I've had in my stash for some significant time enough figues for multiple EAP armies. However, I wanted to bring something different to the battlefield and after some consideration decided on one the the precursors of the EAPs. Hence the Medes. So far I've painted up the figures for 1xPs and 1x3Ax. Next up are the figures for the 3x3Bw.
Cheers,

Well done Gregorius.
Over on the SoA Forum some months back, we briefly discussed the first WRG army book on the Greek and Persian Wars, and how the front cover image of a Mede had an impact on painting of all armies Mede and Achaemenid at that time, with dots for flower on robes!! Still something I add on occasion albeit to 25mm figures!!

Used some ‘spare’ Persians to make a Mede army for a prize earlier in the year - quite a balanced force: cavalry, spearmen and archers ✔️ |

Well the 3x3Bw were put on the back burner and instead I painted up the figures for the LH element. I promise, the 3x3Bw are up next 🤞.

Today I completed the figures for the 3x3Bw elements. I've glued them to their bases and applied the goop, aka Liquitex Resin Sand. Next up are the figures for the 4xSp. I intend to do the 16 figures in 2 installments.

Today I completed the figures for 2 of the 4 Sp elements. I've glued them to their bases and applied the goop, aka Liquitex Resin Sand. Next up are the figures for the remaining 2xSp.

Yesterday I completed the last of the Sp elements. I'm pleased with the way they turned out. I'll probably use a similar colour palette for the 4x3Cv elements, which I hope to commence next week.
Cheers,

Today I painted up the horses for the 4x3Cv elements. If I have time tomorrow I'll start on the riders.

Today I completed the the last elements of the army, 4x3Cv, which includes the General's base. Tomorrow, all things being equal, I should be able to apply colour, flocking and tufts to the 14 gooped bases. Once that process is completed I'll post images on the 2 FB DBA pages.
Cheers,
