10x Classic Escher minis for Necromunda from an unwanted Box of Shame I was given before christmas. One of them needed a replacement blade for her sword and another was missing an arm. I 3D printed all the bases.

June 22, 2020 at 5:30 pm #1542065June 22, 2020 at 7:28 pm #1542095I am currently working on a 6mm II/56 Early Imperial Romans army for DBA 3.0.
I still have some cavalry and the baggage/camp to finish.
It really is appalling that DBA is not played and talked about. This game is the Pac-Man of historical wargaming. Every army is 12 bases plus a camp (and a stand of camp followers for those who like to leave their camp undefended). It is an affordable wargame option. Armies also paint quickly.
I use 6mm Baccus (and some Irregular) with the larger 6cm/60mm basing widths. The game board is 3 feet by 3 feet. The bases 2mm width. They are made by LitkoAerosystems (no plug, no schill). I have also cut my own bases from pvc sheets.
The gaming muggles out there mostly use 15mm models and 4cm width bases. I have yet to meet another hoomin who plays with 6mm and the 6cm frontages.
I recommend checking out DBA 3.0. Phil Barker’s wife wrote a wonderful book called ‘Sue Laflin-Barker’s Start Ancient Wargaming Using Dba 3.0’. It goes for 24$ on Amzafarts with Prizzime. The kindle version is less.
She explains how to build an army, play the game and go from there. The book includes the full rules and period selectors for 30 or 40 popular historical era’s.
The actual DBA rulebook includes all the army lists. You need to get that if you want to field a Nabatean or Songhai Dynasty army or any other lesser known nation.
This book is great. I wish I had an aunt like Sue. I inspire to be that cousin or uncle for my younger family members. I give this book to people as birthday gifts.
I digress. DBA 3.0. Keep wargaming great…and 6mm… and 60mm frontages.
This version of the rules is very easy to read. PB has listened to feedback and wrote more recent rules in a less IKEA instructions manner. I refer to all the editions of DBMM, it’s army books and DBA 3.0.
His wife does not suffer from his technical writing skills. Her book is a nice shady tree, ham-cock, dog and lemonade read.
