From RossM: 6mm Greek Artillery (6 pts)

Second entry for this year's challenge and it is both small in scale and points; not that either really matter it's the fun of being that counts. 

The entry consists of two torsion catapults from Baccus Miniatures that evaded glued fingers and general mishaps in the prepping and painting. The catapults are four part kits and needed some help with blu-tack to prop bits up during drying. Still managed to have a bit of slippage on one but it's not the end of the world at 1/300 scale.





For the Challenge Points tally these net a hefty 6 points total which takes my running total to 14 (2.8 % of my challenge total). There are a few things in the pipeline that will improve that over the next few weeks. 

Anyhow, enough rambling and cheers for now!


Those are big machines even in a small scale.  I'd hate to be on the receiving end of what they're chucking about.  Four-part kits at this scale is pure torture so kudos for getting these up and running without damage to your digits.  Nice basing too.

  1. Good looking little big warmachines, Ross! But I was wondering, do you get any points for the crew?

    1. It's one point for the machine and 0.5 for each of the 8 crewmen.

    2. Yip, as with all crewed weapons, the crew count and at this scale the more the merrier.
