10mm Roman Command stand

Here's my first entry into the Analogue Painting Challenge; a 10mm Republican Rome command stand.  Figures are from the Pendraken cavalry pack, nice enough sculpts, but the rest of the pack are all one pose figures - one of my pet hates!

I want to avoid the whole sea-of-red look for my Romans, so tried using green as the main colour and will probably keep it as the main colour for the legionnaires.  These guys have sat glued to the base since the last year, so it was somewhat apt that I started this year's challenge with them.  4 points done!  Chuffed with that.

Sadly after day two, I'm already a bit behind schedule!  My scheduled day off on Monday went a bit pear-shaped and I ended up working a long shift.  Work and the club on Tuesday meant no activity at all. I managed to get some brushwork in this morning, but am going to have to push Thursday and Friday nights to get the theme weekend entry completed on time. Still, there's plenty of time left, isn't there?

Punic Wars - Roman Socii Archers

The eagle eyed of you will have noticed these in my last post, but I managed to get them finished yesterday.  The second entry to the Analogue Painting Challenge, some allied archers for my Punic Wars project.

Again, 10mm Pendraken figures that could use another pose in the range, but still a nice little unit to paint up. I'm gradually getting used to this scale and have an idea now of what will and won't be visible once the basing is finished.

Not exactly the most interesting unit I could have done, but I'm trying to build up some momentum before starting the heavy infantry.  I am undecided over eight or ten figures per base, so it could be up to forty figures per unit, still daunting at this tiny scale!

Punic Wars - Numidian Horsemen

The first unit of the year is finished, a unit of Numidian Horsemen for my Punic Wars project.

This was also my first entry into Curt's Analogue Painting Challenge.  I was getting really fed up of seeing my name with no points next to it, so I picked a unit I could get painted in a couple session to get something on the board.

10mm figures from Pendraken, they're a nice little sculpt, like most of their range.  However, if you're going to make two poses, how much extra effort is it to make a third sculpt?  Not sure if there are too many figures per base, but I want the two armies to have lots of boots on the ground - hopefully they still look like light cavalry considering how disordered they look.
