This will probably be the last lot of Sassanids or Romans until I can get more bases (though you never know... they are rather fun to paint )
You may also have noticed that these chaps have been based... and Textured...
After much pondering I have come up with a new basing style that is..... pretty much the same as my normal one.... except.... with added rocks.
I am rather pleased with how everything looks... I don't know why it took me so long to make a decision...
You may also have noticed that this will be my tenth post this month... a bit of a record for me...
For some reason I seem to have more time on my hands...
So.... Next... something shiny and texturing bases.
All the best Aly
Splendidly turned out fellows there Aly, now it's me being tempted🤔
ReplyDeleteLike your new basing👍
Thank you Phil...
DeleteYou know you want to... and you already have the Romans...😁
All the best. Aly
You seem to be having a very productive period Aly! These cavalry are wonderful and the basing looks fantastic too. I really like the idea of six figure units too!
ReplyDeleteThank you Keith...
DeleteIt’s nice to clear some of the backlog that was building up on my painting desk...
There are a couple more Sassanid units in the lead mountain... all I need is the bases...
The six figure cavalry units work really well for me... it doesn’t seem as daunting as twelve or more...
All the best. Aly
Excellent figures, and I like the rocks!
ReplyDeleteThank you Nate...
DeleteI was surprised how much of a difference they made to the look of the bases.
All the best. Aly
'With added rocks', I like that! They turned out really well Aly.

DeleteThey have been surprisingly effective...
All the best. Aly

ReplyDeleteThank you Jonathan...
DeleteFortunately I don’t think I will run out of toys to paint...
All the best. Aly
Great work as always! As to having more time.. true, I'm just finishing a second unit of Napoleonic Austrians (36 each) made in less than 3 weeks, and thinking about restarting my blog, or starting a new one :-)
ReplyDeleteThank you Jan...
DeleteYes you should restart your blog...it would be nice to see your toys.😁
All the best. Aly
This is my old blog, that I haven't updated since my first visit to the Perry's http://czasowstrzymywanie.blogspot.com/ You can see some of my minis in the old posts. This time I think I will start a new blog in English or bi-lingual.... or maybe continue wit the old one but just change the language settings.
DeleteFollowing...😁
