Spartans with some paint

The painting project has begun, with Tim, Alex and I all painting up our Impetus Army. Alex's has finally arrived (which he can fill you in on) and Tim is fighting it out with LBMS shield transfers (they don't get along it seems).

As for me? Well I have been painting. Here is a close up of one of my first Spartans

The photo is not all that great, but it does give you a good idea for how they will look! Not the greatest painted Spartans in the world, but they will do the business all ranked up.

Speaking of ranked up, this is where my first Large Unit is at...

There are 9 painted, with 9 more to go. I have undercoated the rest, and painting has started. Hoping to get the whole lot done by the end of the week, then I can start the next unit!

Race you to a Basic Impetus army Tim!

So time for me to start another army… I have a sickness that requires me to buy miniatures.

Or at least that is how it feels sometimes. :)

So Pooch conned me into a Greek army and I thought Athenians would be a nice colourful option, even though we lost the war, at least there is still an Athens.

McZermof should have some great looking angry men on very angry horses to run over our troops as well. (If they ever arrive in New Zealand.)

Pooch handed me a plastic bag at work on Monday filled with Victrix Plastic Greeks and some Little Big Man Transfers; if only it was filled with cash.

The Starting Plastics Pile

So after an evening of assembling figures I had a go at a test figure, below it the result. He is quite shy so you can see more of him once he has some friends.

My Test Figure

The plan is to finish the first stand by Sunday, which will mean only another seven to go :)
