The project continues.

 In between bouts of Bronchitis, etc I have still managed to get some painting done. In this case it is my Spanish heavy cavalry. The Spanish cavalry was not as heavily armoured as their French counterparts, and tended not to use bards. As a consequence I've used unbarded horses to emphasize this. Clearly I was in a Red/Yellow mood during their painting but it helps identify their Spanish connections. Standards are in the main by Adolfos Ramos, with a couple of Pete's Flags thrown in.

 All my pike blocks have their own sub unit of missile troops, this is the latest completed unit for my Swiss. I checked just how many Swiss I had, and I realise that I do have a large number, ie 4 blocks of pike plus lights, which is quite enough really. At least I thought so until I found! a box of unpainted Swiss pike. So it would be churlish not to paint them as well, they can always be the lesser effective Grison Swiss.  

My second Swiss pike block, done!

Due to the current Armageddon type weather I have managed to get on with some painting instead of venturing outside. What I try to do is flit between projects and periods, I find this keeps my interest pretty high. I also try to slip in a command base or interest base to also keep me, well,  interested. Anyway, I have now completed my second Swiss regiment with bear. I know it seems daft to have two bears in my regiments, but they are just too nice not to be included.
 I find that painting Perry figures is a doddle really, as they are so well designed. Granted the castings do need a bit clean up, but I especially enjoy the facial detail on their ranges.
 The little interest base is an old plastic Warhammer chap that was too nice to discard.
