Finished up a friends Thessalian Cavalry for his Macedonian Saga Army. Working on the Elephant now. That will leave me one unit left to do, but that one will wait on the list while I move onto another project for another person. Rotating projects helps keep it fresh for me, plus I rotate something in for me in between those.
Well because of the simple paint job I was able to knock out 12 Libyan Javelinmen for my Carthaginian army for Saga in a couple of days. Per the Victrix site that sells these they supposedly wore red tunics, and were heavily tattooed. I didn't go nuts with tattoo stuff, just enough to get by on the game table.
So this past week and a half I have been diligently working on my Carthaginian General and one point of warriors being Gallic Cavalry.
I started out painting some Macedonian Cavalry for a friend and some Scifi infantry for another. The idea was to place paint on each grouping (including mine) to keep it fresh and to whittle away the pile. It started off okay until the cool models from Victrix, and the Little Bigmen shield transfers stole my heart.
Well that was that and I was off to the races. This project has been and on and off subject for two years and I now find myself within one point of fielding an army. Of course there are some odds and ends I would like to paint to flush it out and give myself some versatility, but I will maintain my focus on the next 12 levy I need. I’m going to try to put these and the other two groupings on the same plate again to see if I can get a little more done for my friends.
Here are a couple of pics.
