On one on my recent digs through The Lead Pile, I turned up several blister packs of Artizan and Crusader Reconquista figures. Most of these packs were likely picked up from a Caliver Books' order from a long time ago. Anyway, with the Reconquista games still in mind from the beginning of the year, I figured why not push some of these figures into the painting queue. Well, that is exactly what I did.
The dozen figures formed up today are a body of Andulasian spearmen from Artizan Designs. Fine sculpts and easy to field. When will the Reconquista see action back on the table? I do not know but next time these spearmen may just take to the field.
A second installment of the Battle Among the Tombs is up for later this week. Should be fun to refight the scenario and see if I can improve upon my results. I have yet to see which army my opponent will choose. After this, one-to-one battle is in the books, I may schedule a multiplayer game and see how that goes.
Activity on the painting front has slowed (OK, even slower than before!) as I undertake a rebasing of my growing Wars of the Roses collection. Details on that task another time! In addition to the rebasing of the WotR project, idle time has been spent sticking together more Perry WotR figures.
Holy Moly! This post showed up in the blogroll almost immediately!
Lovely looking unit there Jon, with a nice choice of colours, nicely complimented by the flag:). Very nice sculpts too. Good to see the Blog post back to normal, famous last words, so let's hope they have fixed the issue...
ReplyDeleteThanks, Steve! Yes, let's hope that blogger has returned to normal operations.
DeleteCracking looking unit Jon, very nicely painted and rather nice figures, good sense of movement.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Donnie!
DeleteYet more El Cid period figures? Is that lead pile inexhaustible? ☺
ReplyDeleteRebasing? That way lies insanity! I assume it's due to a new set of rules?
Neil
Still more where these fellas came from although the supply of figures for this period is dwindling. The Lead Pile is HUGE, Neil!
DeleteRebasing is not so bad. The whole process can be enjoyable. The rules are not changing but I wanted the stands to fit into my four inches hexes better. I know, I know...
Wonderful looking casts, superbly painted. A lovely unit, Jonathan
ReplyDeleteMuch appreciated, Richard!
DeleteThose are great looking figures Jon and you have done a nice job painting them. I agree with Neil regarding re basing!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Keith! I am likely in the minority when it comes to tackling the rebasing of an entire project.
