Re: larger MU Gauges

I did like the “fleuriken” answer, and take it as a challenge to work into a French Medieval camp in some future build!

Re: larger MU Gauges

I believe it is just a nicer looking way to cut out the necessary gap between the two adjacent sides.

Re: 15mm Assyrian Wars: Assyrian camp.

Also, I would like to know your technique for painting the art on the tent. I assume you sketched or used line art for the animals, then added the colors using layering techniques?

Re: 15mm Assyrian Wars: Assyrian camp.

That is outstanding work. You have amazing skill at painting the details. I also like the smaller touches, like having the separate figure stand based as if they are standing on a carpet.

The Mitanni were a people of Hurrian origin who established a kingdom in northern Mesopotamia in about 1500 BC. It was a feudal state led by a chariot-riding warrior nobility. At the height of its power, Mitanni was a rival with the other great states of that region - the Hittites and the Egyptians....

15mm Mitanni Camp

The Mitanni military aristocracy depended heavily on well-trained horses to draw their chariots. This 15mm camp depicts several Mitanni trainers putting their horses through conditioning drills in order to support the resupply needs of the chariot forces. The idea for this camp came from a remarkabl...

Re: Libyans vs. Egyptians, 2200 BC

Thanks again for all the positive comments.

I believe a Libyan army in DBA was 11 stands of "Psiloi" and a Chariot, so a total of 24 figures on the board. This Triumph! version has 64 figures and they are almost all on larger bases, so it does give a more spectacular look.
