Good video thanks for posting. I’m just getting into 6mm ACW myself, and trying to glean all the info and help I can as far as preparation, mounting, painting, etc. I appreciate all of you that post these helpful and informative videos.
Love the 6mm and 10mm sizes. This size you get a proper scale of battle, never truly understood the obsession with Skirmish games to be honest. I get they are quick and easy to play but nothing beats hearing, our right flank has collapsed and you have no idea why as you have been focused on the left flank the entire game and have no clue how it has happened but you need to now react to it! These figures look beautifully painted. Well done
I agree, you can’t beat a good old big battle😁 I do like digging into the weeds a bit with small unit actions too though. Raids and border skirmishes can be great fun. Thanks for watching mate.
John Eskins you would probably be surprised, I actually find the 6mm easier to paint, you don’t have to worry so much about the details! Thanks for watching 👍
Fantastic, looks really impressive and WotR is one of my favourite periods. Wish I could do this but I just don’t seem to get anywhere with the small scales and they make such great looking armies.
The world's smallest wargame in the world's smallest wargame. They look great. It's like a wide shot from a historical epic to see them all out like that. I have to ask what font size is on those labels?
Just found this video - the army is superb. Beautiful stuff. I need to ask - how on earth did you paint the striped effect on the mounted men-at-arms ? Amazing !
Hi mate, So you play a standard unit as three bases? What size of base do you use for the frontage? I'm looking at using baccus 6mm and Hail Ceaser for medieval games too, but I'm a bit unsure about representing the Hail Ceaser rules in 6mm. Especially with regards t formations etc.
My units are 3 bases wide for a standard unit each base is 60mm x 30mm. Most units are 6 bases in 2 ranks. So unit frontage is 180mm, depth is 60mm. Its pretty much what I would use if I were to use 28mm. Any basing you come up with will work, so long as you can tell a small, standard and large unit apart. Hope that helps. Stig
Did you achieve that effect with the men at arms you show at 3.40 into the video by taking the minis off the strips or are they still attached to the strips they come on? Thanks
Hi, so with the armoured MAA and Billmen, the come on strips of 4, one behind the other. They are designed to be cut up and based individually. It's not quite as fiddly as it sounds however. Infact, the bowmen are the same too. I paint them on the strips, then clip them apart when basing them up. Maybe I could do some sort of tutorial for my method of basing these little dudes. Stig.
@@My_Toy_Soldiers for the main lords I got it all from the poleaxed source books and the standard badges and livery colours of the wars of the Rose's, available from freezywater publications. You can get them from the lance and longbow society. The lesser nobles I used a bit of artistic licence, as not much is known.
Terrific. I now have an increased respect for 6mm - tho' will stick to 15's and 28's. But that 'mass effect' looks magnificent.
Wow!!! Those look amazing. Makes me want to get into 6mm. Thanks for sharing!
Those are fantastic. A particular favourite period of mine.
Magic! A real treat to see. A great talk through also, I really enjoyed watching. Thank you for posting.

Very impressive! What a wonderful game that could be played with all those models.
Outstanding! I love 6mm exactly because of the mass effect. Lovely painting mate.
Beautiful army.
In a word, "Wow!".
Thanks, I do like the 6mm chaps!
great work mate thanks for the inspiration

Magnificent collection... the labels on the bases were really well done... nice and minimal but also legible.
Jeffrey Garrison cheers, more to add though!
This is a beatiful work, i'm working on a huge 6mm napoleonic project too, and your video was a great motivation for me.
Fantastic collection Steve, inspirational!
vonketteringham cheers frazer, I reckon I need some more though.....
Absolutely superb - must look great when set in terrain.
That is probably the nicest presentation of 6mm that I have come across. enjoyed, thanks
Norman Smith thanks very much glad you enjoyed seeing them 👍
Very nice collection there 👍 I’ve just started to prime up some ancient British
Bedroom Railway Mat excellent, I look forward to seeing them 👍
Stunning work! I’m a big fan of 6mm myself (WW2, Naps ACW, and sci-fi) so I know how much work it must have taken to paint this little lot!
Yep, but worth all the effort i think, cheers!
one of the most impressive armies ive seen in any scale
Thanks very much🙂
Congratulations!!!! What a great army!!!! I wish I had them.
Guillermo Cano Serradell thanks!
What a splendid and impressive collection!!
Phil R thanks!👍
Wow great collection would great to see them in a battle report!
Very impressive collection. That’s a lot of work, but it was time well spent. 👍
Mary Hinge indeed it was a lot of work, but I love them 😁
fantastic collection mate, 6mm I just couldn't do it, bloody well done sir
Leon T66 Cheers old bean! 👍😁
Also couldn't do 6mm. Just too darn small. I could just about do 15mm, but prefer 1/72. Very nice all the same!
John Eskins you would probably be surprised, I actually find the 6mm easier to paint, you don’t have to worry so much about the details!
Thanks for watching 👍
Fantastic, looks really impressive and WotR is one of my favourite periods. Wish I could do this but I just don’t seem to get anywhere with the small scales and they make such great looking armies.
Lee Hughes well the same can of course be achieved with the 28’s but I’ll cost a bit more😂
Very nice, all the best Garry
Nice work on the 6mm miniatures, just like 15mm you get the majestic look of a massive army when they are finished.
Helcarexe26 indeed, it’s a great scale for the big battles!
This is so impressive and daunting words fail me
Haha, too kind. Just one unit at a time, took ages lol
@@stigofthedump181 I bloody bet!
Beautiful. Inspired to do a ‘Never mind the Billhooks’ army in 6mm.
Yes, me too!
Awesome collection
basic miniature painting thanks 😁
wow they look awesome.
pancakepayney payne thanks very much. 👍
Great painted army.
Great work👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Marcello Colombarini thanks!
That's awesome to see mate
IDICBeer 40k cheers 👍
Nicely done!
X_BriX cheers!
Amazing!
These look amazing, I am currently working on 6mm 2nd punic war, looking to get napoleonics as well soon.
really awesome
stephen gache thanks👍
The world's smallest wargame in the world's smallest wargame. They look great. It's like a wide shot from a historical epic to see them all out like that. I have to ask what font size is on those labels?
Jay-mu-zu von Cippangu I cant remember the font size... pretty small though!😁
😮 Amazing.
kenneth p thanks, glad you like them. 👍
Just seen your video, I’m looking to do 6mm Samurai armies. How long did it take to get your models to this state? Great work!
Not that long to be honest, probably a couple of months Chipping away at them on an evening.
For even large scale battles, you could use 2mm, if your eyes are good enough.
Very nice sir
Just found this video - the army is superb. Beautiful stuff. I need to ask - how on earth did you paint the striped effect on the mounted men-at-arms ? Amazing !
Thanks very much😁 the striped effect.... well just patience and bloody mindedness I think😂 cheers for watching.
Impressive!
Ralph Astley cheers Ralph 😁

The army looks absolutely fantastic by the way!
@@stigofthedump181 Great, thanks for that!
impressive colection. Where do you source your flags from?
They are mostly images I've found online, downloaded, and resized, some are from Baccus.
Did you achieve that effect with the men at arms you show at 3.40 into the video by taking the minis off the strips or are they still attached to the strips they come on? Thanks

@@stigofthedump181 I would love that, thanks for the info
Where did you do your reading for the colour schemes and the names of the units Stig?

@@stigofthedump181 thank you very much!
Whoa!

Hello what bases sizes are you using on the infantry and cav?
Hi the infantry are on 60x30 bases, the cav on 60x40. Hope that helps👍
