Amazon army update

 Figures for new mould have arrived with Pete Brown. Meanwhile I've done everything I intend to on the army until it comes back - unless... MOULD UPDATE! -Pete has also posted it today! (23/10)

It wasn't intended to be this big, but it's still too small for a 'proper' Review.

The figures have been displayed in single ranks rather than my usual double ranks. Makes the army look bigger.

Cavalry are very much prototypes... the horse archer is hopefully going to be supplemented by actual conversions and the spear/shield cavalry tidied up a bit. I expect to do a couple more squadrons of spear/shield cavalry and at least one other horse archer squadron.

General reviewing the troops as she passes behind Pegasus. Although there was only one Pegasus in 'real' mythology I'll probably do a herd.

Another lot I'll probably extend. It could be quite spectacular. 

One thing I thought of but didn't do was use the Enchantress riding a tiger as a cavalry officer. Might consider that in future.

    1. I agree, setting them all up together adds a lot to it - probably my favourite part.

    1. Any time you like once you can make an informed choice as to what you want... you will have a choice (hopefully) of 4 new spear people to choose from and 2 new cavalry figures...

  6. Great looking army! How do you get such bright orange? Lots and lots of coats? I can't find a good orange paint...

    1. Matt white undercoat, single coat of Vallejo Model Colour Deep Orange 851, then sprayed with a clear/gloss varnish. One element I accidentally painted using Light Orange 911 - personally, I like both so I didn't redo it!
