Magister Militium 3mm Romans

[shandy]

Hi!

At CRISIS, I saw the new 3mm range by Magister Militium and was immediately captivated: The figures were tiny but still recognizable and they produce a real mass effect:



But why a new size? When I was home, I contacted Richard Clewer from Magister Militium and asked him a couple of questions about his personal motivation behind the figures. I've now published this short interview on my blog:

I'm not quite sure why I'm that fascinated by those figures... I've been contemplating 6mm for a while, but now I'm sure I will get some of the 3mm figures to do my Boudica project. I guess its the impression of large masses of men that does it.

Cheers

3mm  has been around as a scale for at least 5 years with the figures for ACW and Napoleonic from Oddzial Osmy - they also do 1/600th moderns and WW2 which are 3mm...

Nice looking figures though...

Really? That had passed below my radar, thanks Mike.

EDIT: I've now included a note in the blog entry about this.

I have recently got into 3mm moderns. The mass effect is not the only benefit, as for me it'll be the figure/ground scale comparison which'll come into play too.
