More 6mm Bloody Barons

[Spartacus]

There`s lovely!!

I do like a table with a lot of figures. I always fought shy of 6mm as I thought I could never paint them so went to 2mm which I did not need to do a lot to paint them.

I think I will try a few now------So I stand currently inspired.


Update

Ok! so after a glass or 2 of wine I have decided to do a 6mm Colonial army.

Further update!

6mm British and Zulus ordered with Baccus.

The Zulus should prove a doddle to paint, and a number of companies such as Irregular and Leven produce 6mm Rorke's Drift and Kraals.

@ Andy
Already ordered Humbrol spray matt dark earth---

Definitely the way to go with a Zulu army. The leopard skins on some of the senior leaders will prove interesting, but i managed it on 6mm French dragoon helmets.

@ Andy, I had some practice there with my Polish Winged Hussars! Just need to read up on different dress for married and unmarried warriors. And is there something about how much white on shields?

[Leman (Andy)]

No idea. Only thing I really know about that conflict, having watched both the Zulu films, is that the two lieutenants at Rorkes Drift actually had a lot of facial hair, and that the British sun helmets were stained with tea (or coffee) and not the pristine white of the films.
