Well, a fair bit of progress on the Sarmatians, Alans and Scythians has been made over the last couple of evenings.
Sarmatians: trousers and cloaks or sleeves painted
Alans: horses shading washes applied
Scythians: horses shading washes applied, armour dry-brushed with Oily Steel 865
If I knuckle down over the weekend, I should be able to finish the Sarmatian lancers and possibly the Alans to the pre-basing stage.

Going Danish - I've planned my Danish 30YW army and placed an order for figures with Donnington. If all goes well, I'll be able to collect them at Salute.
Foot: enough musketeers, pikemen, standard bears and musicians for six 6-base units
Horse: enough horse and standard bearers for 3 cuirassier and 3 arquebusier/reiter 4-base units
Dragoons: enough mounted and dismounted dragoons, plus riderless horses for 6 bases of dragoons
Artillery: 4 field guns and 16 crew figures
Command groups: 4 generals, 4 standard bearers, 2 drummers and 2 trumpeters (all mounted) for 4 command stands
Baggage camp bits: assorted wagons, goods, camp fires and bits
That is one impressive amount of cavalry. I get depressed and grumpy when painting 1 horse but your EDF is doing the business!
ReplyDeleteKeep going, your nearly there!!
ReplyDeleteWhat a horde, keep it going Tamsin!
ReplyDeleteAmazing output you have, looking forward to the Danes. I must make a start at rebasing and re-designing my ECW. Still a bit put off with the amount of figures that will be left out from the new regiment sizes.
