More flowers have been glued. 



And yet more



Those are a mixture of Copplstone Somalis and Perry plastics.

That seems to be about the extent of the painted...
Oh, what's that here?


Some painted Ethiopians hanging out on some randomly piled up terrain from when I was showing some minis to some of my nephews' friends?  Forgot about those.  They actually took a surprising liking to my stuff so I had them paint up some skellies and then use some washes to make their own.  They had a good time.

And apparently also forgot about this tray of unpainted Ethiopians.  I'm beginning to worry that I might have a problem.   

In all seriousness, I need to count up what various armaments I have already based and painted and compare that to what I might want for Bolt Action, Lion Rampant, Pikeman's Lament, TMWWBK, etc.  Then I can see what's extra and can be used for Kings of War.


As a side note:  In, my admittedly limited experience you can't have this number of Ethiopians without expecting to see some goats so I'm also working some objective markers.

Some tasty objective markers.   Well, not sure how tasty donkey is.



And some cavalry.  These are Perry Sudanese and some Copplestone Somalis.

I let myself get distracted and did a few tests on some Wargames Factory plastics.



On the left are two primered minis with brown washes applied (my own and Agrax).  The middle mini started out with a dark green wash and then I since it looked best to my eye, I a quick paint job on him.  Maybe he ended up a bit too green?  On the right are two minis with just the green primer.

Some Guard Cavalry.  I need to do the metal on their weapons and the spears have already been replaced with wire spears.



Got most of the basecoating done on these 19th century askari



Way too many white uniforms and the wash didn't look too good after it dried.

Bought the Reaper Olive triad and did a further experiment for the Kagnew guys.  Also experimented with using flock to give a bald sudanese head a bit of a fro.  I mean, if the NCOs wear their helmets there is no chance of them being where you need them.



On the left is the new experiment using the triad and the right was the previous one done with the wash.

Really nice work on all of the above !

Superb work, as always.  8)
I don't know how you keep up this rate of production. I managed 8 28mm figures this week, and thought I was doing OK!  :(

Got halfway through a 28mm unit. Became fed up with it; put it away and got on with 10mm SYW.
