My Celtic village is growing with the addition of two food storage sheds, one of which is slightly raised off the ground, although it doesn't show so much in the picture because the legs of the horses are in the way. The scene depicts two Celtic warriors leaving home for war and being waved goodbye by the lady of the house (who is standing in the doorway of the house if you're having trouble finding her).
Also, my Russian army of the 1600s now has a Sons of Boyars unit. These were formed by Ivan III (1462-1505), and as far as I can tell served as part of the army until Peter "The Great" reorganized the Russian army more along European lines during the Great Northern War (against Sweden) around 1705-ish.
It's a mad rush to get my Russians finished before the end of the year so I can start 2010 with a Sweden Vs Russia campaign from the early 1600s - "The Time of Troubles" which led to the Romanov family providing the Tsar (which they did until the 1917 Revolution).
Painted figure count now creeps over 9,870 - also pushing towards 10,000 before 2010! Just have to keep the momentum going!
