One more Assyrian unit remains before I flip the switch to move on to something else for parading across the table. Saving the biggest for last, next time, an Assyrian four-horse chariot with assorted supports.
In other work, the rebasing of the 28mm Napoleonics continues. French and allied skirmishers have all been rebased from singles to pairs. In the reorg, several singletons were left unpaired. These missing pairs will need to be put into the painting queue to bring three or four skirmish stands up to full muster. Next, tackle the British and Portuguese skirmisher reorg. A quick count shows a half-dozen or more British skirmishers will be needed to bring the English Army up to full complement of skirmisher stands.
A great addition to your Assyrian army, Jonathan. Inspiring as always.
ReplyDeleteYou are very kind, Dean! Your latest Nassuans sure look great!
DeleteThese look great and love the sound of a chariot in the offing. This army should look lovely once on the table.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Steve! Yes, a chariot off the blocks next. This Assyrian Army has grown much beyond my expectations. Now, I really need to turn some attention to Hittites.
DeleteLovely looking figures Jonathan...
ReplyDeleteAnd as always an excellent choice of colours...
All the best. Aly
Thank you so much, Aly! Glad you approve of the color combination.
Delete"Yet another...." beautifully painted unit of ancient Assyrians, Jonathan !
ReplyDeleteGreat work as always and I am really looking forward to seeing the chariot.
Thanks, Keith! Chariot will be appearing soon...
DeleteAnother lovely Assyrian unit and it looks splendid! Looking forward to the chariots!
ReplyDeleteBest Iain
Much appreciated, Iain!
DeleteLovely work I blinked and you have completed three units ! Looking forward to seeing the battle unfold
ReplyDeleteThanks, Matt! Don't blink!
DeleteAll good, this is going to be one stunning army. It made me think of how we think of napoleonics as being ‘the’ colourful period uniform wise, but these Assyrians with their ‘simple’ uniforms are every bit the colourful spectacle.
ReplyDeleteWell, the army may not be stunning but it will certainly be large! After I put this "last" chariot out on display, I think I will gather the troops to assess what I have done.
DeleteGlad you like them!
Love them Jonathan, its quite an army ou will have there, well done.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Robbie! The army is becoming a force to be reckoned with, no doubt!
DeleteThose look great Jonathan! I keep thinking I should start Biblical armies again and this adds fuel to the fire.
ReplyDeleteChristopher
Thanks! You should consider fielding a Biblical army. They are great fun!
DeleteGreat work Jonathan.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Paul!
DeleteSuperb unit, waiting for next battle!
ReplyDeleteMerci, Phil!
DeleteWow they look scary! Ready to do some smiting.
ReplyDeleteThey look like toughies, for sure.
DeleteFab looking unit!
ReplyDeleteThank you!
DeleteExcellent Sab Sharri auxiliaries!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Mike!
DeleteI never get tired of looking at your Assyrians Jonathan, and am looking forward to the chariots and then (hopefully) a full army parade. Lovely work.
ReplyDeleteLawrence, very pleased that you have not yet tired of the seemingly endless steam of Assyrians. Only one more unit remains, for now. I will pull the collection out for a parade review soon.
DeleteFantastic unit Jonathan!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Michal!
DeleteI still am gob-smacked over how you manage to get so many minis painted up and based and to such a great standard too.
ReplyDeleteKeep it up Jon, it's inspiring.
Thank you, Dai! The secret is perseverance.
DeleteQuite a collection your accumulating at this point. They all look good. You've guilted me into working on my Kushites again. Let's see if I can finally get some Chariots completed....
ReplyDeleteThe number of Assyrian units is quite large. One more unit then it is time to drift off to something else. I look forward to seeing some chariots from you.
DeleteHave not heard from you in a long time. Finally back from your travels?
I like the combination of blue and yellow. Great figures!
ReplyDeleteGlad you like the color combo!
DeleteAn excellent looking unit, love the yellow!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Ray!
DeleteAnother excellent unit, Jon. There's a reason the Assyrians were my first Ancient army way back 40 (!) years ago. :-)
ReplyDeleteThanks, Peter! I can see why it was a favorite, It is one of mine too!
DeleteI’m such a newb in ancients that I can’t tell an Assyrian from a babelonion (or even spell it) but I do like the look of this unit. Good luck with the reorganization as well. 😀
ReplyDeleteThanks, Stew! If you see enough of them, you will be able to identify the figures for what they are. Or, simply look at Wargames Foundry and you will know immediately!
