Don’t think there’s anyone here not done that at some point!  Good to know I’m not the only dimwit here then 🙈 No being is dimwit is during a painting session putting tippex* thinner into your eye instead of eyedrops!  *showing my age here |

 Oh no! Fortunately the cans for my undercoat & sealer look very different & I keep them in two different places. Even then, I've always dreaded making that mistake. I wouldn’t mind, but it isn’t exactly the first time I’ve done it "Experience is what enables you to recognise the same mistake when you make it again." |

Haardrada,
(NOT THAT I AM JEALOUS... honest... well just a tad maybe) .... but did you say "thats ALL MY book 1 armies finished" in like I am doing ten for example; or is it more "thats ALL MY book 1 armies finished" like I have I have done one for each army in the book? Either way its got to be OMG...I mean I followed the (open / public) link - and thanks for that - to your lovely I/5b Elamite etc army and it looks cool and fun .... but how many more is it?!?!
CarlL
just going off to a dark cool room to calm down at the thought of all the book I possibilities .... I think I might have completed two from the book 1 .. Syrians with chariots, and Midianites two riders to a camel (well some I couldn't get the second riders to stay on some camels) all in 25mm a long time ago... I was once bought a 15mm Trojan army as a present, (isn't that book 1?) and I get it out the box occasionally to tell it one day you will get painted ...
PS
Somehow 'book I' armies never quite appealed ... I think I put that down to trying to play with chariots in Armati, oops, sorry I swore then....
CarlL

PS Somehow 'book I' armies never quite appealed ... I think I put that down to trying to play with chariots in Armati, oops, sorry I swore then.... CarlL I hope I didn't give you a headache CarlL?😊 To clarify...I have painted all the book I armies that I own so far.These are... I/4 Guti Revolt plus I/5b Elamite or Susianian allies. I/8abc Dilmun,Makkan,Saba etc.(incl.Midianite allies for the b list). I/15 Late Amorites. I/28 Sea Peoples. I/32bc Spring & Autumn Chinese with Northern Barbarian allies for the c list. I/43b Early Hu. I must admit I wasn't a fan of book I armies but found myself in their orbit...the Early Hu were an easy morph from my Hsuing nu army(I like LH armies 😁) , the Sea Peoples are an obvious opponent for New Kingdom Egyptians,The Spring & Autumn were inspired by the tale of the sword of Gourgan and the Dilmun Makkan etc.army came about after a discussion with another gamer looking for a suitable army for a tournament....I liked the army so much I bought it too.lol I may add more armies at a later date but for now they are all painted. 😊 |

Now the flock has settled on the Gutians it's time to start my next project...IV/36ab Late Muslim Indian...
I am borrowing some elements from my painted Ghaznavids & Hindu Indians to be able to field the (a) list,but the (b) list is a stand alone army in itself.
All figures prepped and undercoated.Flags researched and selected and colour palette sort of settled on....off we go.😊

Work well underway on the first refurbishment project, with the 2xCv and 2xPs of the Polybian Romans now finished. Photos here: www.facebook.com/share/p/mB1CZkHYdAiVr5GW/?Triarii are nearly done and just the final touches on the basing required. The Italian allies are on the painting deck now… P |
