I’ve finished the first command stand for the Evil Chinese army - The Court of the Chaos Queen.
Really enjoyed painting these figures and found 25s a nice change after painting so many 15mm Indians.
I’m basing everything on double size 15mm bases (so 80mm wide) and doubling the 15mm distances - as suggested to me by Steve Dean. I think the bases look a lot better than cramming everything in on an 80mm base.
I’ve realised that I am never going to stick to one project at the moment - I get so little time to paint that I’m happy just painting whatever catches my fancy at that time. This means that I am currently working on at least three projects:
1) Classical Indian Army for Field of Glory. I have just finished the initial batch of 72 archers for this; all based and finished.
The next batch will be the 9 Elephants (including generals) which I am about halfway through.
2) Gangsters. No more progress made on the buildings, but I now have the matchsticks for window ledges and cornices required to finish the roof.
3) HOTT armies. I’m planning on building 2 25mm HOTT armies using the Tales of the Dragon Kings range. So far I have got about 2/3rds of the first command stand finished…
