Descent into 2mm Ancients

other times it makes me go "oh that works doesn't it"

This definitely counts as one of those times

Ha! Cheers.


I'm sculpting a couple more variants in poses for the legionaries, plus chaps with horns and standard and what have you, but in the meantime I've based the auxilia and archers so thats a third of this army done!






Camera wasn't playing ball so focus isn't great but still, that is starting to look like something of an actual army now aint it





Legionaries not glued down, but quick mockup to show how much more dense their formations will be by comparison.

And now for something extra tricky. The famously easy task of drawing horses.



We'll see if they look right at the actual size on the table.

The first test came out allright I think. I put them in a bit of a random cluster for strength and on the final ones I definitely will pay more attention to how I fill up the gaps between the legs, its a bit shallow on these. I tgubj those look roughly horse shaped from a distance, if you squint, right?

For 2mm figures, they look pretty good to me! I expect once they’re painted they will work fine. The riders will get most of the attention anyway since that’s where the brighter colours will be. Honestly, I wouldn’t worry about the solid bit under the horse/ between the legs, nobody will notice that when they’re on a unit base.
