At last, I have finished the armies for the Battle of Lake Trasimene for the game at Sheffield Triples this coming weekend. Here are some shots of the figures ready for packing.
Breakdown:
ROMAN ARMY
Cavalry: 8 units of 8 figures = 64
Hastati: 8 units of 24 figures = 192
Principes: 6 units of 24 figures = 144
Triarii: 6 units of 12 figures = 72
Velites: 8 units of 12 figures = 96
Command: 7 stands, 15 figures total
Total 583
CARTHAGINIAN ARMY
Spanish Cavalry: 4 units of 12 = 48
Numidian Cavalry: 6 units of 8 figures = 48
Gallic Cavalry: 4 units of 12 figures, 1 unit of 16 figures = 64
Libyan Spearmen: 6 units of 24 figures = 144
Spanish Scutarii: 4 units of 36 figures = 144
Gallic Warband: 6 units of 44 figures = 264
Spanish Caetrati: 3 units of 12 figures = 36
Balearic Slingers: 4 units of 8 figures = 32
African Skirmishers: 7 units of 8 figures = 56
Command: 7 stands, 17 figures total
Total 853
Next up on the painting list, the last of the Romans and two elephants for a big Trebia battle, a mere 100 figures or so. Then I'll be finishing off the other national contingents, Gallic, Spanish and African, a rather more substantial 800 odd. Ho Hum, but at least I'm down to three figure totals.

Absolutely impressive. And stunning. Make a lot of shots in action please:)
Hope all goes well on the day!
That's very nice on all fronts.
Hope you have a lorry to move it all.
Looks like 6mm }:-)
Very nice work. I hope the game goes well.
What word should I use? Impressive seems to me too plain a word... Well done
Hi
That lot must weigh a ton !!!
Very impressive seeing them on 'parade' :-)
Great googamooga! That's a lot of figures...and beautifully painted as well.
Wow!! I'm very impressed, hope you have a great game, lots of photos please!!
To say that's impressive is a huge understatement! Breathtaking comes to mind.

Agree with PatG. Could have saved yourself years of work by doing it in 6mm.
Most impressive, James!
Hugely impressive! Maybe you could post about how you transport them safely?

Very nice! Best of luck for the big day.
Thanks guys.
BRB,
I just put them in old veg boxes from the supermarket, stack 'em in the van and trust to luck. Never had a problem so far.
Wow!

Fantastic effort. Did you need an intravenous drip to take on fluids and food while painting that lot. Looking forward to the miniatures in action at Triples.
