Superb work as always and admire your ability to keep focussed on one project.

Final batch of this project, Armenians and Berber foot, based and flocking touched up :)
Edges to tidy up and then varnish :!!

One more dry brush on the river sections done, all terrain now ready :)

Added rocks and scrub to those markers and varnished all the markers :)

I feel your pain, tomorrow is my last day off, and then it's back to reality  :'(

With this project winding up I'm looking at my next projects

I will work on my some more of the Tumbling Dice 1/4800 Napoleonic ships in my lead pile http://www.pendrakenforum.co.uk/index.php/topic,11957.msg166264.html#msg166264

When Pierre the Shy's latest 1914 reinforcements arrive I'll move onto those

My other project is the Italo-Turkish & First Balkan Naval Wars http://www.pendrakenforum.co.uk/index.php/topic,15393.0.html
This is still at the research stage but I have sorted all but about 8 of the 130 ships I'm thinking about ordering

The Sudan or ECW are still the likely candidates for my next 10mm projects but we need to test some rule sets :-\

Final batch of this project, Armenians and Berber foot, edges tidied up :)

Now I just need some varnishing weather :-w

Looking at the forecast that might be tomorrow evening, after work, or Saturday morning, the day of the game :-SS

Looking good (the photos on the last page!!)

I do like how you are presenting these figures - especially with their impressive moustaches!

I have some of the figures you have used in my fantasy arab army, so its good to see them painted for their intended armies.

The weather cooperated after work yesterday so I got the final batch of this project, Armenians and Berber foot, varnished  :)

I also got the rulers I made varnished as well. All measurements are in base widths, 40mm, so a lot easier to have a custom ruler. They also have combat factors and a few other commonly used bIts on them

I ran out of daylight so pictures will have to wait until after the first multi-player game with them tonight

Measuring in base widths instead of inches sounds a bloody good idea. The awful kludge of metric basewidth for somethings combined with inches for others was a poor choice :D

Weather still not really cooperating so no pictures yet :(

Last night's game seemed to be fairly well received :)
We're giving another go next week :D

I'll put together a brief AAR in due course

I finally got round to post processing the pictures for last Saturday's game

Unfortunately some idiot didn't get the camera settings right and all have suffered from camera shake :-[ ~X(

Fortunately we have another game tomorrow night so I will be more careful this time
