A few more units to round out my ancients collection. First up, I reorganized my Republican Roman cavalry units to fit my CC:A basing style. This required me to paint a few more figs to get to the proper level.
I also finished two more units of Celtic cavalry to oppose them,
This leaves just a pack of Baccus' unarmored Celtic cavalry and one pack of Baccus Fanatics to finish and I will declare my Celts complete.
Finally, I finished my Sassanid Armored elephants.
These were a relief as they mean that I finally finished all of the Baccus minis I picked up form Scale Creep's big clearance sale from last Spring. There is always a certain sense of fulfillment I get when I paint the last mini from an order or a trade. A sense that the lead pile has perhaps diminished to a more manageable level. And then I do something stupid like order more stuff and the Sisyphean ordeal begins anew....
Nice looking minis. I too love to cross of figures from the list, especially if I can do it within a year of buying them

I get the same fulfillment upon completion but then I look over at the remaining pile of lead. Joy is fleeting.
ReplyDeleteThat's why I keep most of the unpainted figures in the Garage where I can't see them....
