I should really have started painting these guys in batches of eight as they are then a complete unit worth one point in the game. I usually paint in sixes no matter what the models are and I followed that habit without thinking. I have twelve finished and that is a point and a half. Most games are six points so that is a quarter of the way. I added some crosses to the Ceorls shields as I will be copying another Littlebigman studio banner for this army. It will be a depiction of Christ and so the shields which were originally painted many moons ago should reflect this a little. I also made a start on my Geburs, the poorest quality troops available so that I will have close to a fully painted army for Saturday. I can see myself spending far too much time painting this week to get everything done!

I really like how you've done your shields. I look forwards to seeing this army grow!
ReplyDeleteThanks, the shields take ages to do but I think it is worth it.
DeleteWhat game is this for? I don't recall any ancients-type game where six points is 1/4 of an army....
