Baccus 6mm

Baccus 6mm

Baccus specializes in 6mm figures.  They offer an extensive range that covers some periods that are under represented while some ranges offer limited forces.  The man running the show at Baccus appears to be Peter Berry, an outspoken proponent of the smaller scale.  He has written rules sets to match.  The charming website offers a wealth of photos, how-to instruction, and painting guides in addition to the usual catalog.

Like so many miniatures companies, this one is based in England and seldom seems to travel beyond its borders.  However, Scale Creep does carry their figures in the US though it appears they may be discontinuing sales of Baccus as they have few in stock all at sale prices.

The figures come based several per block and can be purchased in bags devoted to a troop type or in army sets containing multiple bags.  The figures offer reasonable detail for such a small scale and will likely bring out the painter in anyone whose eyesight is still reasonably good.  As is the case all 6mm, the figures do best in large masses, something difficult to near impossible to achieve with larger scales.
