Getting ready for next year

Just because the painting has stopped over Christmas doesn't mean everything has stopped...

Currently 48 infantry and 24 cavalry undercoated and ready for painting.

The horse archers are conversions, the javelin heavy cavalry will be painted as late Persians.
Apart from the Sparabara infantry, these are also conversions - the archers are simply the cavalry put on a base with the left foot twisted to point forwards. The Spara are Rose shields glued on to a spear and based...

 

Meanwhile I have continued prepping more figures - I've got loads of Greek  hoplites lying around, these ones were simply Greek medium cavalry put on a base with the left foot twisted to point forwards. Again. I'll probably start prepping some early hoplites later.

    1. Hopefully there will be more battles in 2021 than I did in 2020 - for some reason didn't do many.

  2. A horde indeed! May the year ahead be good for them and for you.

    1. Thank you. Mind you, you know me... probably half these figures won't get painted for several years as I'm distracted by something else!
