Syrian Archers

Sitting down for meaningful work at the painting desk has posed a real challenge the last two months.  May productivity was looking rather grim until I managed to get in some quality time at the workbench this week.  Besides sticking together a bunch of Perry WotR plastic figures, these Syrian archers emerge from the production line.

Out from the desk today march 22 Syrian archers spread across three BMUs.  Two stands comprise massed archers and the third musters out as a skirmish stand.  Figures are 28mm Newline Designs.

These figures have languished in The Lead Pile for a very long time.  Finally, I decided to pull them from the bin and push them into the painting queue for a change up in period.  Glad I did.  I really like these sculpts and painting them was enjoyable after having produced a number of 18mm units.  Still more 18mm FRW units in work but this was a welcome change.  Seeing these Syrians emerge makes me want to push some more Biblicals into the painting queue.  First, though, I have my eye on WotR and Reconquista figures.

With these fellas coming out of the production line, thoughts turn toward bringing Biblicals back out onto the table.  Before that happens, I expect a return to Samurai battles.
