OK you voted for them so here they are the Vikings Saxons and Normans from my 'You Choose' tiopic earlier in the year.

First up the Anglo-saxons (purely because there are so many of the little feckers!) I aim to have all three armies debut on the gaming table by February. I did cheat a bit with this timesacle as the minis arrived a month ago and are already based. I'm also taking advantage of some beautiful late autumn weather here in Sunny Suffolk to get them underoated ahead of winter.

Hopefully (third time lucky... ) with pics.

Had that done some years ago

Thought that was obvious

 

16 huscarls painted over the weekend but I'm going to fall pianfully short of my Feb target - still at least I'm back painting

Thats the core of the Anglo-danish done less two command stands. Aim to start on a similar core of Normans soon which might mean that I can get a smallish game in durimng February.

Good man - I've not painted anything at all in January...I must be ill 

Is it really that long since I picked up a paintbrush..... 17th January!!!! Now the cricket seasons here it could be some time before I get anything else done

I think the single best piece of advice I can give in order to increase anyone's painting output is this:

STAY OFF THE INTERNET

Too true .

Right-ho! Having another bash at getting these out before I find have had them for a year...

Review of whats done and whats to come...

DONE:
16x stands of Huscarl, 32x stands of Select Fyrd.

STARTED TODAY:
16x stands of Lesser Fyrd

TO DO:
3x stands of Command, 4x stands of Cavalry, 16x stands of Select Fyrd, 18x stands of Skirmishers.

TARGET DATE: 24th July, which will leave me two weeks before I go on holiday to make a start on the Norman Milites to pit them against

Dangerous time of the year for me this. Junior Cricket coming to a close and family holiday approaching (see seperate thread). I usually find that after the summer it gets harder and harder to find time to paint

16 stands of lesser fyrd started today, finished today
