Haardrada, Thats putting the boot into poor Baldie. Mind menacussecundas is adding a few kicks too. Perhaps could rename Haardrada as "Picta barbarus cum tot exercitibus" And Menacussecundas as "septem legiones pictor" Not that Latin is something I know much about, having done schoolboy french and German before discovering Tacitus, Livy, Gaius Julius the self publicist etc.. CarlL alias "Angulus cum multis inch altum stagni hominum" et adfixisti eam š

> Anyways - what projects is everybody trying to finish before Christmas and/or planning for next year? Trying to finish a refurb on a badly battered box of Donningtons. This should make Palmyran and/or Arabo-Aramaean and/or Dacians. The boxful was a ādoer-upperā from the start, and is now well on the way, but NY is rushing upā¦ Next yearās plans yet to be formalised, but Iāll probably do another Ovelist, to maintain some focus.

After some Xmas shopping on Sunday I rounded out my painting with
1x4Pk for the Asiatic Early Successor (II/16e - Pethion, Pecutas or other minor Successors) - making the army lega (ie I can field a legal 12 element army) 1x4Pk and 1x3Ax for the Macedonian Early Successor (Polyperchon)
Cheers

I'm in the midst of a "odds and sods" painting frame of mind, either bringing armies up to 3.0 compatibility, or painting additional elements for morphing purposes. Today I completed the 1x3Bw required to enhance the armies of Early Muslim North Africa and Sicily. Next up are the elements for the Khwarizmian, which will be using my Seljuk Turks as the basis for the morph. I've also got enough camels to do a number of Cm and LCm elements.
Cheers,

Iād love to know how to get into that mindset! Iāve got quite a backlog of figures that will permit morphs, expand to āall optionsā or add HOTT elements to armies. But whenever it comes to painting them or a new army it is always the new army that wins out! ā¦..and donāt ask about how many camps I need to make!

Hi Paddy, As I had just completed my Medes, I just decided that I needed to do the odds and sods prior to starting on the next major project. I find that doing these minor projects like morphs, updating armies, and camps refreshes the mind. Cheers,

They have been cleaned up and mounted on painting nails. Tomorrow I hope to prime them. Cheers,

I'll try and clean them up today, glue them to the painting nails and apply primer. Cheers,

Iāve just finished upgrading my Warring States Chāin army to a Warring States all sub-lists army by painting the extra Crossbow, Blade and 3Pk I needed. Not quite an āall optionsā army yet as Iād need more 5Hd and 7Hd for that. However, no space in my Chinese box which is full on Tang and Sui also. All my Warring States are Essex miniatures which are OK, cover all the bases, but slightly dull. But they are solid and quick to paint - so canāt complain.
Next up, and for the rest of the month, is odds and sods. Yes Iāve been shamed into painting up my fill-ins for multiple armies. First up will be Kyreneans and Phoenicians before some Armenians. No full new armies will hit my painting table until the new year! Promise!

>> First up will be Kyreneans and Phoenicians before some Armenians. What figures are you using for the Phoenicians, Paddy? It is all Magister Militum (Chariot) which I bought just before they closed down. Basically I have 4 boxes full of Chariot minis covering Indians, Alex, all Greeks, all Successors (and Greaco-whateverās) etc. So these were the specific add-ins I need to expand those figures to cover a number of other, earlier army lists. So the Phoenicians fill-ins are just their early Carthaginians. I didnāt want to mix them with my other Carthaginians as all my Punic War figures are Xyston.
