This is 24 hours output. Although the Normans and about 12 of the Saxon axe and swordsmen are from another decade and not painted by me. All 28mm Various makes, Warlord Games, Victrix, Conquest Games and Gripping Beast. Bit of kit bashing involved and even a GB Arab in there somewhere. Some scenery and cart base done . All for Sword and Spear Rules. Also last two units on workbench.

Unit on right, on bench needs basing finished


Archers are done like this, cause I am tight, the back lot can be used as Skirmish Bow.




As Skirmish bow


Only 3 of this lot are my painting


Some Norman Axes (part of Robert Bothwells collection, now based)




only 2 more units to finish the Army




Also a hovel




If it isn't enjoyable, it isn't gaming!

10th & 11th Foot units done, completing (Just need to find my banners, finish a couple of shields and paint last base)
So, Since March 17th when I started this project, I have painted 264 Foot (which includes Agincourt Foot Knights) and 22 Cavalry.  The odd 4 foot & 2 cavalry are command bases. Not a bad output and a 28mm army on table in 7 weeks! Will post the Army when completely finished.

Last 2 foot

Your "not bad" is better than my yearly output.  Now that is focus!  :)

Phil,

There seems to be a major glitch in the Photobucket matrix; the last two images aren't showing up mate, at least at my end.

Will look into it, thanks!
