, that's what I like, you can have 4 x 15mm figures or 48 x 3mm :) A bit more detailed than 2mm blocks but less detail than 6mm!

Here's the Republican Romans out for a parade drill, The 4 deep typical deplyoment with the veteran heavy infantry the Triarii at rear and the skirmishing Velites out in front.

Cheers,

Who makes the figures ?

I have used the Magister Militum 3mm for Marlburian armies, are these their ancient figures ?

UshCha15 Dec 2023 4:41 a.m. PST

ERR, aren't they supposed to be 12 elements, the Romans seem to have 18 elements. They do look goo though.

grambo16 Dec 2023 6:25 a.m. PST

GildasFacit – Yes, these are all by Magister Militum 3mm Ancients :)

UshCha – Well spotted! All my armies have that core of 12 elements but these figures come in big packs and it's a shame to waste them :)

Cheers,
Lee.
