On a Lighter Note.

 On a lighter note from griping I found this Hinchliffe set in my scrap box. I think I bought him about ten years ago in Scotland. Unfortunately there was no dais but the King of Kings is perfect as my C in C for Sword and Spear. Yes he is a bit crudely painted but the figures are well over thirty years old and Im even older.

 Two Persian sub generals to prove I actually own some new figures these are from the Mortal Gods range, in all their 32mm glory.
 Another couple from another scrap box and stored for a rainy day as it were.I haven't a clue who made these figures but they are very good sculpts and a pleasure to paint.


 And finally a couple of Garrison goodies that were spares from the couple of foot regiments that Rob Young very kindly cast up for me. So a couple of foot generals for Pike and Shotte.
To be honest I haven't just painted these few figures but the remainder are figures that belong in larger units yet to be completed fully.
 So I am still painting albeit a tad slower because of the weather and the lock-down which has become tedious to say the least.

    1. Since the madness started Ive found myself regressing in my choice of wargaming figures for my units.I think its a safety issue or something too deep to understand.

    1. Thanks Johnathan, I nearly chose the old Hinchliffe range for the Persians but luckily the first of the plastic Persian figures were released. I still have a hankering for the Hinchliffe range though.

    1. So right David. One has to be of a certain mentality to handle the tedium. You can only dig so many holes and pull so many weeds before you get sick.

    1. They are indeed Iain, I wish I knew who had made them because they are really well sculpted.

    1. Sometimes less is more as the cliche goes. The variety helps sometimes.
