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.

  1. Pretty impressive effort, and yes, the cavalry look like Mike's Models to me too.

  2. Those Green clad Mikes Models Crossbowmen ended up being debased yesterday to turn them into four elements of Reg Bw I instead. Annoying mistake but it happens once in a while when you realise that you have too many of one trooptype but not enough of another similar one.
