From RossM: 28mm Tafia Kingdoms Skirmishers 10 Points (11 points)

Time has moved quickly this month and there are a few things in the sidelines for submission shortly. 

When starting a new project, regardless of scale I like to put a few stands up that will enable me to complete a core unit or two in the early stages of painting that project. Light infantry and skirmishers are often good in that role and will feature in most versions of the finished project when used. 

Here is the first of several skirmisher units for the recently started x army in ADLG. 



Having used more "Christian" figures for this stand it allows further use of the figures in several different armies across the period. Great believer in getting the best use from a miniature. 




In terms of points, that's 

2 x 28mm infantry at 5 points each. Totalling a whopping 10 points. 

Cheers for now

I like your style Ross; develop a sensible plan, start with a ubiquitous unit useful in every list to get you off the mark (somehow I always leave psiloi types to last though) and then out yourself for starting a new army to generates a perceived social pressure for you to keep at it. Nice one!

Take a bonus point for your style and sense of noblesse :-)

  2. Great plan, let's see how it survives contact with the painting bench! Always like the El Cid era and your skirmishers look great.

    1. Ah, the dread contact with the painting bench scenario often leaves a project stalled but more on that soon. Thanks for the praise on the psiloi

  4. Great start Ross, and I like how you describe your plans...I do find having a few completed figures around seems to encourage more of them to appear!

  5. I love it - my first historical army was a Taifa Kingdoms force. In fact, I just got it out for the first time in a decade for a game of Midgard this past weekend.

    1. The Reconquista is one of my favourite periods for gaming. Midgard is very popular at the moment: still to try it.

  6. A great start to your new project Ross. I really like the groundwork. I trust that the rest of the force will be encouraged to arrive is due course.

  7. A nicely painted duo Ross, but I also like the landscaping on the base a lot!

    1. Thanks; I like to make the bases standout as much as the figures do.

  8. Nothing wrong with 2 figures as far as I think - will be useful and great painting and basing.
