DBA First Crusade project

[paulr]

Thanks Lemmy, the test games help keep me motivated

Armenians washed

Base coated Crusader Spearmen

Drybrushed those who will remain in undyed 'linen'

Started base colours for those who could afford dyed cloth

[paulr]

Final dry brushes on the Armenians
First coat on Armenian figure bases done

Colours finished on the Crusader spearmen
Started details

[paulr]

Second batch of Armenians finished
They will be ready to base once the final coat on figure bases is dry, but will have to wait till tomorrow due to other commitments, including an AWI game

Belts, boots, wood and iron done on the Crusader spearmen
Sword handles, hair, 'bronze' and skin left to do

I better start preparing the rest of the 'first' Crusader batch

[paulr]

Second batch of Armenians still waiting to be based

Crusader spearmen 'painted', touch ups, wash and final dry brushes to do

The rest of the first Crusader batch was undercoated yesterday and I did the base colour of the horses this morning

Have you done a goose general yet?

[paulr]

Does Pendraken do a goose

[Techno]

I'm sure I did one in the 'farmyard set'.
(But it always takes me ages to find the piccy of the greens.)

Cheers - Phil

Looks like I did.

I can't see anything wrong with those Phil. How come they've never been produced? I'm a great fan of "tabletop sprinkles." We once put on a game at Phalanx, 28mm set in the Indian Mutiny, and to keep kids interested we gave them a quiz sheet to spot elephants, a tiger, monkeys, dogs etc.

is it in the website? which reference and under what branch are they? modern? ancient? interwar?

[paulr]

I would love a goose, if they have been produced, would include it on one of the pilgrim horde elements

[Leman]

We'd all love a goose, mate!
