Although of course now everywhere the poor little bugger goes he has to drag that enormous rock around with him.  ;D

Thanks for the kind words people. :)

Thanks aphillathehun  :)

It's 300g/mē weight gouache paper. Anything lighter and you risk the paper crinkling which ain't good- yep, it's happened before  :-X

Although of course now everywhere the poor little bugger goes he has to drag that enormous rock around with him.  ;D

Not him personally, he's got his Germanic 'biscuit eaters' to lug things around  :D However, this poor chap will have to do his own dirty work:

Just check some sand on and they'll  look the business mon ami :)

So, maybe Partizan next year if we're lucky or if you attend any of the Swordpoint Dark Ages events? I'm easy.

Oh gees they are nowhere near finished yet chap!  80 x 50 two bases to a war band/shield wall.  Will start a thread when the first units complete.  Have a Winter King project on the go!  Look forward to rolling some dice with you sir😉🤙

We've got plenty of time mate.... at least a year by my calculations. It would be a really good thing to set a pencilled in date as any target to shoot at now that clubs etc are out of the question would be a real boon to getting projects completed.

BTW, I have amazed myself in that I'm still being good and have actually stuck to the three projects though I must be honest and say, there might be a forth creeping in  o_o lol

Link to the first hand painted banner is below in case you missed it. I haven't painted a banner by hand apart from simple stuff for many a year and was 'sweating it' a bit when I did both this one and the one with the unit of Dismounted Bucellarri:
