From MilesR: A 6mm Republican Roman Army - part I (385 points, pending Curt's review & approval)

The first submission for Challenge XI from the Lair is part of a Republican Roman Army - all in glorious 6mm with figures from the superb Baccus range.

As you can see in the first pictures, there are some Spanish and Italian allies still being painted that will join the ranks in a few days.

The heart of any Roman army is it's heavy infantry which are represented in this force by 8 bases of Hastati (front) and 8 bases on Principaes in the back.  Each base has 24 figures.

Only 2 bases of Triarii - that will have to be remedied when the mythical Baccus shopping cart opens back up.

For ranged support there are 6 bases of Balearic slingers and 2 bases of scorpions.

Skirmishing ahead of the heavy infantry will be 12 bases of Velites, each with 8 figures.

 

Finally 8 bases of Roman Cavalry some with 6 and others with 5 figures (45 total figures).

In the front are 4 bases of allied Italian Hoplites

These are all based for the Age of Hannibal ruleset which is our ancients mainstay at the club.  They're a lot of fun and the basing is generic enough that these troops can be adapted for other rulesets if needed.

Sorry about the picture quality, the workshop is in a bit of disarray with the holidays (that's my current excuse).  Once I've got a better place to take some pictures, I will update this post.  Remember I adhere by Stalin's definition of quality when it comes to painting.

In terms of total figures painted 

24 Figure bases:  22x24 = 528

8 Figure Bases:  18x8= 144

Scorpions  8 figures & 2 scorps

Cavalry 45 figures

Grand Total

Infantry Figures        680 x 0.5pts = 340 points

Cavalry                      45 x 1 = 45 points

Grand Total:  385 Points
