From AlanD - Nomad is an Island (141 points)




Well, that island pun is my lame attempt to make my little Huns and allies relevant to challenge Island.You're welcome.



I have been spectacularly unproductive this year, painting almost nothing since last September, but here is a small points bomblet of 6mm figures.

All the figures are from Baccus, and are destined for games of Basic Impetus and to try out some other rules like Swordpoint.


As well as some Huns, I've also finished some subject Hun infantry.

 


 In total, we have 45 cavalry and 192 infantry, so 141 points.

Next up - some Sarmatians!

HOLY CRAP!!!  That is an amazing crowd of little soldiers and that one photo from the front with the shields is truly something to behold!  

While not crisp and clean as they would be in a larger scale (and that is not a slam against you as I think its almost impossible to paint shields crisp and clean at this scale, or at least with my eyes), the overall look and effect here is really nice and as is supposed to be the case in these small scales it is all about the sum being greater than the parts, which is certainly the case here, but that is 100% fine.

Hell, the fact that you even thought to attempt to paint shield patterns at 6mm is boggling to me, and as such I am throwing in some bonus points in appreciation of your level of madness!

Awesome work Alan, keep more units like this coming please!!!
