Random Painting Part 2

The summer with its fleeting sunshine, along with the usual work constraints and relocating, continue to prevent me producing reams of stuff for the present; however, I have managed a few bits and pieces. 
Here are a few shots of a couple of things I've been doing lately - not much admittedly - as I  have to decide with the limited time I have available whether to concentrate on smaller scale stuff, as I have done up now, or maybe branch out into something larger...hmmm.


Pendraken 10mm Confederate infantry - I've had these knocking about for a while and ACW is a definite for a new period, but which scale...? I intend to use THW's Rebels and Rifles rules set which I've recently acquired and like a lot.




Essex 15mm Early Imperial Legionaries for DBA or RRtK.





I've moved on in my painting approach now and prefer the less uniformed, grubbier approach compared with my earlier attempts at 15mm Romans, which were all clean and identical...


My latest prezzie and next job courtesy of my other half, who is determined to add to my metal and plastic mountain - bless 'er! I will have to dust off and finish my Warlord Romans, which I enjoyed first time round.

Having thought about it, the priority I think, is to concentrate on focus - easier said than done for me, anyway - and just get back to painting stuff -  however little - regularly; while I game at skirmish level, before moving onto to greater things...

That's it for now,

Essex 15mm Roman Cavalry

Just to prove that I am continuing to actually paint stuff, here are a couple of my recently finished Essex Roman cavalry units based for DBA or RRtK, which I may eventually get around to playing one day...

The General, based as a three figure, shock cavalry element.




All figures have had their original spears removed and replaced by the excellent wire examples from Crusader Minatures.

Roman cavalry men based as a two-figure mounted skirmisher element...
As usual, Army Painter Strong Tone varnish was employed throughout.


That's it for now, more to follow...

Regards,

Monty
