I have actually made some progress on the painting front.
A plethora of French Xbow (Dark Ages period) - 2 x 8Bw & 2 x 4Bw - Minifigs that have sat around for years. The Scythed Chariot has one 'billy-no-mates'.
I received 9 x Tibetan 3Kn cataphracts. The DBx lists requires 4Kn per element so I had to re-base them. Minor touch-ups required (nearly all the spears had lost paint). The final element I slightly re-painted in order to convert them into Khambra nobles (Cv) with bamboo armour. I liked Glenn's original painting so tried to alter it as little as possible.
Working on the other cavalry and the infantry at the moment. Surprised at just how many figures I could find. No intention of raising a DBM army though as it is horribly unbalanced.
Chris handed me 14 figures yesterday - the Essex figures were easy to identify:
8 x HSA15 - Russ Axemen
2 x EMED31 - Russian bowmen
The last 4 are, however, a bit of a mystery (pictured above). They have solid bases so not Essex. The pointy hats are similar to other Russian bowmen but the long frock coat is not. Any ideas anybody?
