Lovely painting.

I really do like 15mm, especially nowadays with the great figures that are coming available, but unfortunately for me, my old eyes just can't hack it anymore.

Looking forward to seeing more!

Post by: Prof.Witchheimer on 20 January 2012, 11:59:24 AM: Amazingly well painted miniatures, especially taking into account the fact that these figures are 15mm.

Sorry the delay, didn't notice your reply. Actually I was at Attriticom last year, presenting LAM miniatures :)

Not sure if I will make it to Attriticon this year but I really hope I will.

Great addition. I would name him Kleitos, no idea why, for some reason he looks to me more like Kelitos then Hephaistion.

Post by: Relic on 24 January 2012, 12:27:23 PM: Amazing! Really inspirational stuff for us fellow 15mm gamers :). I love the amount of detailing you have put into the figures. That really shows how important it is to take the extra mile. It really is worth it. those bases are especially lovely. Where did you get all those plants?

Hi Relic, thanks for kind comment.

The plants come from a German company named "Mininatur". Just follow the link to reach their hp: http://www.mininatur.de/silhouette_home.php?lang=en (http://www.mininatur.de/silhouette_home.php?lang=en)

Post by: Prof.Witchheimer on 20 February 2012, 01:38:34 PM: Elli looks cute :) nice freehand work.

15mm has definitely some great advantages, I could set up a whole bunch of elefants without paying a fortune for them.
Title: Re: DBA 15mm Pyrrhic II/27b
Post by: HereWego on 26 February 2012, 11:31:33 AM: Yes you are right. 15mm are very cheap alternative for huge armies!
