As we're getting near the end of the year, and I don't expect to be doing any more painting, I thought I'd tot up how many figures I've painted.
The total comes to 2445. Admittedly tiny little 6mm chaps, but not a bad effort. This breaks down as follows:
Punic Wars - 552 inf, 85 cav, 5 elephants, 6 staff
Mid-18thC - 1584 inf, 200 cav, 13 staff

| Gratuitous shot of 110 infantry figures (2 H&R packs) in their natural state. |
All of which makes me think I need to get some lead on the table. But what? Maybe a trial game with the Ancients as these have yet to appear in anger in the Kriegskabinet. And I want to get thinking about the annual NewYear campaign
That’s a lot of little soldiers to paint. Good job!
ReplyDeleteI’ve just had a flashback to dabbing a spot of flesh on 1200 little faces.

6mm or not that is an impressive total for the year, well done sir!
ReplyDeleteThanks Donnie.
DeleteSplendid effort!
ReplyDeleteAn ancient game sounds a plan.

The Ancients game will just be a straightforward bash to get a handle on the rules. Jonathan Freitag’s hex version of Basic Impetus.

Chris, they may only be 6mm but it's still an impressive total......

It’s mainly from 3 concentrated spells Neil. Interspersed with long periods of lethargy.

Well done fella - that’s a lorra lorra lead (as Cilla might have said).
ReplyDeleteTa chuck.
DeleteTa-Ra for now!
Not a bad effort at all Chris, even for 6mm figures. Impressive output and quality too:).
ReplyDeleteI aim for ‘good enough’.
DeleteThat is a lot of troops as you do a fine job with painting and basing the little figures.
ReplyDeleteThanks Peter
DeleteFantastic effort Chris.
ReplyDeleteCheers Ben
DeleteExcellent productivity Chris....looking forward to an Ancient mini campaign over the festive season!
ReplyDeleteAh, they’re two different things Keith. An ancients one-off game, and a WAS/SYW campaign. The last two years I did WAS campaigns with the table as the whole map and battles & sieges abstracted.
DeleteChris
At any scale that is a more than admirable amount of lead painted.
ReplyDeleteCheers Richard
DeleteYou've painted an amazing number of units recently, great stuff! Those Heroics & Ros figures look surprisngly crisp and detailed - I think they must have come on a bit since I last bought from them ( 30+ years ago!). I look forward to seeing these - or the ancients - in action!
ReplyDeleteI haven’t noticed any change in the SYW figures since I first bought some in c1987. Lately they’ve had more flash on them I think. Maybe be I’ve worn out the moulds 😆
DeleteChris
101 figures are many. I didn't really thought about my problem when I bought my next sets, as I already have too many figures indeed.
ReplyDeleteIt's nice to see your progress in the hobby. Cheers!
