Elite Scum Completed

Finished some sword-armed Early Germans:

These tend towards the wealthier end of the spectrum.

Shot from above shows the basing.

Here's how they look with some friends.

A slightly closer look at frothing loons. 28mm figures by Old Glory. So far that's 144 painted. Must do more - can't resist!

On the painting desk: July 2017

More Old Glory Germans:

Two almost completed 24-figure elite war bands that can be combined to make a particularly large one, plus the start of the command stands for two 48-figure war bands. With any luck, I'll find time soon to complete the elites. I really only need to add a figure or two and gunge the bases...

Great idea for pre-battle manoeuvres

Do have a look at this:

Mark has posted this on his blog, which I am now following. It's a neat way to represent those times, especially in a campaign, where multiple forces need to try to arrive on the field at the same time. It could also be a really good way to simulate things like Mongol envelopments and so on - the possibilities are endless.
