no - after setting up the forces I realised I still needed some more archers and some more fyrd. These have just arrived and should be finished by March - the inaugural battle of Hastings is being fought on March 10th - an all day affair

Thanks for all the wonderful comments chaps

I'm of two minds here:

Do I report you for having some coterie of poor souls chained up in some soundproofed basement slaving away 23 hours a day painting your miniatures you purport to be your own work? 

Or do I demand, demand I say, that you provide us all with a detailed light-speed painting tutorial?

That's way freakin' above 30 figures per day, start to finish - and based, too!

Now I'm of two more minds:

Do I hate you for showing us all up?

Or, do I just continue to love your work?

You scoundrel!    lol

Why the heck hasn't LAF brought forth that "Green With Envy" emoticon yet?

Outstanding! Not sure how you manage to paint that quantity so well and so quickly. I thought I was cock of North painting 12 in a sitting. And they are Egyptians so like 90% flesh.
