I'm surprised they count like that. I thought is was:
"As many days as there are threads on that wicked miss Thomas' shawl"
"As many teaspoons as there are apple trees outside the chapel"
"As many days as that Mr Jones the shepherd has girlfriends"

A mass of 1880'sEgyptian infantry due to having been inveigled into a game of Men Who Would Be Kings a couple of weeks back. How can anything that simple looking take so long?

I've finally broken my present painting funk! I've done nothing done since August - I blame the end of the LAOW painting challenge! It actually worked in getting me to paint.
Got some AB 15mm Duchy of Warsaw artillery done and now got a French Chasseur a Cheval regiment under the brush. We're planning to finally do Aspern-Essling in the New Year, so once again, I've got an objective to paint towards - I'm always FAR more productive when working to a deadline.
On my 'to do' list for the game are:
2x French Chasseur a Cheval regiments (16 figures each)
2x French Young Guard regiments (24 figures each)
4x bases of French Cuirassiers to beef up my existing 12-figure regiments (4 figures each)
1x French Legere regiment (28 figures)
1x French Corps commander (3 figures)
1x Austrian infantry regiment (24 figures)
2x Austrian Grenadier brigades (24 figures each)
1x Austrian Chevauxleger regiment (12 figures)
1x Austrian Freikorps regiment (16 figures)
8x Austrian Cavalry batteries (24 figures & 8 guns)
That should keep me busy up until the end of January!
Once that lot's done, I'm never going to look at another Austrian! I think it'll be 1813 and finally completing the two Polish corps for Leipzig and maybe do my first Russians in about 25 years.
Flaming 'eck!

What scale would that be? I'd like to do something like Tel el Kebir in 10mm. So far I have one Egyptian unit done.

Sorry Iain they are in 25mm. Going for an Egyptian army for MWWBK. Thank God the other guy has Mahdists by the bucketload.

P.S. Don't tell LT as I swore off Sudan about 20 years ago.

We'll keep that between the two of us then.
Are you still churning out top notch armies at an alarming rate?

NO!
You have an Egyptian Army for Sharpe Practice, and you may be adding a few odds and sods
stopping when you have more Egyptians than Egypt

First airborne test figures are finished bar badges and basing.
Quite happy with them, they look nice in the flesh.
If the colours are wrong it’s my bad - I struggle with greens.
