Title: (AP 2017) Coel Hen Romano British - The Army is Complete! finished 2nd Jan 2018
Post by: Lowtardog on June 19, 2017, 06:29:59 PM

Bit of a head start as I have begun this force.

The Plan;

14 units of foot, 13 infantry and (each unit 10 figures strong) a unit of light bowmen and 2x 5 figure units of cavalry plus leaders and characters.

I have 4 units finished (pictures later) . The forces are a mix of Gripping Beast, Footsore and Saxon Miniatures

so for this I am aiming for 20 minis a week (I am trying to catch up with other guys who have figures already painted) rules to be used Sword and Spear sold through Great Escape Games

At the moment I am in the swing and lead fever managing to paint 40 figures in 15 days  :D

Post by: Lowtardog on August 16, 2017, 10:35:57 PM

Well, managed to crack on, but have flagged in August finishing off 1 unit of 10, pleased though with progress. 10 units of foot done so 100 rank and file, 10 skirmishers on 2 bases of 5 and 3 command stands each of 3 figures.

That leaves only 3 units of foot. 2 units of 5 cavalry and a couple of command stands one a Christian priest the other Druids and finally a mounted general/ These will I think be a slow burn :)

Many thanks Richard, i really enjoyed painting them, got into a real routine churning them out but have lost steam this month. I think the remainder will be more akin to a unit a month or so. Especially as i have been a butterfly painting all sorts the last 3 weeks.

I finished painting the army on January 2nd with completing the general and Last Unit of Cavalry together with the Druid Base, however basing them took until the 6th

Finally done and pleased that they are finished the last 1/4 of figures were a chore  ;D

Many thanks gents,  :) I am calling it done, luckily my group of fellow gamers have moved onto other periods so the force I have will match in terms of the rules anything opponents may have so I can rest easy and avoid the lure of new lead ;D

Finishing my Maori off which was another project with only 70 or so models to complete and trying to tweak This very ground rules to fit the 1846-47 campaign
