There are 18 Norman knights on the work bench awaiting the final touches to their shields, wavy crosses in different colour. After their completion, these will be put aside to make way for the next batch painting task; the Norman dismounted Knights (6 elements). The latter should be completed in quick tempo as the same painting colour scheme will be used.

Just finished painting the last of the figures for the heavy chariot General for the Zagros Higlanders. Just have to pop the guys onto the chariot.
I was thinking of painting a Saitic Egyptian army next, but I want to run a themed event at CanGames next May and for it will need a Kushite Egyptian army done up.
Either way, after my last three armies that I painted are from the North East part of the Assyrian empire, it is going to be a drastic change to be working on the Kushites, which I am really looking forward to!

I've just finished the first 3 elements of the Tudor army for the Flodden scenario I'll be running at next year's MOAB. The elements in question are the Kn(G), Cv and Ps.
Cheers,

Added some 'bling' (ornamentation on quivers and bowcases and brassed the reinforces on the helmets) to some already painted Minifig Khazar Heavy Horse Archers that were in the armies I got from Mike Sanderson and glued them to bases as 4 elements of CV to start my Khazar army.
There are enough Minifig Asiatic heavies from that lot for a KN general and 2 other KN. Horses are caparisoned though and may repaint that to represent barding.
Then a mix of some steppe horse archers for the LH and some Slav and other foot for the HD.

Cheers, Today I've cleaned up and undercoated 16 archers for the 4 elements worth of solid Lb for my Tudor army. Hopefully over the weekend I'll be able to paint the figures and base them. Cheers,

Heavy Metal, Just finished 18 Norman knights and 24 dismounted Norman knights. With a short break, I will continue cleaning and preparing the Bretons and spearmen.

Two elements of Gothic KN painted and glued to bases. Mixed Donnington heavies and mediums - 4 of each so went with 2 heavies and a medium per element. Now to find another figure to mix with the remaining...

Feeling elated after cleaning, 27 Norman/Breton knights and cavalry. These will be given an undercoating later tonight so I can begin painting tomorrow. Also received notice of another delivery; this will complete the Norman/French commands, each of 17 elements including all options. With the current Brexit extension to the end of January 2020, I have time for one more order.

Tomorrow I'll glue them to their bases. That leaves 1xArt and 4x4Bd to do. I don't expect to get them done before Xmas, but never say never. Cheers,

Nine Breton cavalry are completed today, adding 3 elements to the Norman/West Frankish collection. Tomorrow, I will make a start on the remaining 18 knights of this previous order.
The latest order should arrive this week adding the archers, auxilia and psiloi to the collection.

Two elements of the old Essex NA-10 Norman/Breton LH painted and glued to bases. Should work for Communals or Feudal Spanish as well.
Also two elements of Irregular HR-37 (perhaps another code as well, all on mail barded horses, just differing helms) Spanish KN. Will do for the b or c lists. Or can go on a Later Crusade while waiting to join an army for the Reconqusta.
Ended up with 8 painted Naismith Bidets from my army purchase from Mike Sanderson. Will do a bit of modification on the painting (probably jazz up the shields) and then decide whether to base them as 4xPS or as 2x3AX and a PS. I have 5 TTG Bidet PS already and the 3AX would fit with the Feudal Spanish.
