More figures painted in a day than I have in a year. The shame!

Well done.
That is a lot of time painting.
May I ask, how many hours did you take to paint all the figures?

I reckon each regiment took 2-3 hours. I cheated somewhat by doing all 60 horses, tack etc in one sitting of about 4 hours. Add another hour for all the bases.

The riders only 12 of them in each unit took a couple of hours...that's 10 minutes per figure

Please note that this does not include assembly, adding grit to base or priming. I did all the figures in one go for this stage.


I am tackling the infantry by regiment ...40 figures at a time. I'll time the process and feed back on the blog and here

I can report steady progress on the ECW Army - 200 of the 280 core infantry now painted, dipped and varnished - the rest almost done...

A bigger update report on the blog

Some of the many painted footsoldiers



Hopefully get the rest done this weekend

You're a one man sweatshop Giles! It's a much underrated period and nice to see it getting the Shed treatment. Did you check out the Bicorne character figures? They may well be too large for Warlord but they are very nice.

Oh, Giles, I think shed assimilates you to a painting machine. I am very jealous. My lead mountain needs a Giles...

Not a period of interest - tried it once and painted some stuff but didn't work for me - but your productivity is inspiring.  It's all a matter of well organized assembly line processes.  Once upon a time I could put out 250 painted and textured based figures in a month or less.  Hope to return to such levels soon now that so many worldly distractions have faded into the background.  Keep inspiring me (or is that shaming me?)

Go, man, go!   :-*

Great work.
It should be inspiring to all of us that you can paint so many figures.
You have inspired me to kick in painting my AWI project.
Don't know if I can match your output.
But 30 figures a week is my goal.
That would be 300 painted in 10 weeks.
