A Week’s Work

 It has been a long week, with no gaming, and very little fun. But, I have accomplished two things, I’ve read my Bible every day, and painted figures every day. Both are helpful and healing. So without diving into the week any further, I’ll dive into my accomplishments!

Please forgive the poor quality of the photos, due to cleaning a lot of my supplies have been put up for a bit, including my fancy lamp. I’ve painted a lot of my 15’s this week by taking it slow. That’s two stands of archers, 1 bill, 1 spear, 1 stand of knights.

The stands of bills and spears together. You may recognize the shields of the spear men, I rebased them into the stand from their individual stands. I will try to game something soon to show these bill-boys off in better light.

A stand of knights with maces and heater shields. Two on the stand looked better than three to my eye, so they have a bit more room to swing their mighty clubs of command.

Finally, the archers. Always so close to my heart. I love archers. I don’t know why. Maybe it’s because they are always the right choice of supporting cast for knights, maybe it’s the sound of arrows whistling, maybe it’s a (probably misremembered) story of a young William Marshal valiantly defending a town with only a company of archers and a handful of knights.

I have done two stands to form a proper block like I see in most stand-based games, a precursor to the other infantry units. I’m still keeping a handful of my 15’s individually-based, however, for small skirmishes…which we all know are my comfort zone!

Better pictures and some action reports to follow, I’m just trying to figure out the new job—rather, how to avoid the workplace politics of the new job!
