Southern Dynasty Mounted elements all undercoated, 2x4Kn,2x3Kn and 1x2LH to do.Once these are done it's the war wagons to complete the army and a Stone thrower to give a Three Kingdoms morph option.

After a foray into restoring my 1970s Napoleonics (20/25mm) and another foray into gaming the Rattenkrieg of September / October 1942 (20mm) I got out my files and knife and deflashed some old style 25mm Sassanids I had bought (mainly Irregular riders and Minifigs horses!) together with some painted old 25mm Garrison I had acquired, to start work on the 30 Clibinarii figures this gave me.
I decided to stick riders to horse first (unlike with my recent ish 25mm / 28mm Parthian Giant DBA army when I painted them separately). After a few days work on priming (I decided to use mix of black and grey primer on each figure! an experiment! black to go under armour, grey for all else) I was able to dry brush the scale or mail armour today and also use metallics on helmets, weapons and shield bosses, etc.
Its an eclectic horde which will give me 10 Cv towards my Giant DBA Sassanid army that has progressed in fits and starts. One of the recently painted 25mm elephants made it into the double page colour spread of the most recent Slingshot (Society of Ancients Journal) to my surprise and delight. It was one I had had so long its no longer in production!! Hey ho onwards to completion.
Photo to follow when (hopefully) something worth seeing! CarlL

Now onto the final part of the big 6mm rebasing project- the Early Germans being the last piece in the puzzle. Once theyโre done, the build-up for the 20th anniversary of the Northern Cup can begin in earnest ๐

Southern Dynasty Chinese Knights and LH completed, plus the extra 2 elements of LH I added....these were an addition so that the Former Ch'in and Muring Hsein-pi can field allies contingents in their own right and not borrow from my Hsuing nu army.It also enables me to field a II/80d other Hun army.
Now it's on to the final stage...the War Wagons,Artillery and Wb (additional elements for this army and to field a Three Kingdoms/Western Tsin army).
When done I will have four Sixteen Kingdoms armies complete.

Oh to have all 16....that would be an interesting campaign.๐ I have two more in mount un-paint The Northern Chinese Dynasty and Other Hsein-pi armies...but I'm not sure when I'll get round to them as I'm out to paint other armies which I have outstanding....I think my Lombards will be next.๐ค
