Completed Minoans for ADG
« on: September 16, 2017, 12:58:56 PM »
Hello,

About to start building a 6mm Minoan/Mycenaean army for L'Art de La Guerre. Here are my thoughts and a start on my camp element.

No point having a Minoan lady without boobing her up! And I say that in the most respectful way. If you're going to do it, you have to do it properly. 😉

It's not the size, it's how you use it... ;)

A small update on the project, although progress is pretty slow. http://irregularwars.blogspot.co.uk/2017/09/slowly-minoan-camp-comes-together.html

Yup that is lovely colour choices & painting, very evocative.

And in 6mm, you can show it off with the intro "its a small army but minoan".

Thank you, thank you Im here all week!

Very interesting vessel conversion, nice tent!
Really bright colors, neat painting! Well done!

Those are very, very nice, Nic. Not only are the conversions superb, but those colours are just beautiful...very pleasing to the eyes.

BTW, thank you so much for your recommendation in Byrtnoth's post. I took the plunge and ordered a Pendraken LR army pack and I am extremely excited. I've been able to crank out a unit/stand a day for Dux Bellorum/Comitatus and now have a nice little Italian field army. The painting is not as tedious as 6mm (maybe it's tedious because I have a 2 x 3 foot board filled with tongue depressors holding 6 strips each of Dacians and I think, ugh, how am I ever going to paint these hundreds of shields?  ...so they sit)

But the 10's go fast... and a great amount of detail for the size. I really love the scale now that I've painted a few!

Maybe this post will inspire me to finally get those Dacians done, can't wait to see more of your Minoans as these are really beautiful.

You go to war with the figures you have, not the figures you wish you had!

looks great. I have just returned from a vacation on Crete - mostly filled with visiting archeological sites and museums - and I love this interpretation of Minoan era.

Having visited Akrotiri Thera and the Athens National Museum several times, I have to say that you have caught the feeling of the period perfectly! Congrats!
Eager to see more of you!
