Okay, so it's not Epic but it is 6mm...

One of the sculpting lists I subscribe to did a fast sculpting challenge this weekend. I only had 3 hours to spare, so thought I'd do a 6mm figure. I'm well pleased with him, so I thought I'd show him off - my 6mm Spartan Hoplite!
regards,
Reaver

On a side note: I would love to see a 6mm historical tabletop wargame :)

Hmm, lots of 6mm ancient manufacturers. My favorite is Baccus. I play warmaster ancients but again there are many rule sets out there.

Really nice sculpt Reaver.

6mm is definitely the way to go for Ancients, IMHO.

Hey Reaver, it REALLY looks like you  :D  :p  :;):
And - stunning! That is something I could never do - well, I might, on the 7,998,677th attempt.

Wow, it looks cool :)

@BL: I would also recommend WMA and Baccus.

Thanks for the positive feedback, everyone!
And I must agree, Baccus do excellent stuff - I've been a fan of their ECW range for a long time now.
As for Warmaster, it's a good system, and WMA has fixed some of the bugs it had, but I can't help wondering if the E:A ruleset could be adapted for historical stuff; and it shouldn't be too hard to do. Strip out the Aero section, the Warmachines, transports, AVs, and you'd have a very fast-playing, streamlined ruleset - I think I'll try it and see if it works! I feel a PDF coming on...

Regards,
Reaver

It's funny, I played E:A recently, and remarked that it reminded me in many respects to Warmaster.  Warmaster are an excellent ruleset.  I think if you tinker with E:A, you will just end up with Warmaster, so why bother?

P.S. - Love the spartan.  Now you need a 15mm Xerxes!
