A productive (extended) weekend at the painting table 1xCv for the Macedonian Early Successor (Polyperchon) 1x7Hd and 1xPs for the Palaialogan Byzantine 1xSp for the Communal Italian - thus completing the army just a week short of 12 months since I started the army and a month beyond the end of the campaign I'd hoped to use them in I also put the first dabs on paint onto a Sea Peoples army Cheers

Sorry, some poor images, apologies, from start to finish of my final batch of "late medieval" Hindu cavalry. Its a real mix of 25mm! All bar one rider are QT (now WDW) riders, (Rajput armoured and generic unarmoured Hindus, latter with wire spears and mix of shields from many sources - in my spares box mostly); with soft plastic HaT horses for medium or light cavalry and 'barded' (mainly cataphract horses) from Hinchliffe (which Lancashire games now sell or ebay job lot) and Minifigs (from job lot on ebay). Based with DBx and TtS in mind. CarlL

I had plans for some bright multi coloured quilting on these Hindu Generals (or Muslim Delhi) elephants when they came from Irregular Miniatures 28mm Delhi Sultanate range via ‘father Christmas’ but they turned out differently!! More subdued but perhaps better displaying the work of the designer and his ‘quilting’ ?!!? Definitely my final pieces added to my Portuguese in India late medieval colonial ‘daring do’. (More rampaging and terrorising I believe, like the Vikings, in reality, however.) There are now enough 25/28mm Hindu Indians for two armies: allies of both Portuguese and Arab / Muslim traders in their conflicts near Cochin. Next up, my ‘Hollywood’ Gladiators! CarlL

On Thursday I finished off another element of Cv for the Palaialogan Byzantines and then yesterday did a signficant amount of basing for the figures completed last week.
I was close to finishing more elements for my Successor project so am off to the painting desk soonish
Cheers

Now with the basing of the Spring & Autumn Chinese out of the way its time for a new project....especially since I am recovering from a knee operation I need something to occupy my time.
On looking through my DBA armies collected so far I was surprised that I was a bit light on book I & IV armies in comparison to the book II & III armies and there isn't an easy explanation why. Santa must of got wind of it as low and behold a Medieval German and Biblical Guti showed up for me on Christmas day(thanks Santa.🎅🏻).I hadn't been too keen on doing a German army,especially that I am a Great fan of the Swiss...so every time I thought of the Germans it came with a Boo & a Hiss.But after a few discussions with Paddy Green and a little reading into the background of 12th Century Germany,the Wendish Crusade and Frederick Barbarossa I was hooked...plus the figures I could choose from allow the army to look virtually Norman(another favourite of mine) with the choice of Danish or Early Polish allies....quite a diverse and interesting army....to cap it all one of the German Dukes turned out to be Richard the Lionheart's brother in law!
So today I've cleaned,removed flash and undercoated the first batch 5x3Kn(including General). Colour palette has been selected plus banners & flags have already been printed ready.😁
