I managed to varnish the first batch of Armenians after work yesterday :)

But ran out of light before they were dry so I will hopefully get a chance for some pictures if the rain clears this afternoon as forecast :-w

I need to crack on with the second batch, more colours on the mounted then onto details :!!

I've finished all the colours on the second batch of Armenians and started detailing with the spear shafts :) :)

Now onto adding more details :!!

I went to take pictures of the first batch of Armenians and realised that my blue base cloth is at our regular gaming host's place on standby if an extra part of the North Atlantic is required #-o
