Khamdrim Sky-Master's Battle Against the Grey [BATG 2022]

Always happy to see phalangites :slight_smile: As far as I know, the successor armies (which fought the Romans) were very similarly equipped to the Macedonian army under Alexander the Great. So no real historical inconsistencies on the Greek side here.

That is most excellent news! I honestly haven’t focused on reading on the Greek cities performance after 146, just cause of how much happens both to the west and east. Thanks for this nugget of information!

And with that, the 7th Hussars are ready for war! Here’s a few photos of these stylish cavalry. Amusingly enough, almost all of them look like some variation of Ron Swanson…

With them, the infantry finally have some cav support to ward off the Scots Greys

Adding yet another entry. Printed these off to try a new Greek Army (despite these being Trojans and Acheians, so not Greek, technically).

Here we have Achilles, Odysseus, Hector, and Paris.

+4-4=0, so here’s to net neutrality!

More cavalry has come to reinforce Marshal Ney’s charge! This time it’s the dragoons! In typical me fashion, I added more colors and details, down to the buttons. Some day I’ll actually get better at painting, and not just adding detail. But that is not this day.

I painted their epaulettes and lapels yellow instead of pink, since I believe I have a second box lying around somewhere so I’ll be able to make them pink too (my Slaanesh tendencies are coming out more and more).

Here they are in the army (the front row of infantry is hidden since I’m finally working on the basing for Black Powder army comps).

With that, it’s another -17 to the BATG

Felt like posting some slight advances and changes: the cavalry is finally starting to get properly based! I have decided on the base sizes (it was actually harder than expected, as well as than it should have been).

Sooner or later, all cav and infantry will be properly trudging along on some soft grass. And maybe in a while the artillery will join them (if I can find the damn boxes…)

Made a post for my Acolytes of Hashoot in my Lost Legions of Karak Vlag blog. Here are some spoilers

Count as another -5/6 (6 guys, but 5 cause of the filler base)

Added a small dent into the painted units (-6, so nothing special) as I painted some more of the guys I set myself out to do at the beginning of the year. These are the starting 6 heroes for Gloomhaven. I was hoping to get more, but schoolwork, actual work, and family just always seem to get in the way of gaming, so I haven’t been able to “unlock” the others quite yet …

First, sorry for the changes. I keep making the same mistakes over and over again. Moved this post to my army blog HERE

Come check out my recent exploration of rhinoplasty!!!

Last post of the year! Or first one of 2023, rather. Printed 29 gobbos and received one metal model, courtesy of @Admiral, bringing me down to -200, but still barely above that threshold! @BATG_Warriors Thank you all for a good year, filled with excellent painting jobs and motivation!
