Just a brief update today, and the start of a second 6mm project. I've amasssed a lot of Baccus and Heroics and Ros Celts, which I intended to use a part of a larger Punic Wars project I've been toying with. The joy of Celtic units is their versatility; they might be allied divisions for either a Carthaginian or Republican Roman army, or alternatively (as is inevitably the case) the core of an army in their own right...
To test the scheme, I decided to quickly paint up a Command stand and unit of cavalry. I'm really happy with how these turned out; I think the shield designs I tried scale quite nicely to 6mm size, and are still 'legible' without making the shields too cluttered.
And here are some close ups of the commander. I'm really enjoying these figures; a core colour scheme of red, blue and green alternated across figures hits a nice balance between individuality, and the riot of colour that would have been such an army, but also some sense of cohesiveness.
As always, let me know what you think. Until next time!
