I plan to find out tomorrow how tricky it may be to paint an owl or a gorgon on the face of an aspis or hoplon in 10mm.

It's not so much the painting that's tricky, but the having it recognisable at the end...  X_X

Jolly good luck!  How many are you going to attempt?!  :-/

I think about a dozen. The rest of the regiment will have a capital alpha, which it is a much easier task to paint, or geometric radials in sundry colours, looking rather Viking (but the Greeks were using them before Odin had lost his other eye).

Tlaxcanas bases base coated and inked.
Four units of base coated all over and inked.
Ashugari highlighted.

How on earth do you do a decent job on a Landschernecks at 10mm?

Done. I'll get some photographs posted soon. The gorgons came out better than I feared. The next question is how they'll fare against the Persians; each army is so weak in what the enemy is strong in, it'll be like playing bridge with chessmen.

Last of the paint going on the Prussian army tonight. Tomorrow I will sort out and base up the Hanoverians.

Tlaxcalans, bases painted, inked highlighted and flocked. Varnished and magnetised. Photos taken: will post later.
Next batch sorted for painting.
Had a breakthrough with the Ashugari last night and came up with a coherent scheme for them.
Not sure I'll get much more done for the painting comp.

Could be a title for a novel somewhere in that.

Now have a wait to see whether Pendraken's Mexicans or Newlines' ancient Chinese come out first. A handful of reinforcements to renaissance armies to be painted, but it's only a few. :(

Painting mojo lacking at present but managed to start on some Italian houses from Leven Miniatures.

Flesh and washes, brown and leather, wash on those tomorrow.

Their churches are good, aren't they? :)
