Another small update today. The second batch of armoured infantry is almost complete with just a few highlights needed before the transfers are applied. When the entire unit is completed then the basing will take place.
The first batch of six unarmoured infantry have finally had some paint applied (that is not undercoat!) and will soon be ready for washing. The militia/levies have had the bases touched up and sealed and, when dry, will be ready for the undercoat. The heavy cavalry have been put on the back burner for the moment due to game play reasons (as in they are not required at this moment).
Speaking of games, the figures that are currently being worked on are in preparation for a game of Dux Britianniarum. This requires (in terms of basic infantry) six commanipulares (the armoured infantry), twelve warriors (the unarmoured infantry) and eighteen levies (the militia/pedyt. The heroes/nobles I also have but they have not yet been started. The only problem I have is that a lack a suitable figure for a Dux or Comes, they all seem a little too action orientated rather than imperious looking. Footsore/Gripping Beast/Saxon Miniatures all do suitable figures but for the latter two I am loathe to mix ranges. I feel some conversion work may be required although I am rather unsure of what it is I want exactly.
