A Look at Some Akkadians

While time at the painting desk seems at a premium of late due to other distractions, work continues albeit at a slower pace.  What time I find, continues to be monopolized primarily by SYW/WAS units.  Still, my attention is turning back to Biblicals and today's entry illustrates one such diversion.

Out from the workbench today are 24 Akkadian spearmen deployed into two units.  Figures are 28mm Newline Designs.  Superb sculpts.  These Akkadians march out to reinforce the Sumerian project.  Remaining in The Lead Pile are enough Akkadians to form two more such 12-figure units. 

What other Biblicals are working through the painting queue?  Well, there are two bodies of Babylonian spear in progress at present.  Two dozen Hittite spear are being prepped for undercoating.  I would like to work more Biblicals into the painting queue in 2025.  Off to a good start in the New Year but the pace really needs to increase if March production is going to come anywhere close to totals seen in January and February.

Working up rules for an upcoming Wars of the Roses game is taking away time at the painting desk as I prepare to bring the WotR collection to the table for the first time.  Still, much to consider and refine as I wrestle with building something (hopefully) useful, enjoyable, and challenging.
