Roman Army (pic heavy)
« on: February 15, 2009, 03:00:10 AM »
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,
JET

Looks like 6mm Baccus figures?

Very nice painting and the bases finish them off nicely  :)

Very nice indeed, especially the bases.

I've always wanted to do an ancients army like this. 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.

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.

One miniature is too many, and a thousand are not enough...

..., and 28mm.

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

Thanks for the compliments,

 :o 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.

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  ;)

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?

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