After a brief detour through the land of game analytics and 28mm SYW Prussians, the unit parade returns to the Assyrian Wars project. Off the table today are twelve Judean spearmen from Newline Designs. With simple tunic and shield, these dozen warriors step off the painting desk in quick time.
Even with the long parade of units for this project having already passed in review, two more units remain in queue. Before I switch gears to other projects, one more unit of Assyrian auxiliary infantry and one more Assyrian four-horse chariot await in the photo booth wings. After these two units, a mish-mash of units and projects are readying themselves for parade including Spanish-American War Spanish, crossbowmen for the Reconquista, 15mm WWII German armor, two units for Samurai Battles, and a French infantry regiment for the 1799 project. Add to that a rebasing of skirmishers for the 28mm Napoleonic project and the photo booth will be busy for weeks to come.
Lovely work and a real pot pourri of projects in the pipeline. I have to admit that when I read the headline, I wondered if they were from the Popular Front or People's Front of Judea;)
Another cracking unit Jonathan. Reading through the list of unitsALREADY PAINTED and awaiting a photo op, I am amazed by your productivity! I manage to post a couple of times per week but I never have several newly painted units sitting in a queue waiting their turn, whereas you post every second day it seems AND still have units that have not appeared on your blog yet!
Thank you, Keith! You have been cranking through the figures of late as well, my friend. I can barely keep up with your frequent figure displays. Your series on female gunslingers are been very good.
I try to mix in other posts such as reviews, BatReps, analysis, travel, and whatever else I can conjure. That way, I do not quickly run out of figures to share.
Very nice. Clean and simple but they'll stand out on the table.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Aaron! I think they will look good on that the table too.

ReplyDeleteThank you, Steve! My hobby life is a real pot pourri of projects!
DeleteThese Judeans will see action for and against the dastardly Assyrians.
A lovely looking unit Jonathan...
ReplyDeleteYou certainly have plenty variety on the painting fron...
All the best. Aly
Front... ;-/
DeleteThanks, Aly! Plenty of variety keeps me from becoming bored at the painting desk.
DeleteLovely figures as always Jonathan but I cannot get Life of Brian out of my mind :)
ReplyDeleteMuch appreciated, George! You know, nothing wrong with being reminded of the classic "Life of Brian."
Deletevery nice, the punchy red instantly elevates the look of the unit.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Norm! You have a way with words. "Punchy," I like that!

Brilliant painting Jonathan.
ReplyDeleteYou are very kind, Ray!
DeleteExcellent spearmen Jonathan!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Mike! I continue to be on a Biblical Bender, for now. That will change soon although I need to get going on Hittite Army.
DeleteA very effective colour scheme on these Jonathan. The red shields with the bronze boss works brilliantly with the white tunics.
ReplyDeleteGlad you like the simple, white tunic and red with bronze shield. The red shield with bronze trim is a pleasing combination.
DeleteFantastic looking unit!
ReplyDeleteThanks!
DeleteFine work on these spearmen, great addition!
ReplyDeleteMerci, mon ami!
DeleteGreat work Jonathan
ReplyDeleteMuch appreciated, Nathan! You have been turning out a lot of great looking Star Wars stuff.
DeleteNice looking unit!
ReplyDeleteThank you!
DeleteBeautiful and... discipline ..:)
ReplyDeleteThanks!
DeleteLovely Judean front types! I'm painting Newline figures and rather like them!
ReplyDeleteBest Iain
Thank you! Newline are more rounded than other sculpts but I like them too.
DeleteLovely work, and those Newline figures are very nice. People's Front of Judea or Judean People's Front? I know who I want them to be!
ReplyDeleteCheers,
Aaron
Thanks, Aaron! Hope you are settling into your new environs.
DeleteThese red shields are looking very special.
ReplyDeleteGlad you like the shields!
DeleteLooking very good, and useful. enemies and/or allies for a number of Biblical armies!
ReplyDeleteThanks! A useful addition, for sure.
DeleteJudean’t kidding around with these guys!

Ba da Boom!
