The Persians begin to march. . .

The Persian horde is starting to take shape. Persian levy infantry is 20 strong. Immortals and archers are assembled, primed and ready to be painted. Subjects (Indians, Ethiopians, & Syrians) are answering the Great King Xerxes' call to arms. . . .

Sunday March 16th and I am pleased. The first unit has been painted and dipped. Not beautiful but serviceable. . . Learning a bit about photography. Don't use a flash when you have dipped your army, makes em look horrible, look. . .












See? Sticky looking. Blech! But taking a photo of the same figures without the flash yields different results.

Much nicer. Also I have primed my first 8 Greeks. Look forward to painting them up and getting the images posted to the site. Tomorrow is the first day with the students. I had 20 or more students sign up and only have 8-10 open slots. That's a pleasant suprise.

More this week.
