They know not their sins...

Newline Sea Peoples
I hated the shields, and hated them when I repainted them, and hated them when I did them again!
Otherwise, I think they look alright... Maybe...

Oxcarts and crews






Shortly after this I started repainting shields...

Archers




Happier with these shields!




Sort of...

Maybe it would have been wiser to wait and post this when the Dark Lord is in Portugal?

I see Sea People. But they can't be, they lived in the desert, right?

Least they're painted. If I'd got fed up with them, they'd still be needing finishing and conveniently forgotten in a corner.

They were a loose confederation of peoples who used to raid and settle the coastal regions of the eastern Mediterranean, around 1200 BC. They did not live in the desert.

The world still has traces of their presence; Sardinia takes its name from the Sherden sub-group, and Palestine from the Peleset (Philistines).

And nothing short of a re-Creation of the world will put an end to the notion that their baggage train was a sort of proto-Wagenburg or a type of chariot arm,, rather than a normal set of waggons which the Egyptians had to fight to take, like most victorious armies.

Thanks Orcs.

Apologies, I was in a 'humorous' mood last night, so went with the variation of the 6th Sense/Titanic joke - hence, 'Icy Sea People'

I'll get me own coat  X_X

"C" peoples once were the average students in academic classes here in the States. Now with rampant grade inflation I believe they are "B+" peoples.

Roy

So if the C Peoples are now the B+ Peoples, does that mean they lived in the BCE or BC?

Oh, the racing of the pulse at that signal! "Partner, I've got 19+ points and we're looking for a slam here." Subtext: "Pass, and I'll shoot you."

Followed by your partner looking startled, then at hand, then back at you, turning pale and issuing a "Three No" close out.

I'll have to refer that part of the convo to my mother, it's how I imagine poor beknighted non-gamers feel when we talk about games :D
