Thanks Darby.
I’ve been working on the Roman cavalry these past weeks and finished up the Equites (aside for the shields) tonight.
The cavalry conversions got finished up this week, and they got primed and based as well.
I also had this Cretan leader type hanging around so I painted him up too. Not sure what he’s going to be used for yet.
The Hastatus shields are done as of tonight. I’ve got four bases of cavalry to do next, then everything needs some top coats and basing.
Work continues on the shields. I finished them for the Principes and Extraordinarii this week. On to the Hastati next.
I spent this week cleaning, priming and glueing shields on the Triarii, Principes and Extraordinarii. I also painted up the Triarii’s shields. I glazed one in the recesses to tone down the shading, not sure if I like it yet. Thoughts? I don’t know why I spent so much time on the figures, the shields cover 80% of the detail.
These Roman Extraordinarii kind of came along for the ride as I was working on the Principes. They just needed a bit more work that I completed tonight. I also finished up the bases for them and the Principes too.
I finished up my principes for a game of Triumph! this Saturday. I should be able to get them some bases by then too. I need to start figuring out what I’m going to do for all their shields. I’ll probably track down some design and make decals for them.
Back to the Romans! I finsihed up my Triarii this week and also spent some time putting together bases for everything.
Now I have usable units for Triumph! and can use the figures in a skirmish game as well. Next up is the Principes, cavalry and then I need to figure out the shields. I’m looking at some sort of decal at this point.
The Conquerors are finished, short of a top coat and some flocking. I might try to finish up some Executioners or Vultures for EpiComp, not sure yet. Either that or head back to the Romans or something completely different, we’ll see where the paint goes.
I finished up the Thunderers tonight after working on them for the past couple of weeks. They already made their game debut where they refused to activate for two turns.
I started on the Conquerors tonight too. I’m still hoping to finish these and the Executioners for EpiComp.
Thanks guys.
I think I started these Romans two weeks ago. They take a bit more time and effort than the WW2 Americans, I think it’s the red and metalics. I have their shields yet to do, but I wanted to clear coat them first as the shield covers so much of the figure.
I finished up the Velites tonight, the line infantry also has their basecoat of red down as well. I have a small local con coming up where I volunteered to run some Warmaster games so I’m going to take a break from these for a bit to finish up some 10mm terrain. Hopefully I’ll be back to painting them in September.
I finished up some more Epic armor conversions recently, notably Thunderers which have 18 pieces of plasticard on them.
I’ve been working on the Velites these past few weeks. Most of the colors have their basecoat down and I’m halfway through painting the red.
I started off my Polybian Romans with not painting any Romans at all, but Cretan Archers. I’ll be using these as skirmishers. These are closer to true 15mm than the Romans (more 18mm). I’m telling myself that the Romans were just better fed.
I’ve been painting my Turan Armored Company, on and off, for just just over two years now. With the exception of the Thunderbolts everything in the pictures below was finished in that time, some 5,000+ points. I’ve still got plenty left: 67 armored vehicles, 3 super-heavies, 40 Chimera and all the infantry I can pack into them. The plan is to keep plugging away until enough complaints have been filed and I move on to another Epic army. In the meantime, on to some 15mm Romans. I’ll come back to these later in the year to round out my entries for EpiComp[/url].
Thanks guys.
I finished up the flock on the Russes and Demolishers today, well ahead of schedule. I’ve got a backlog of stuff to varnish, so I think I’ll be setting that up this weekend then snap some updated army pics as requested.
I hope to finish up some conversions on a small 15mm Polybian Roman army I picked up in the coming weeks, and then get some paint on them.
The tiles are the odd shapes. You lay them on top of the topography grid so they don’t overlap one another. Here’s an example with Patchwork:
Thanks, CC.
I finished the last four prone troopers I had from my first batch of New Israeli that I picked up some 10+ years ago. I’m still thinking on the basing.
During the GZG Christmas sale I picked up a few reinforcements, and while they technically weren’t “on” it they were bench adjacent. So I built them all up, then based, primed, base coated and washed them all so they’re ready to go when I come back to them.
And after a short break to paint some Epic, this is what I managed to get done this week. I’m having second thoughts on the basing scheme, so they’re staying bare sand for the time being until I sort something out.
Being able to paint eight of them up a week made them a little addictiv, I finished a few more around Thanksgiving.
