[WMA] Long Ago and Far Away (depending on your location)
« on: August 24, 2012, 09:57:35 PM »
This will be a repository for all my WMA projects. Right now I'm working on Romans and I've got the figs for Huns; both are Baccus 6mm. Any terrain I make for WMA will also go here. No pics yet, but I'll add them soon.

6mm. The fact that you had to ask is a compliment in itself. Thanks to everyone else, too - These things help me not to stall on yet another project.

How many points (units) are you planning to paint?

1k each of Romans and Huns to start - that's what my opponent's have bought. Each comes out to 13 units plus command. I have the Romans mapped and priced to 5k (just over a Legion, with a scale of 1 stand/centuria), though in reality I'll probably not go beyond 2-3k. The Huns I'm playing by ear, as I'm not certain of how my 1k build will fare. I'm hopeful but not totally confident of the utility of a Skirmishing army, so I'll wait until I've gotten some play in before I expand. I have interest in Germans as an OpFor for the Romans, but they can wait for now - they got bumped by the Huns.

My first unit of cavalry, ready for basing.


Any thoughts/C&C on the horses? The only army I painted for Warmaster Fantasy was my Skaven, so this is actually the first cav unit I've painted for Warmaster (or anything else, come to think of it).

Also, while picking up more craft sticks at Micheal's, I came across these:


The medium size is almost exactly Warmaster sized (20mmx39mm to be exact), and the bag was only $2.99 for 42 mediums and a bunch of the large and small sizes. A pretty good deal, I thought.

Matt used those for his EC. You can also find 40% coupons to make them even cheaper.

Another unit of Auxilia done.


That means I have 1 Legion, 2 Auxilia, 1 Heavy Cav, and 1 Archer unit left, plus two commanders.

I think I'll properly base everything I've finished before I move on to the next unit though.
