TYW German Catholics WIP

[Nosher]

Got these started soon after the Swedes were finished and now have two of four nine stand pike and shot tercio's completed with one more tercio almost done and one to do.

Two units of artillery, three units of cavalry, one of light horse, a musketcompany and three command stands to go.

No pics at this stage as the weather is bloody awful

I like 'em. I wish we were in striking distance of each other; my Turks would like to meet them.

First unit of 4 stands of Cuirassiers polished off tonight, one more to do, one of arquebusier and one of LH, then onto command and artillery.

Nice feeling to be on schedule, but also feeling guilty that those Saxons in my other painting diary are languishing in the bedroom... (and the Normans and the Vikings)

Some Polish Renaissance figures will also hopefully be hitting the doormat anyday soon which will probably put the Saxons even further behind

Whose daft idea was it to start a bloody painting dairy anyway

Yes, they will!  All cast up, just adding the bases, then over to Mr Postie!

Bugger... I have been rumbled

They say every cloud has a silver lining and today that has certainly been the case.

I have been busily driving around the county from one school to another dodging rain clouds trying to coach cricket. I get an early finish because its bucketing it down at my last school and when I get to the club the weathers no better and I have to cancel a crunch match with our biggest rivals...

I head off home and paint two more cavalry units! OK so the army wont be finished for a game tommorow evening, and a lovely email today notified me that re-inforcements are on route, but it looks like I might for once churn out two complete armies in under six weeks.

In the middle of the cricket season too!

Good effort mate

If the weather forecast is to be believed you're going to get plenty of time for painting this month

Dont get me wrong I love my hobby, but I love cricket far more
