Day 28 and another command stand has been completed in the last few days of the #30days30figures painting challenge.

The figures are from Old Glory's Blue Moon range and hope to have another stand completed before the end.

Day 28

Figures completed 48

Cheers for now

How far Jerusalem?

The start of a new series of posts for this blog detailing the progress on several related projects in different scales.

Firstly, will be the Ayyubid army of Saladin for ADG in 15mm. Figures being a mix of Black Hat Miniatures (Gladiator Miniatures), Essex and Minifigs.

Next will follow the Late Crusaders again in 15mm with the figures coming from Black Hat Miniatures.

In between both of these will be some Crusaders and Saracens in 28mm. Undecided yet which way to go with these although there is a fair chance that this will involve a military order steeped in both history and myth.

The title of these posts is linked to the central theme and location for the armies and a hommage to an old favourite by Magnum:

More on this shortly

Cheers for now.

Day 21 and 22 sees another two Romano Brits completed prior to basing.

This finishes the first Hearthguard unit for the Romano Brits with all the figures coming from Gripping Beast's Age of Arthur range.

Something smaller for the next few days and hopefully some 28mm figures for the last dash to day 30.

Day 22

Figures completed 45

By the way somehow I have got the days wrong as this actually day 26 so the above figures were painted on day 24 and 25.

Cheers for now

#30days30miniatures - challenge up date

Now into the last third of the #30days30miniatures painting challenge and here is a progress update so far.

Figures painted and completed so far:

6mm - 20 cavalry
15mm - 13 infantry
28mm - 11 infantry

The majority of the figures painted have been started prior to the challenge beginning.

This challenge is an excellent way of tidying up the painting desk and is proving to be a great motivator to paint.

Here is the state of the painting table as of this morning.

Cheers for now.

Day 19 and moved back to Ancients for a brief change of interest.

The Foundry slinger below is from the first range of Greeks cast by Foundry. Different in both scale and sculpting style than the later World of Greeks range.

Back to the dark ages for the next few posts.
