shake up for the paints and brushes

Finally got off my rear echelon this week and started using the paints again. Bit of a shocker for the brushes and paints tho' - they must've thought they'd gone into hibernation for the winter. 

First paint went on some more Late Imperial Romans.
Legion archers at the front - ones on the right have their red tunics.  Legion and Auxilia in the middle - I still have to decide on shield colours. Then scruffy asiatic horse archer types at the back. I usually choose a colour 'theme' for my irregular troops, then do lots of variations on that. The guys on the right will be mainly yellows and reds, the guys on the left mainly greens with some reds. 
This pic is the other half of the paint tray. The painted guys in the middle were used as a bit of a reference on what I'd already done many years ago.  

Now there is a motive with all this, because I'm going to part with a few 15mm ancient armies. The fully painted armies will be first and the mostly painted (like the Romans) will be next, as soon as I can get them finished.

  1. Measuring fake IWC only 42mm by 9mm thick and carrying a water resistance of 100 meters, the new ’57 Edition Superocean Heritage watches fake rolex are probably best characterized as “skindivers” — sports watches that replica rolex don’t bear the traditional hallmarks of a “true” ISO 6425-rated dive watch (a fully indexed timing bezel, luminous running Rolex replica seconds counter, at least 200 meters of water resistance, etc.) — but where they lack in purpose-built capability, fake Panerai they more than make up for it in charm and island-vacation fake Franck Muller readiness.
