Super painting !! :-bd
Look damn fine, to me.
Cheers - Phil
Excellent work indeed!
Very nice. Love everything 6mm, me. I do have some 10mm chaps (he adds hastily). :)
Wow, they look superb!
Very nice indeed. 8)
Very nice indeed!! Great looking units. :-bd
Thanks.
I realised I forgot the tassels on the flags.

I'm curious, why are all the figures at the back of the base? I would have tended to base them in the middle :-\
The basing is very effective by the way
Now there's something you don't see everyday, and they look amazing!
The curiosity is killing me: why 6 across (for those not aware, Baccus 6mm are in strips of 4)?
V/R,
Jack
Excellent work. Having just painted 6mm figures I know how tricky it is.

I prefer basing in this way to get a large area in front of the figures. By doing so, I can add elements like rocks, bush, grass ... I used 30mm x 30mm bases.

Why not ? ;)
12 figures in the base are little more impressive than 8 8)
Thanks all for your nice feedbacks.
Hecoma,
I didn't mean it as a negative, the troops look great.
I was only asking because that's a lot of work; I'm assuming you used two 'normal' four-man strips, then cut another one up into individuals and added one to the each flank of each rank? Looks great, but too much work for me! ;)
V/R,
Jack

Thought that might be it, the scenery does look good & adds to the effectiveness of the basing
Funnily enough I use two ranks of 6 Baccus in BBB on my 30mm square bases, simply because it looks better. Similarly I have now moved to two ranks of 4 in 10mm on my 25mm square SYW bases. Troops were pretty snug in the age of linear warfare.

Very nice indeed :)
Take care

As an advantage you can get the bases snug against each other when they hit close combat... even in non-18ft pointy stick warfare I sometimes find over enthusiastic basing means someones rank of bayonets sticks out a little to far for easy use :D
Very nice :)

Very nice :)
That was something I was very concious of when working out my AWI basing, front rank is well back to allow for muskets and bayonets ;)
In somewhat regretting my choice of kneeling front rank for my Italian wars pike blocks!
Bet they look boss though.
They do... I should try out my tripod and get some better piccies up on the painting page! Job for next time I pass the filing cabinet :D
Very nice painting and basing.
Cheers Al.
