While I am still enjoying a steady stream of games of late, most of the combat has been raging across tables other than my own. Without the work of hosting a game, I have the luxury of dropping in on my remote host and playing a relaxing game. An added benefit of this short hiatus is that work at the painting table is beginning to pick up. Now, a winter pick up in production is not unusual. In fact, I have documented my seasonal painting tendencies more than once. This analysis may be something to update and present after the books are slammed shut on the Painting Log for 2025.
Back to today's painting effort.
Sticking with the Reconquista theme from the last painting update, today sees two, 12-figure bodies of spearmen emerge from the workbench. These 24 figures are all BTD and are among of the last "Christian" BTD figures left in The Lead Pile. There may remain a few handfuls to make up a command stand or two, but the bins are running empty.
I like these figures quite a lot with their, somewhat, grotesque facial expressions. These fellas will be a useful addition to the Christian armies for turning back the Moors.
With more time at the painting desk, a whole array of figures is marching through the production line. Units from a wide variety of projects will be meandering through the painting queue and into the photo box soon. Well, that is my hope and plan!
I am back to hosting a game on Friday when the Battle of Zallaqah sees one more outing. After that game, it might be time for something new. But what?
Beautiful work Jonathan 👏
ReplyDeleteThanks, Michal!
DeleteThe BTD figures look really nice Jon, with their snarling facial expressions! What to play next? Why not a collection we haven't seen....I don't think I have ever sent WW2 on your tables, for example?
