I have four stands of knights nearly completed - I'll finish up the shields tonight and get them based tomorrow. I will then have a complete Norman army! <br /><br />I may not have ALL options, though. I know I don't have the two Cavalry options, but I will have enough Knights and the Light Horse option and the Bow and Spear... but not the Psiloi... and that may have to stay that way for a bit...timhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09928949644765765070noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9140646711960604590.post-87505719604153577652009-10-30T12:02:39.877-07:002009-10-30T12:02:39.877-07:00Something you're looking for, Bob?
I think th...Something you're looking for, Bob?<br /><br />I think the next block of stuff to trade away will be the rest of the 15mm WW2 stuff... which I'm not even taking stock of at the moment....<br /><br />Then again, all this stock-taking has caused me to start thinking about reorganization of the armies. For example - I have a pretty decent <a href="http://saskminigamer.blogspot.com/2009/02/hott-elves.html" rel="nofollow">Elf HOTT army</a> (almost 40AP - lots of options...). I have twice as many again unpainted stuff... so Should I organize second and third Elf HOTT armies to eventually paint... or should I start getting rid of some and not even waste my time painting them....?timhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09928949644765765070noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9140646711960604590.post-5990757010658623162009-10-30T11:52:14.572-07:002009-10-30T11:52:14.572-07:00Paint first.

I mean, I knew it was all there, and that there was a LOT of it, but to look at the actual numbers... Oi!? It was a little startling to discover I have over a thousand unpainted fantasy figures.... and that's just the fantasy ones...<br /><br />I've been working through the historical stuff starting with ancients and working up through the dark ages and on to the Renaissance... Which was also a little demoralizing (since I JUST BOUGHT a few hundred ancients during the RAFM sale...). Hopefully as I get towards teh 20th centruy stuff the percentage of unpainted stuff will go down a bit as I have a lot higher portion of my modernish stuff complete.<br /><br />I am torn as to whether I should finish off the stock-taking or finish off the Normans. I could probably do one by the weekend, but not likely both...timhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09928949644765765070noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9140646711960604590.post-63131536076677813042009-10-29T10:13:08.868-07:002009-10-29T10:13:08.868-07:00Woo-hoo!

That is a good deal though, especially considering the price difference. I'm looking forward to seeing those come together for sure!<br /><br />n.Neldorethhttp://www.hourofwolves.orgnoreply@blogger.com
