I've not made a lot of progress this week due to time constraints, but I did manage to clean up and prepare for painting the first batch of 20/25mm ancient figures. These are the HAT Roman Auxiliary Infantry and Parthian Light Cavalry sets, together with a few Minifigs Roman Cavalry. I'm hoping to get them all covered with PVA (the plastics) and primer (the metal figures) later today. More about the classical warfare project in a future post.
The usual mess on the tabletop. |
The HAT figures after cleaning up, washing, assembly and fixing to temporary bases for painting. |
And finally - a recent deal with Steve T involving some Airsoft gear resulted in the arrival of this box of 20mm toys. More on this later, when I've had time to assess the contents, but I offer the photo above mainly to generate jealousy - especially among my NZ readers. Sorry Paul.

Enjoy the Parthians, mine had a better game under Hail Caesar than they did under WRG 6th

Thanks Will. The Parthians will be a for me - with 6th Edn I only remember using Greek, Successor and Persian armies. And Vikings, but the less said about them the better...
You see what's on mine....we're in the same boat more or less it seems...)
Cor Blimey!! You are quite correct about the jealously tag.
It looks a lovely haul and I think you have your work cut out with all the recent in-comings I see you posting.
Lucky sod. I could not even enlarge the pic to take a good stock take.
Rifles are for fighting, guns are for fun!

. So my evil plan worked. There do seem to have been rather a lot of arrivals lately, but at least I managed a bit of painting over the weekend. Oh, and I'll post more pics of the WW2 haul to save your eyesight. .....

Not into Parthians But my Mid (Hat,Strelets etc) Imperial Romans might have to be Blogged
