Started painting up some Kushite skirmishers after not painting anything in nearly a month!
After painting almost every single day for the past five years, this has been quite the time off and thought starting with two figures with barely anything, seemed like a good way to get back into it.

28mm Vikings, III/40b, using mainly Gripping Beast plastic figures, but with metal figures for the General's element.
One down and 49 to go. (I'm not planning to bother with the 3Wb and 3Ax options.)

I was somehow distracted over the second long break we had here in Oz and only managed to get to the painting table on Monday afternoon
I made some progress and finished
1xSp for the Tibetans
1x3Bw and 1xPs for the Elamites and
1x4Pk and 1x3Ax for the Guti Great Revolt
Cheers

Progress on my I/2 OKE 1 stand each of 4bw and 3bd - menfat finished before a week off in Scotland where no painting is allowed so the wife tells me!.
- I’d forgotten how nice chariot (magiter militium) figures were to paint.
Cheers and enjoy the long weekend - at least in England anyway

A big day at the table today
Earlier in the week I began the process of soaking some old figures off their bases to begin the process of scrap building two armies with as much as possible coming from existing boneyarded figures - so today I stuck the following to new bases and thus kicked off the scrap build
II/5b Athenian
2xSp, 3xPs, 1x3Bw, 1xCv, 1xLH
III/42b Sha-To Turkish
1xCv(gen), 1xLH, 1x3Bd, 1x4Cb, 1x3w, 2xSp, 2x3Pk, 3xPs
Then with that done I sat down to paint my current projects and finished off
1xLCm, 1x4Bd, 1x4Bw for the Christian Nubian - the army is now Battle Ready - I can field my preferred 12 element army. Assuming I don't get distracted, this means once these three elements are based I can field the Christian Nubian at Collision Course if there is an odd number of entries.
1x4Pk and 2xPs for the Antigonids
1xCP for the Post Mongol Samurai - this strip has been underway for a ridiculous amount of time and since I started it I have started and completed many other (easier) strips.
Cheers

Finished the two horde elements for the 'early' Scots Common army. But most of the last three weeks has been putting gloop on bases.

Today I had mostly new strips to paint so did a mass production stint of Wood/Metal/Flesh on those.
I did finish off the El for my Antigonids
Cheers

Over the weekend I finished off
1xCv(Gen) for the Christian Nubian - that is one more army complete
1xCv and 2x4Pk for the Antigonids - this army is now only two elements from completion.
Cheers

Finally finished my IV/85a Burgundian Ordonnance army. (15mm Mikes Models.) Seems I've been working on this for months now; those flags and such are really slow going. Got the flocking done yesterday. Here are a few pics. (More up on the FB group.) The "spring wildflowers" were something I saw on a player's army at Recon 2022 last month in Florida. I went right over to the vendors tables to get some. .jpg) Below are the 8Lb elements (well, "11Lb", since I'm a disciple of Eric Donaldson's Basing Heresies), flanked by the Artillery. .jpg) Below are the Mounted Infantry. (I gotta figure out how to use them; they're such a rarity in DBA.) .jpg) Lastly, the whole army arrayed, although I didn't build / paint every possible option. .jpg) |

Finally finished painting my I/2a Old Kingdom Egyptians that’s:
LitG/4bdG - split stand so can be deployed as either.
4x4Bw
2x3Bd
2x7Hd
3xPs
All chariot miniatures that have been on the lead pile for over 10 years
Now just the basing - time for the sand dance. If I can work out how to post a pic I will when done.
Classical Indians next on the bench.
