| Back in 2017 I posted an Assyrian Review of my then Assyrian army. It has increased since then but the main change from then is my start on a 25mm Garrison army. The ones here are 20mm Garrison, Minifigs 'S' Range and Lamming. |
 |
| This lot are the Minifigs 'S' Range, though some chariots are a Minifigs/Lamming mix. |
 |
| These are the Garrison figures. Chariot with card bodies, heavy infantry with HaT shields. At this time I experimented with a wash over the paint - didn't work very well so that an army I like was, in my view, ruined :( |
 |
| My Lamming force is slightly smaller but nice... |
 |
| Then their are things like these chariots - tin plate chariots I got from Harry repainted and given Minifigs crews and horses and Garrison chariot wheels. Archers are 'S' Range Carthagians that I feel are a lot more at home with the Assyrians! |
 |
| And then there's my 25mm Garrison army... still growing, long way to go, only 5 painted chariots so far, but lots in the pipeline. |
Thoughts on the current project? That Minifigs force includes 24 chariots. Some of these also appear in the Lamming army which also has 3 pure Lamming chariots.. Meanwhile, the 20mm Garrison army has 13 chariots. So these combined armies have 40 chariots. It's a target...
Nice to see your 20mm Assyrians, great army. Looking forward to seeing the 25m grow to the same size!
ReplyDeleteNice army that sort of stopped... combination of the wash fiasco and suddenly getting a load of 'S' Range off Harry...
DeleteBest way to decide what’s next is to give them a game and see what you felt was lacking.
ReplyDeleteOf course there’s an ulterior motive at play here…. :o)
Whoops! That was me.
DeleteEventually...
DeleteShame you feel the Garrison army is ruined because it is pretty impressive.
ReplyDeleteIt's when you look at the figures closer up. They look, well, just dirty, like they've been dropped in dirty water and it dried on them.
DeletePity about the wash- they can make an army look like it has been stuck down with dysentery. Sounds like the poem- the gleaming purple and gold cohorts were smitten!
ReplyDeleteMight post a couple of closeups as a warning to the unwary...
