I've been working on the Night Lords but took an evening this week to paint up my Khazar bolt thrower crew. They're conversions off of some Byzantine crew, I sculpted the headwear, added beards and lengthened the shirts into robes.
I finished up another quick 15mm side project this week, the remaining eight spearmen for the 15mm Khazar. They won't be much use in the Khazar army, but I use them all in a Tahirid army which reverses the numbers of horse and foot units from Khazar. I'm all for double dipping figure usage, especially when it nets you a different playstyle.
Painting 15mm always seems to go quick, I finished these 15mm Slavic Light Foot for my Khazar army this week. I'd like to be able to double-dip with this army and play them as Tahirid too in Triumph! so they'll be usable there too.
Hopefully I'll be able to top-coat these guys tomorrow along with a few more Epic formations, then get them based up for a game Saturday. After that I think I'll tackle another four Night Lords.
I managed to finish these up for Fall In! but wanted to clean them up and finish a few more horse bow before I took pictures. I need a few more bases, and I can add six stands of elite calvary and four stands of light infantry, but this is a good place to stop for now.
I've fallen behind my schedule slogging through all these horses. They're pretty much down now, so I'm turning my attention to the riders. They got their various leathers basecoated and washed today, I need to highlight those next and then do the clothes, wood and accent colors. This is 31 of my 48 points, so hopefully I'll be able to get through the infantry quicker for the end of October.
I'll be heading up to Maine this week for a vacation, these 15mm Khazar are coming with me so I can start painting for the Fall In! Triumph! tournament.
