Seleucid cataphracts

Greeting Blogonians,

So finally Russ has an update on his Seleucid army! C'mon its only been about 6 months -that's practically meteoric for me.....

Anyways...

I've pretty much cleaned up the majority of my miniatures and undercoated a good deal of them. I plan to complete the entire army and then go back and do the basing in one huge final step - mainly so I do the same thing and keep the army cohesive. I tend to forget what I did to make it look that way so I figured that would the safest step.

I've started on the cavalry. My cataphracts are complete, my camlery should be completed tonight and hopefully by the end of the weekend I'll have my companions complete. After that its the chariots, elephants and the command stands. Then all of the infantry.......sigh such a huge phalanx...
Here's some pics of the completed cataphracts....

Carthaginians Are Go!

Seems I've found my mojo again now. I've finished my first unit of Carthaginians (Numidian Foot) apart from the basing. Next up is the Numidian Horse x 2 which are already cleaned and assembled. The foot only took about 2 hours to paint so hopefully the horse won't be much beyond that.
Here's a pic of the foot as they stand...

New Year, Back on Track...

Crikey. It's been the best part of two months and I've been sorely sidetracked by other projects, mainly an entire Flames of War DAK army and a pile of pulp 28mm figs.

Anyways, things are back on track. Here's a pic of the completed camp for my Burgundians. I'm quite pleased with how it turned out - almost a mini diorama so to speak. I'm planning a similar effort for my Carthaginians...

Cheers,

Burgundian Ordonnance Complete!

I've finally finished my Burgundians. Two A4 sheets of flags seemed a bit over the top when I was cutting them up but they all got used bar one single infantry flag. I've not done an actual count but you can see it adds up to quite a lot of glitz.

In total the list works out to a solid 800pts but can stretch to 1000pts by using everything.

Please excuse the quality of the images. I'm a fairly average photographer anyways and the light is very poor today with the rain.

Pics one and two show three BGs of knights, pic three is command, pic four is mixed pike and bow BGs (an organisation perculiar to Burgundian Ordonnance) and pic five is more pike / heavy foot.

Cheers,

Some tents...

Just a quick one about the resin tents I mentioned in an earlier post. They arrived today and are very nice indeed. Baueda do quite a large range with plenty of options. Restricting myself to just 3 was quite a challenge.

The pic shows the two medieval pavilions for my Burgundian Ordonnance and the Roman tent "borrowed" by my Carthaginians.

Cheers,
