So progress on this log has slowed what with being abroad and trying to pass a driving test, but let's rectify that
I have finally got round to finishing my first unit! Thanks to 8th Edition being all about the big units, this task has taken me longer than I thought it would. However, collectively the unit was finished in about 11 hours over about 4 days (I get bored after 3 hours) so still pretty speedy per model I guess. It was a huge relief to finish them off but then I saw all the work I still have left. I still have another unit of 35 Swordsmen, 30 Militia, 20 Missile Troops, 15 Horsemen and 20 Greatswords. It's a mammoth task but hopefully it will be done by September (so I can start playing games once I have the small rulebook from the boxed game, I can't afford the big book right now).
I think I'll be taking a break from infantry, or at least uniform infantry, for now, so in the next update you will see either Cavalry or Militia.
Anyway, we're still on this update, and the reason you've all come looking is for pictures, so I won't disappoint you. (the pictures themselves on the other hand...
)
In these pictures the men, under the guidance and magical protection of Grubart the Grey, are scouting a recently destroyed wood cutter's house and farm for signs of any remaining Ogres from the band who devastated the small community of Bezeinhof.
