Mongols Finished

Well after finally playing in their first game of Warmaster I made a big push to get the remaining Brigade of my Mongol army finished and that's finally everything, painted, inked and flocked.

And a shot of them in action before I got them all finished off. The Skirmish rules in Warmaster Ancients are a bit of a pain to get your head round but using them a couple of times it made a lot more sense.  I think it could get very frustrating very quickly for the opponent but Ric said it wasn't too bad once he'd figured out how to combat the evasions.

Or at least that's them as finished as they need to be right now. I'm sure there will be more joining the ranks eventually, get them brought up to a 2,000 pt army but this was fine for an evenings game.

Mongol Comparison

After talking about it at club tonight, here's the pic I took of my various 10mm (Historical) cavalry

From the left, Mongol, Mongol, Knights, Arabs, Mongols, Knights, Knights. The Mongols and the Arabs are from Pendraken and the Knights are from GrandScale I think they're called. (The OldGlory Uk 10mm stuff)

The Mongols although small when sat side by side are very crisp sculptures and you won't notice when arrayed in an army by themselves.

Painting Update

Well it's been a while since I last did a proper post, I've mostly been concentrating on my 10mm stuff for quite a while now. With the exception of a Zeveda ME109 my German Army is finished now, the reason for this was so I could enter it into the Pendraken Painting competition, seeing as I started it 2 years ago and entered the first infantry unit I painted into the comp 2 years ago. I did the big push at the start of the month to get the Tigers and Panzers finished for the deadline.

Other than that though I've been soldiering on with my Arab army and I only have a couple of Cavalry Units left (about half way done) and they'll be done for the moment. Enough for about 1100-1200 pts for Warmaster. (and I have enough for another Infantry Brigade)

Now that I'm at that stage, I've prepped all of my Crusaders and Mongols and I intend to do them one unit from each at a time to help relieve the monotony of doing an army of entirely horse archers and one of mainly armour.

If these get too much, I also have the last few High elf Cavalry and my Undead to get stuck in about to finish them off to the 1200pts I'm aiming for. Alternately I can finish off basing my 28mm Medieval stuff for Impetus, Dux Brit, Saga etc. Or get started on my Airfix North Africa stuff.
