Some Assyrians

I'm not to happy painting 15mm (except for Xyston), so I painted these Middle Assyrians from Essex with the Dip. They are not that nice looking, but its a fast way to make them ugly. So why do I paint them? Because I will need a Biblical army next week-end.

The last to arrive

The last of the troops to arrive to make the army battle-ready is the Libyan mercenary cavalry. If I paint a Numidian army they can also double as General for them. I will of course continue painting more for this army. I will need more of eveything; more Light Horse, Cavalry, Spear, Auxilia, Psiloi, Elephants and Warbands. You always need more elephants. And I'm also painting Hannibals veterans.

What will the next army be? Hard to say, but Crusader Miniatures will soon release Successor pikemen, hoplites and thureophoroi. I love that. Maybe I will paint it as Molon's army (the renegade Seleucid satrap of Media). The army will be very colourful, the cloth and armour will be inspired by the Persians. This really gives me a hard-on.

The elephants have arrived!

Here is the first Carthaginian elephant. He's from A&A Miniatures and is pretty cool. I would recommend everyone to buy an elephant and paint it.

More Germans

Here are five more Germans.

New Germans

Here is three new (and two old rebased) Germans. They are from Graven Images.

Mistress Abigail

And here is another of the nice mistresses.

Spanish Cavalry

Here is my Spanish light cavalry.

More skirmishers

You can't get enough of Libyan skirimishers, here are some more.

Carthaginian Thureophoroi

After a while the good citizens of Carthage didn't want to fight as hoplites any more. Instead they started fighting as Thureophoroi (or something similar). As usual they are from Crusader.

More Libyan mercenaries

Here are more Libyan mercenary hoplites.

Today I got some Carthaginians so I can finish my army. Its some cavalry and an elephant.

Mistress Tara

This is Mistress Tara. She is 40mm tall and from Graven Images.

Some Germans

Right now Weird World War seems to be very popular. I can only say: Bring on the Zombies! But first some Germans. They were very funny to paint so I get more to paint! These Germans are 40mm and from Graven Images.

More Libyans

Here are more Libyans, this time it's skirmishers.

Disturbia

Graven Images (which is distributed by Monolith) has a very nice range called Disturbia. Here is a few of their miniatures from a sub-range called "Torture Garden". I like them, they were really fun to paint. They are 40mm high from toe to eye.

This is Mistress Lorna

and this is a gimp rider and her friend Mistress Sonia.

But now I have to go back to my Mistress, she is calling.

Libyan Mercenary Hoplites

Here is some libyan mercenary hoplites.

Normans vs Patricians

Me and Rickard had a good DBA game. The figures are 28mm. We fought twice, I lost both.

Libyan mercenary hoplite command

This is my Libyan mercenary hoplite command.

Thracian DBA Army

This is my Thracian DBA army (I/48). I used Xyston figures. It was actually the first 15mm army I painted, it was great fun. The Thracian army have one cavalry (the general), six auxilia and two psilois. They can also have three light horse or auxilia or any combination of it.

This is the general and his retinue. They are heavily armed and hellenized cavalry from the south of Thracia.

These men are, like their chiefs, heavily hellenized. They are lowland thracians from the south.

Here are the warriors. They are though hill-men looking for trouble.

These men are the armies skirmishers.

Celt-Iberian Command

Here is the first of my new Celt-Iberians. It's the boss and his pals.

Iberian skirmishers

Here is some Iberian skirmishers.
