Dam that's impressive - I don't think I've painted that many figures in my life let alone for one battle/era!

Thanks chaps.  I now have a lot more completed troops, but unfortunately lack the time to photograph them!  Hopefully next week.

192 per tray.  :-)  Rather north of 900 pikes when added to the ones I painted in 2013/2014.

Last night I based a few final command stands painted by mate Shaun McTague.



Today I pack!
