Here's a unit I finished last week. They are later Thessalian cavalry in a rhomboid formation, cantering across the Boeotian plain. Mate Nick Speller painted 6 of these Foundry Miniatures, and I painted 3 more to match, shield transfers, basing etc.

Thessalians often fought in a manoeuvrable rhomboid formation, that could easily change direction through 90 or 180 degrees. Below, here they are brigaded with my previously-painted Thessalians, who will shortly be re-based in the same style. They'll mostly serve with my Ptolemaic army.

In terms of 2014, I hesitate to plan too far ahead, for as they say "no battle plan survives contact with the enemy". However, here's the first seven months loosely sketched out.
January
Finish swan-necked trade ship “Ceres”
Finish and base a final unit of Late Romans
Finish and base two units of Shaun’s Goths
Finish two elements of Impetus-based Roman cavalry
Buy and build 5 large gaming boards
February to April
Paint 100 EI Roman
Legionaries, finish and re-base 100 other EI Roman Legionaries
Finish and Base 12 British Auxiliary cavalry
Paint and base 6 Auxiliary cavalry
Finish and base remainder of the Impetus EIRs.
May
Pontoon Bridge and other terrain for possible Partizan game
June to July
Finish and base 200 more phalangites for possible Other Partizan game, and the Southern Autumn shows
In terms of resolutions, this year I only have one, which is to finish play-testing and publish my rules!
