Hannibal antes Portas 4

This is an entirely new scale for me;  2mm something that at one stage I wouldn't have even entertained painting. Well painting isn't entirely the correct phrase, its more like dabbing with colour.

The miniatures are from Irregular Miniatures and were an idea my friend and fellow gamer. His idea was that I paint a Carthaginian and Republican Roman army and pick one, he would supply the figures. 


There are six stands of figures here, four skirmishers and two cavalry, with the furthest away cavalry being started the week before the Challenge so they are not included. All are based on 60mm front and the depths will vary as below: 

Skirmishers: 60 x 15mm
Medium and Heavy Infantry: 60 x 30mm
Cavalry: 60 x 30mm
Elephants: 60 x 40mm



Above the cavalry from the rear and then below from the front. 


These were entered into the Analogue Hobbies Painting Challenge as a Front Desk and New Acquisitions entry (902.2)

Looking forward to posting more work in progress pics and finished entries soon. 

Cheers for now

Oh my goodness how do you paint something that small? Incredible work.

It's more dabbing a colour here, a colour there than painting with brush strokes. Contrast paints and their equivalent are your friends and the brighter, the better.
