A Tale of Four Gamers - the Sequel

[FierceKitty]

New Vikings ready for action, and a considerable number of new Dacians nearly there.

6mm Saxons finished (phew) only 368 figures in 3 days.           
Bit of work done on 28mm and 10mm bits on the way. Quite a sizable 10mm project started & assembled for the painting competition and to keep me occupied for a long time after, I had to order 'extra paints' for this one...

Saxons?



Or Saxons?


Or Saxons?

[paulr]

A very good question, that man

Although 368 of the third choice seems a little excessive

[Duke Speedy of Leighton]

Option 2-4 years! 1806 Saxons

Four Cromwells finished tonight.

[FierceKitty]

Dacians are painted. I'm now upgrading my Iberians, Numidians, and Thracians.

[Duke Speedy of Leighton]

Quite a lot of bases sanded and pva'd.
Some on finished figures, some on base coated and inked, some undercoated, some on other things...

[FierceKitty]

Iberian and Thracian upgrades done, Numidians under the brush.

[Duke Speedy of Leighton]

Basing painted and highlighted.
Some tracks basecoated and inked
Other vehicles fettled.
Flesh tones started.
Doesn't sound much for 3 hours painting...

[Duke Speedy of Leighton]

Serious amount of basing and rebasing happening today.
Oh and a battalion of airborne 6mm assembled, sandedand pva'd base coated and inked.

Improvements to Numidian LC nearly done. The new Lancashire Games figures add some welcome variety of pose to what was, after all, an irregular army, but they present two problems. One is that their horses are rather too massive (the real things were ponies), so I've had to compensate by raising the bases on my existing Pendraken figures by about 1.5 mm; en masse they should look acceptable. The other is that (like Tin Soldier 15 mm as I remember them), they have ridiculous arms and could scratch their knees while standing to attention; useful to a soldier, I'm sure, but most inaccurate, though I admit I've only chatted to one Numidian in my life. I'm also replacing half my infantry javelinmen and archers, adding more poses to the former, and a few slingers to the latter. The figures here are marginally bigger that Pendraken, but acceptable.

Superb owl watched while the paras were finished.
Just flock, clumps and tufts to do.

[Duke Speedy of Leighton]

Just tufts and labels to do.

[Duke Speedy of Leighton]
