Firstly, I've started a Medieval Irish army. This one is going to be a little bit personal for me, as in trying to trace my family tree I discovered that my family "started" in Ireland back around the mid-1200s, with a guy who for some reason broke away from the MacRagnall clan (modern day Reynolds family). This army is from right around that time, and so will represent my family's fighting forces when it is finished.
So far I've only got the light infantry (archers and javelin-armed skirmishers done - about 20 of each, although the two photos only show a few). I'll put them all on show when I've finished the full army.
Secondly, I've got a bit carried away with my Amazons, and now instead of just a small fighting force designed to "help out" my Hittites and other suitable armies, I've been building up the mounted wing of the force so they can be a stand-alone army in their own right. I've still got a handful of spots to fill - mainly officers - but they look quite a bit stronger now.
Thirdly, I'm working on building up an area of "Gothic ruins". So far, most of the ruins are Games Workshop fantasy buildings, but I have my eye on some Pegasus buildings which hopefully I will be able to get (and assemble) before the end of the year for inclusion in some Dark Ages and Medieval period battles.
The little guy climbing the steps to investigate the ruins (and the smoke coming out from above the dragon statues) is from Cesar's "Adventurers" set.
So, with these and a few other projects that I will be sharing shortly, I've got plenty on my plate.
