Dragons for Mythic Asian HoTT

Just a couple of old dragons for my Japanese HoTT forces. Both are elemental dragons for water and wind. The water dragon needs re-basing ( they both do) and is an old Grenadier model I suspect.


The other is an old Ral Partha? celestial dragon, which really needs to be on a flying base of clouds. I've just found another in  the lead box which i may be able to paint up as an earth dragon. I also have a massive Imperial dragon from about twenty five years ago, again by Grenadier, but way beyond my financial means today (100 US dollars on Evilbay!! ).

GW 28mm Skeletons

These are my 'long in the tooth', plastic skellies. Had a few repairs to do after some pikes were damaged when they were too deep for the tray. On taking them out to repair them I dropped the box and damaged a couple more units. Nine bases so far, three more and I'll have an army. I found a small stack of metal skellies too, so they'll make up the rest of the army sometime.
 Auxillia and Blade 

Bows

Pike

General / Hero  Chariot (Knight) and Psiloi

Light Horse

Nessie ( the Behemoth)

There are a few more bases of blades and a command base to come along with a wight, some  more gracile Ral Partha knightly skeletons plus a huge  skeletal mammoth. Don't hold your breath though, they're not likely to be finished this side of 2018.

Sassanid Horde - Less substance - more colour!

Hi, These are my Sassanid Horde for DBx  from a stalled project which I feel the urge to restart instead of doing my essays / dishes /  day job.

Not sure whether 5 to a base is legal  but with the profusion of variants coming out ( DBMM , DBA 3.0 etc ) I can't be bothered to worry about it.

12 bases in all; great damage soak but not a great morale booster for the army.

New Kingdom Egyptian Raft Baggage

Sent an emergency email to Mick Yarrow Miniatures begging for a reed boat and crew for my NKE camp. Within 48 hrs I had this lovely little boat, 5 crew, 2 archers and an Ox! All for 2.50 plus post. Here's my camp , ready 'double quick'.


I'm saving the Ox and archers for a DBM baggage base, and I will be ordering enough reed boats to equip a DBM Egyptian navy :)

1/22a New Kingdom Egyptians

DBA 22a New Kingdom Egyptians

Here's my latest rush job, ready in 2 days for a competition at PAWS on Saturday 9th March 2013. I've not much chance of winning but it was good to be motivated to paint something. I'd like to add stripes to the tea towels and  maybe kohl to the eyes, but only if they win!



These are 15mm Lancashire figures; probably had these sitting around for 10 years or so and there's easily enough for a DBM army. Found a Kushite army too, 3 boxes of them. About time I got them painted. I'll be moving my DBx armies to a seperate site soon as I've got stacks to photo and upload.
