I'm not sure, but I don't think I'll ever tackle this many figures as a single project again. By the end of it I hated every last one of the little bastards. Now that the painting is done I can relax and enjoy playing with them for the rest of my life.

Phew, that is an astonishing achievement! I take my hat off to you, sir.
Shame you hate them, if you find the emotional burden of having them around too much, I'm sure I could find a better home for them :P
Stunning, btw, both in scale and painting. (Also, this collection must have cost a fortune!)
Wow, James! That is very very impressive, sir.

Epic in every way. I'll hoist a cold beer to you and your spectacular armies and achievement. And then maybe one more because one is not enough. Cheers!
Very impressive !!!
best regards dalauppror
WOW, unbelievable number of figures for one project
Holy crapola Batman.
Truly a great effort! Your are correct in the thought, they are done and for the rest of the time you want to go a Punic Wrring, they'll be at your beck and call. My friends and I have some figures on the rolls for over 40 years now.
Never gets old!
Holy cow! Thats a lot of figures and dedication. Great work.
Dude! That is amazingly insane yet awesomely impressively. I don't think anyone can match this. Respects, Dean
Astonishing work! That is a mighty army. Very very well done.
Wow! I salute you Sir.
It is great to see a project of this size actually finished. How many times have I tried to complete much smaller projects than this and failed and sold the stuff on. I am not sure but it looks like the table is starting to bow in the middle.
Cheers,
Pat.
Wow. Just wow! You deserve a medal for doing all that! It would be daunting in 6mm - let alone 28mm. Take a bow, sir!
Those are some impressive armies. I'm glad you finished them. I'm not sure that I would have the fortitude to stick with it.
That is one really impressive collection of figures! Wunderbar.
brilliant and inspiring - building up my own Punic forces in 28mm too albeit the only thing I have more of is elephants (7) - if you ever need an opponent drop me a line (though I'm over on Merseyside)
cheers

A truly amazing accomplishment in every regard, James!

Awesome work! Now of course it's only a short step to wanting to do the Macedonian wars ;-)
Enjoy the gaming, you've earned it!
Cheers,
Aaron
Amazing stuff! Congrats on finishing it!
You can't know how much I admire your determination. Maybe one day, in another life, I will be able to reach that. Maybe...
Dreaming is free!
By the way, as you can notice, the results are outstanding!
Good job!

Nothing short of fantastic!
Bravo.
Well done James a truly fantastic collection!!!!!!
Fantastic collection and an inspiration to complete my 15mm Carthaginian armies.
The Spanish are nearly complete.
Thank you for the push!!
You are completely up a tree without a paddle!! ;-)
Compared to a lot of us gamers i am pretty good at sticking to a project
(most of the time)and getting things finished, but you are in a completely different league. That is dedication!
Hats off to you.
Steam flunky (LAF)
This borders on insanity!! Then again, most brilliant work does ;-)
Bravo!
