Patience is a virtue, but I lost my virtue looooong ago!

Final dry brushes done on the remaining Byzantines
They have now been sorted 'onto' their bases making room for the remainder of the first batch of the Armenians; Bow and Spear

The remainder of the first batch of the Armenians have been undercoated

The first of the first batch of the Armenians; Mounted and Franks have had their horses base coated and dry brushed
Manes and tails next

Manes, tails, hooves & markings done on the Armenian horses

Base coated armour and helmets on Armenians

More touch ups on the Byzantine bases

More base colours and some dry brushing on the Armenians

Cut out the bases for the Armenians, even though they won't be needed for a while

Beginning to suspicion that you are an engineer - or a Puritain minister! 
At any rate vastly admire your work ethic.

Most of the base colours now done on the Armenians

There was a break in the showers and cloud

It was long enough to varnish the Byzantines

And to take some pictures once the varnish was dry

I better post process them and get them posted

When's Manzikert due?

[fred.]

Nice looking troops, like they way you have kept to a limited palette, does make them look part of a whole.

I'd always like to see more troops in a unit though!

[Norm]

Very nice.
