Title: (AP 2019) Egyptian Sudan forces
Post by: syrinx0 on January 19, 2019, 05:07:46 AM: I will try to finish the Egyptian forces for my Sudan campaign. Went through the boxes to make sure I had all of the figures and found another 5 little black boxes. Waiting still are Scotts and yet more English. Here is the force though to complete this year:

This should keep me busy for awhile.

Post by: syrinx0 on March 30, 2019, 02:56:00 AM: Unfortunately theWarstore was having a spring cleaning sale and Deedles keeps posting more excellent pictures of his Sudan forces. This was too much to resist and I essentially doubled my forces getting more Sudanese, Egyptians and British. Sigh.

Continuing my focus on the Sudanese and Egyptians, starting the previous week I now had the following ready to begin painting:

HA! I was off most of this week and only managed to paint 24. Still, first time painting for 2019 so any progress is a good start. lol

Second unit of Sudanese, this time a firing line.

Title: Re: (AP 2019) Egyptian Sudan forces - last unit for 2019
Post by: syrinx0 on January 01, 2020, 11:42:27 PM: LPL grabbed most of my painting time but as that ended I was able to finish the 3rd unit of Sudanese for my AP Sudan project. I'm not happy with the overall basing as it sheds too much. I didn't add the second layer of sand to this unit as I need to decide how I want to refinish all of the units. I assume this will be my AP 2020 (and beyond) project at this rate.

See, I'm just being helpful! :D

Nice work.

Lots of great Sudan threads on this forum.

Post by: syrinx0 on May 26, 2020, 08:31:37 PM: As I cleared off the painting table of random figures from ages past and new arrivals I realized I had to return to the Sudan. Still not happy with my basing technique but at least half a box is done.
