Progress on the job list. Not all tasks are equal. 7 is a LOT, LOT bigger than5 for example. But just sticking things down in black and white has encouraged me to get some blooming things done.
 |
| About 3.9m. In my usual SYW scale that's about 11 miles. I wasn't happy with the edging but I couldn't get the clumps to stick so stuck with grass. |
 |
| Not so many houses, or walls. A bit rough and ready but they'll do. |
 |
| Nearly all the hoplites. I haven't got quite enough to finish off the 8th unit, but I'm looking at ways to bodge some conversions. |
 |
| The Persian close order archers. About 190 in total. |
 |
| They were originally based in uniform coloured units but they got jumbled up once prised off the old bases and I thought, varied colours in each unit looks better. If I had painted them from scratch I'd have done them in uniform colours. |

It's a start.
DeleteAtta boy!
ReplyDeleteTa!
DeleteA great start.
ReplyDeleteThanks Richard.
DeleteThat seems like decent progress to me Chris, well done!
ReplyDeleteCheers Keith
DeleteGood progress. The river sections look like they would be quite tedious to do.
ReplyDeleteDoing the flock was. Especially as I had to do it twice.
DeleteChris
A good start there Chris and those 'easy wins' do help keep the mojo going I find:).
ReplyDeleteI agree Steve. Although I didn’t manage to find the time to do any more at the weekend.

That's a lorra lorra rivers! They look good, I have some of those Pendraken rivers too and they worked out very well. The Hoplites and Persians look great, too. So now you can have them fighting over a river crossing..?
ReplyDeleteI could couldn’t I. I might just do an inter-poleis battle first to test out the Alalas! rules.
DeleteTara chuck!

Great looking river sections and mixed hopolites! Irregular painting I tend to batch paint similar colours together then mix them up, much like you've done accidentally!

That’s what I did with my Punic War light troops too, but as these Greeks and Persians came ready painted, it was fairly simple to mix them up colour wise.
