Title: Seleukids vs Parthians (in glorious 6mm!)
Post by: Irregular Wars Nic on August 24, 2020, 05:01:45 PM

Returning to L’Art de la Guerre after a hiatus of a couple of months, it was a with great enthusiasm that I took the role of a youthful Antiochos III defending the Seleukid Empire from Andrew’s Parthian incursion (c.210 BC).

There is a full write up and loads of photos on the blog. --> http://irregularwars.blogspot.com/2020/08/seleukids-vs-parthians-6mm-lart-de-la.html (http://irregularwars.blogspot.com/2020/08/seleukids-vs-parthians-6mm-lart-de-la.html)

I love 6mm for this scale of battle.  They look like proper armies and maneuver.

Looks like you had a good game - like the elephants.

Man, how I wish that I could paint 6mm as well as so many others do.

Thanks gents. The rules are great, and the scale is perfect to give a mass-look to the battles as you say.

@Inkpaduta - all you need to remember is that you are painting units, not figures, and brown undrecoat is your best friend. :D
