Very nice nosher mate, very nice

Looking really good Nosher!  Should be a lot of fun fielding that army.

[Nosher]

Normans next up. 

3x Cmd, 12x Milites (Mounted), 4x Milites (dismounted), 20x Spearmen, 6x Archers, 6x X Bow, 12x Skirmish Archers/X Bow, 8 x Breton Allied cavalry, 4x Breton Allied Skirmish Cavalry, 4 X French Allied Cavalry.

4x Mounted Milites done and 8 started. 16 spear started.

Got two weeks to go before family holiday kicks in and wargaming is banned. Got family funtcions this weekend and next so paiting time likely to be minimal between now and end of august.

Target date for this lot. Late September/Mid october.

[Nosher]

12 mounted milites down!

Think I'll take a slightly different tack with this lot and get all the cavalry finished first, then tackle the infantry

[nikharwood]

Keep going mate - you'll get these done before you scoot off for hols at this rate 

[Nosher]

4x Breton Allied Skirmish Cavalry & 4 X French Allied Cavalry polished off this afternoon. Aim is to get the remainder of the cavalry and the command stands done before I bugger off for the summer hols

Discussed the slight/remote/passing possibility of me taking a *few* figures away on holiday with SWMBO but it fell on deaf ears

Two can play that game. When she wants to window shop whilst away I'll have left my wallet at *home*

All the cavalry and command done ahead of schedule.

Will pick up on this one when I get back from the holiday - pics included (too wet to do any today as its pissing it down!)

[nikharwood]

Nicely done old boy - have a good break 

[Nosher]

Back off hols and all the usual issues getting in the way of motivation to get this lot finished

Work, real life, need to earn a wedge to pay for next wargaming project 

Anyway, took a slightly different route and played a smallish game with what I have managed to paint so far including a few units I still have left to paint to see if that would get the juices flowing and one game and 12 stands of archers later I have made another dent in this lot

Skirmishers and foot left to do - basing and flocking and varnishing and should have enough to do 1066

[Nosher]

No pics of game cos I broke the cardinal sin and fielded unpainted units

Shocker, nosher, shocker.

Fancy taking nekkid troops into battle....Now go paint 'em
