Thanks for all the encouragement guys.

I think the Askari and Penne di Falco are getting close to done.



And the missing horses even have some paint on them.



Also, I'm getting the basing on the Korean War guys started.

The photo confused me for a minute - wondering what the riders were mounted on......All been nice stuff.

Painted some horses.  Still have to do their faces and the metal bits of tackle on them.



Also did  some Kagnew uniforms using Reaper's olive triad after getting the bases done to the point that they need flock and grass.

Thanks guys. 

Even with the inspiration of the Kentucky Derby, I somehow managed to avoid finishing off the Penne di Falcos and worked on the Kagnews instead.

Decided against going insane and instead decided to break up to 30 minis into manageable groups to finish them off.  Here with the webbing painted and a wash applied to it and the uniforms



With some non-green paint applied these guys are starting to look better, IMO.



After a few washes, I'll have to move on to dealing with hemets.  Helmets that still have mold lines...

I think these are done except for the helmet straps.

Matt spray didn't end up working great on these guys.  Tried both W&N and Dull Cote



But I got some reinforcements from BTD.





The guys without helmets have hair that will work for the Kagnews.

Someone requested a demo game of Bolt Action so I decided to bring a bunch of my terrain to the FLGS and we had a 1935 Ethiopian vs. Kagnew Battle. 

Amazingly I remembered to take some pre game pics but unsurprisingly I forgot to take any after that.
