Crusaders of the Miniature Wars range from Italy:
Easy to prep and nice to paint. Spears were a little spindly, but life's too short to bother replacing them with wire (MMV, of course).
Xyston Thebans:
A bit of a mission to prep, and I had real painter's block with these. It was the shields that were the problem; I just couldn't paint a satisfactory club for love or money. In the end, I decided to mix symbols and just get them painted. A few snakes, a few goblets, a few minotaurs, some clubs that were less atrocious than others, a few plain coloured, and there they are. I'm not very happy with them but a bit of flock and a game or two and I'm sure they'll grow on me.
Excellent brushwork and productivity all around, Aaron! End of year push to make the numbers look better is a common activity, I wager. You are not alone...
ReplyDeleteYou are too kind, Jonathan - if I could get through a third of what you manage and at 80% of the quality I would be a happy man indeed!
DeleteReally liking the crusaders. I have had my brushes out for the last two nights, for the first time in ages.
ReplyDeleteGood for you, Norm!
DeleteGlad to hear, Norm. I easily forget how much it's possible to get done until I talk myself into picking up a brush for a couple of nights in a row!
DeleteWow! Great stuff. You got an amazing amount of models done and they look great. I am also pushing hard to up my totals by the end of the year.
ReplyDeleteGreat big lovely drop, Aaron. You're on a tear! Your shields are great. You can't compare scratch painting a space the size of an eraser to LBMS transfers. I'm never happy with my scratch painted shields either for the same reason. ;-) Monty
ReplyDeleteVery impressive sir!
ReplyDeleteThanks fellows! Still trying to get some Macedonians done before year end...
