I guess that's the layout I'm going with then. Cool. Now some cavalry. After this I have a few chariots to do and then my initial batch is done and I'm waiting on further packages.

What size bases are you going for with the chariots? I seem to recall that KoW large cavalry bases are huge due to the need to fit 28mm chariots on them.

looks great! can't wait to see more!

75x50 for a regiment, 75x 100 for a horde. There's a chart on the "kings of war - small scale"Facebook group that I am using.

Cav, cav characters, some chariot teams:

Lovely work on the Elves. I have some of the Irregular High elves and the are one of their best ranges. The Baccus high Elves are nice but a very different style.

I used to have a page of 6mm Fantasy High Elves here but for some reason the page got missed when I updated my fantasy galleries a few years ago. I'll try and update in in the next few days as I just need to edit the photos.

If you are looking for other fantasy ranges in 6mm then have a look at Microworld and Perfect 6.

EDIT I uploaded the page here. its not perfect but hopefully it will help

I've been waiting for your high elf gallery to be updated. Do you have pics of the followers of the light stuff?

I found some microworld in my hobby closet. Unfortunately it's dwarves I don't need so I'm trying to sell it

[6mmfan]

I only have a couple on my Lotr Good alliance page. I sold a lot of them off a few years ago and then unfortunately I had a hard drive failure so I lost all the rest of my photos including more High elves. The ones I had were nice figures (spearmen, spear cmd and horsemen) but I don't know about the others in that range.

I still have a few of those figures but they are half painted so you may not get a good idea of them.

I think the newer sculpts from Microworld, Baccus and Perfect 6 are such an improvement that I wont be buying much Irregular any more. There are some good figures (like the high elves) but a lot of not so good and the cavalry horses are noticeably smaller than the others (except the High elves cavalry).

[lord marcus]

My issue with microworld and perfect 6 is twofold.

Cost/numbers, in that packs of infantry come in 60s or less for the equivalent cost of 100 or so from irregular.

They are single figures, instead of ranks, which I both like better and feel more cleanly cohesive as a unit

[lord marcus]

Update: based what i had preliminarily for the cavalry. I have the remainder of the stands for those bases on the way, so all told not too bad. There will be flock when done.

I also cut up my two remaining elf command stands to to get the standard bearers for use as army standard bearers.







I need to take my desk area apart and reorganize it for something like the 5th time.  Unfortunately though I've got a couple orders to get through before then. I guess it's stuff to fill the time between orders (until holiday or personal life interrupts)

Yes they are more expensive but I tend to use less figures on a base than I would Irregular. Some of the Irregular stuff is well, irregular!

Your High Elves look great and that is a great range

[lord marcus]

Thank you sir. We'll see. I know im getting some more esoteric units from microworld.

[lord marcus]

Sorry for the lack of updates. Still waiting on my 6mm orders.

[lord marcus]

My second order from irregular came in:



Quick snapshot:

More heavy cav
Some light cavalry
4 bolt throwers
Skirmisher bowmen
More HE archers
More swordsmen
A detatchment of mages

A sample ettin
A sample ogre with 2 handed club

Nice little haul there, looking forward to seeing them painted up.

Thanks, me too.

I'll need more bases, but it will start to feel like an actual army soon.

Thankfully my MDF supplier is happy to make more and throw them in my normal weekly order.

Progress update very soon.
