Not a lot of painting time this weekend
I did receive two armies painted by a friend over the past week or so (Abyssinians and Albanians) and completed the 1x3Ax and 1x4Ax for the Ptolemaics - I just have to paint the 4Pk(Gen) option to complete the army
Cheers

Batch 4 of the Ghaznavids are finished( bar the basing), which should mean the army is completed.However, I added a few extra elements from other armies as part of the project....a Blacksheep 3Cav element to complete a Timurid allies contingent,3 Spear elements to be able to field a Kenauj Hindu army...and now to complete this project I'm adding a Rajput allied contingent for the Ghaznavids and add some Sindi/Late Tamil type Cavalry to field later armies up to the 1500's. Batch 5.. 2xRajput 3Kn,1xMuslim 3Cav & 2x Sindi/Tamil 3Cav. This will complete all my "Indian" type armies except my Late Muslim Indians that I will paint later this year or early next year as I want to complete my Late Athenians & a Biblical army this year. You've certainly been very busy Haarada. Kudos to you. Cheers,

Cheers, I had a knee replacement operation and needed to occupy my time to distract myself from the pain from the op and while I got myself moving again.Setting myself a task of painting an army plus finishing a few other bits certainly is a welcome distraction and helps motivate your recovery.Im walking mostly without crutches now and starting to drive short distances. I highly recommend doing a painting project if possible during any recovery as it does generate motivation and is at least a distraction.🙂

I did receive two armies painted by a friend over the past week or so (Abyssinians and Albanians) Macbeth - is your friend painting armies alphabetically? If so - unless your friend is a really, really, really fast painter - I suspect it may be quite a while till he/she gets round to Zapotecs and Zulus… 😂🤣 Cheers, Geoff

Just finished 3 related armies: Gauls, Galatians and Ancient British. They share the same Cav, LCh and Psloi where applicable but the cores of the armies are different with 9 x clothed 4Aux for the Gauls, 9 x naked 3Aux for the Gaesti, 9 x clothed 3Aux for Ancient Brits and 9 x naked 4Aux for the Galatians. So it’s been quite a slog. However, Xyston Miniatures we’re a pleasure to paint and be LBMS shield decals were fiddly but as good as ever.

I have added a DBA Portuguese camp for my colonial Portuguese. They often landed and built a stockade where they hoped to establish a trade 'factory'. The Portuguese camp guard are real mix: two old 25mm Citadel monks, one Old Glory big 25mm Italian Wars halberdier and a Venexia 28mm drummer (sold by Lancashire Games). CarlL

PS The camp items came from Italeri Fort (French Foreign Legion / Arab) set which is sold as 20mm /25mm but the tents are more like 15mm in height. CarlL
