15mm "Chinese" Army Off EBay Part 3

Progress Update On The Chinese 3

The Lockdown means I have plenty of enforced at home time. So when I am not drinking a nice ice cold Vodka and Orange I have been working through Project Lead Mountain. This years main project is to complete the Chinese Mega Morph I have blogged about earlier this year. I plan to create a Sung, Sui, Tang and Yuan army morph collection. I think the Ming option might be a morph too far at this time.

This is the first major progress update I have managed to do. Taking figures off old tired bases consumed a lot of my time but having a lot of quite nicely painted figures to hand made it a lot easier than I had previously thought. 

This blog contains a progress report on 196 pre-painted infantry, 12 pre-painted cavalry and 158 newly painted infantry. I made up a total of 87 elements in all [354 infantry and 12 cavalry]. This has allowed me to produce the 36 missing Horde elements to use in the Sui Million Man Army which has a total of 60 Irr Hd O.

I will start with the pre-painted infantry.
