It's been a while coming but a recent surge in motivation aided and abetted by the new magnifying lamp has seen a few new troops ready to hit the table.
8 velites from Miniature Wars, and from the Xyston Greek pile 16 skirmishers, 12 light cavalry, 27 heavy cavalry and a general. There are also some Xyston Spartan cavalry with hamippoi in frame, but I am not counting those. They were painted last year - it's just taken me six months to flock the bases!
Next on the list is more hoplites. After that it will likely be either Persians or the remainder of my Successor pike.
But I do have large piles of Crusaders and Saracens and Hundred Years War English and French which could make a change of direction. We shall see!
You're really slow flocking bases ;-)
ReplyDeleteVery nice painted models BTW.
Hahaha, these must be a record wait!
DeleteExcellent. I need to get back to my Greeks sometime!
ReplyDeleteThey can be a little difficult to get inspired over, which is why I keep doing the cavalry! All those pesky shields on the hoplites...
DeleteLovely stuff. I know what you mean about painting Ancients. The relative lack of uniformity compared to 18th C armies makes them slower to paint.
