Well, paint me pink and call me Percy!

Chap down our club has done an ECW infantry regiment in 1:1 - 800 6mm figures. He uses it to explain to Joe Public why wargames units are relatively small.

Eh... I have Spanish Tercio of about 600 men painted up in 20mm... what does that make me?

Cheers,

I have data (e.g. enlistment dates, wounds, physical description, birthplace, profession, literacy, height, etc) for 23,000 of those present. 

I want to label the base of each man when they are all done. Four more years to complete the rest.

All I can say is why     But it wouldn't be a hobby if there had to be a reason

Still not I'm happy to report! Actually; as soon as I can lay my hand on some more pikemen I'll probably start expanding the Tercio again

Well, I can't but admire that sort of single-mindedness. But how on earth do you manoeuvre it? On a very large movement tray? And who do you get to oppose it?

TMP seems to be down at the moment so I can't check, but from memory isn't it both sides and aren't movement trays visible?

This is ECW 1:1 scale

[toxicpixie]

Fenton, that looks awesome!

I wonder if Oddzial Ozmy do ECW... I don't have any Pico scale stuff, and an excuse to get into yet another period on yet another scale is needed. Argh, no, argh, help me, my time and wallet cannae take no more!

[Fenton]

No ECW from Odzil Ozmy at  the moment just Napoleonics and ACW. I do have a lot of WW2 which is nice but I just cant seem to get into painting their Napoleonic figures

[toxicpixie]

I'd have to restrain myself from trying to paint *to much* detail, and try to set back with a view to the overall effect... it should be easy, but I get narked at 6mm in that sort of vein, so think I'd just combust on 3mm!

Irregular do 2mm.  Steve J has ECW armies, there're piccies here: http://www.irregularminiatures.co.uk/indexes/2mmindex.htm

Yeah, I just looked at the Irregular ones when the comment came up; they're nice enough but I'd want much bigger blocks - 2mm should be about massive numbers of "figures" per unit IMO, so an inch wide "40 figure" block incl both pike and musket feels wrong. It should be a six inch wide block with 400 figure equivalents

Hmm, although their Ancients pikes might be usable, now I dig deeper...
