Terrible photos but I'm overdue posting an update. The new sub-unit is the blue-themed contingent in the above keil, above; 32 Freiburgers. The super flag is from Flags of War. The minis were mostly painted or heavily overpainted by me (!), but there are a few of David Imrie's in the front rank and some of Shaun McTague's in there, too.
Above is the first keil, and below, the second. I now have eight of the 32-man "strips" based (but not grouted), three more out with painter chums, and one more here, ready to repaint/finish, which I'll probably tackle next. But I will need to prepare another 192 minis, at some stage. Gulp. Still, though, I'm almost half way there with the project.
Another lovely mob of Swiss!

Thanks chaps! Steady progress.
ReplyDeleteOne of the things I like about your own special brand of madness is the real sense of weight your pike blocks evoke. Brilliant stuff mate!
ReplyDeleteInspirational, Simon.
ReplyDeleteLooking super - a huge project, but... at least they aren't Landsknechts! :-)
ReplyDeleteVery cool, great work!
ReplyDeleteThey are coming on a pace. They will look amazing when you have them all done.
