Roman Army (pic heavy)

[jet]

Hey All,

I know ancients aren't the norm around here, but as my main forum, I thought I'd show you guys the finished product.  The army has been based to play Impetus, my new favourite Ancients game.

The entire army arrayed for battle.



Legionnaires



Auxilia



Eastern Archers



Artillery



Balearic Slingers



Javelinmen



Equites Alares



Numidian Cavalry



Command Staff



Thanks for looking,

Looks like 6mm Baccus figures?

Very nice painting and the bases finish them off nicely 

[answer_is_42]

Very nice indeed, especially the bases.

I've always wanted to do an ancients army like this. Do you have any opponents for them?

Do you have any opponents for them?

Actually, my friend has done a Parthian army.  He painted and I did the bases for him.  Obviously, there's lots of heavy and light horse.

Looks like 6mm Baccus figures?

Yes indeed, all models are 6mm Baccus.  Thanks for the positive feedback,

  Very nicely done. 6mm is a great scale for massive battles (I'm still in love with my Epic 40K), and your work is a perfect example of this. At this scale it'd be easy to make an entire 1000-man legion, something I am working on in 15mm, and 28mm.

something I am working on in 15mm...

Wow, that's impressive!

..., and 28mm.

Sir, you are a madman    I tip my hat in your general direction.

Thanks for the compliments,
JET

  Very nice, my jaw hit the floor when the first picture came up. What are the base sizes?

All bases have 6 cm frontage. The depth varies depending on the unit; skirmishers are 2 cm deep, all other infantry is 3cm, cavalry is 4cm.

Hello!

Beautiful job, you paint very good 6mm miniatures!

I was thinking paint something in 6mm, and seing this...surely I will start a new proyect!.

Bye.

Ever since the articles in Wargames Illustarted and talking to Pete Berry at Salute last year I've been thinking about 6mm at some stage, particularly the Great Northern War and Spanish Wars of Succession.

I was going to succumb at Salute this year but instead we are going on Holiday so I'm saved, this year

Those are positively gorgeous! More pics of the parthians if you ever get around to it! I have baccus Parthians on the to do list!

I really need to finish off my Napoleonics so I can pick up a Roman army. Was that any particular Baccus army deal or was it cobbled together from seperate packs?

[Paul @ Warlord Games]

Now that is a very pretty army! I don't usually go a lot on armies that small but you've based it beautifully...
