Heirs of Empire- Diadochi Army
« on: 31 August 2020, 02:56:20 PM »
Greetings,

I had a thread about my Diadochi Army as I painted it, but the pictures did not seem to work too well in that thread.  Now that all 19 60mm x 60mm bases of 6mm models are done I feel like I can re-share the entire force.  I used Baccuss 6mm Successor range for this army. 

First off, here is a comparison of scale using Victrix Macedonian Pikeman vs the 6mm Baccus versions....



Talk about scale creep!

Here is the whole army together and on a table....



war Elephants lead the way for the Phalanx....


You can see more photos of individual units on my Blog.  I don't want to clutter up the first post here too much.

I don't game in these smaller scales (not yet anyway) but I have to say your army looks fantastic. I tend toward the 'big battalion' end of wargaming and I have often mused if I were to go small, I'd up the troop scale. Your army looks like an army - great troop density.

As 28mm gamer previously, I really enjoyed the 6mm armies. 

1. They look like armies
2. Painting was easier and quicker (Dark Brown undercoat is your friend)

I recommend 6mm a lot.

I'm alway impressed by people who have the patience to paint in this scale.

That second photo, especially brings home the size of the army.

Aye, that's a good start Eric. It's only a matter of time before it doubles or tripples in size.  ;)
