My order of Blue Moon Huns (2 commands) arrived Thursday. Spent Friday cleaning and assembling upper torsos to lower bodies.
These replace the Old Glory Huns currently filling the ranks of Alani.

Rome and the Jewish Revolt
The Jewish Revolt test games have been uploaded. The Roman Tour against ten opponents is complete. Rome’s win ratio did improve using the double size command of 24 elements. To review the Roman Tour, click on the “ Index” link, and scroll down to Roman Tour 24 listing the enemies. dbagora.blogspot.com/2024/01/rome-and-jewish-revolt.html

The Huns.
The first command are done but remain on their plinths. The painting sequence was changed for the second command. These will be ready for detailing tomorrow.

The Huns. The first command are done but remain on their plinths. The painting sequence was changed for the second command. These will be ready for detailing tomorrow. The second batch of Huns (27 figures) are done. Comparing the two, the first seem dull. Still on their painting plinths, highlighting a lighter shade will fix this. Tomorrow, basing 24 elements can begin.

This afternoon I looked through the ‘bits and pieces’ box before ordering any Dark Age figures. The search proved profitable.
Blue Moon Norman knights (personality pack), 6 pieces. Old Glory Breton cavalry, 3 pieces. Thistle and Rose cavalry, 8 pieces (will pass as Scots, Welsh or Slav) Blue Moon Germanic cavalry, 1 piece to complete an element.
The 18 mounted will make 4 command elements and 2 cavalry. Cleaning and assembling weapons, shield and rider to mounts will begin tomorrow.

Currently painting Early Franks, and will serve as Merovingian with the addition of militia (Sp).
These past years, many armies have merged to create double size commands of 24 elements. The old collection of Franks becoming Goths and Vandals, hence the replacement.
The order arrived Friday and the weekend was spent preparing the 96 figures for painting. This took time as many figures had weapons in contact with their torsos. Careful cutting freed the spears, swords and axes making a lively looking group.
