Assyrian army

Saturday 26 January 2019

Early Spartans finished

So that's 2 out of the 3 new units completed.

I admit I cringe when I look at the pictures in close up - my painting is definitely on a downward trajectory!



Next, the Athenian unit.

    1. Perhaps, people do tend to see faults in their work that others miss or don't consider important - plus I am aware of not being able to do the things I used to find easy in terms of detail,etc. Sometimes I just can't focus at all on a figure I'm painting - it blurs out and I have to stop!

  2. They look good to me! When based, it is the the mass effect that is important not an individual figure.

    1. That is the most important point - en masse they look fantastic - it's the thing I get most enjoyment from, putting them all together on the table. Back in the 70s my Persian army had a bit over 60 cavalry. My Seleucids used to use 3 x 16 strong phalanx units. These were great when I was fighting battles but not so good on spectacle. Totay, not worried about fighting battles, but the spectacle!

  3. Nothing to do with this post but... I just saw the amphibious experiment photo at the link below and wondered if this is where your tank wreck on the beach may have come from...?

    1. Don't know, but it was a training area so there or Muckleborough, just along the coast, are possibilities.
