[Image]Terrible photos but I'm overdue posting an update. The new sub-unit is the blue-themed contingent in the above keil, above; 32 Freiburgers. The super flag is from Flags of War. The minis were mostly painted or heavily overpainted by me (!), but there are a few of David Imrie's in the front rank and some of Shaun McTague's in there, too.[Image] Above is the first keil, and below, the second. I now have eight of the 32-man "strips" based (but not grouted), three more out with painter chums, and one more here, ready to repaint/finish, which I'll probably tackle next. But I will need to prepare another 192 minis, at some stage. Gulp. Still, though, I'm almost half way there with the project.[Image] In other news, I've published new versions of the Ancient and Medieval army list books for To the Strongest! with new lists, edits, and tons more background material- you can find them here.

Thanks chaps! Steady progress.

One of the things I like about your own special brand of madness is the real sense of weight your pike blocks evoke. Brilliant stuff mate!

Looking super - a huge project, but... at least they aren't Landsknechts! :-)

They are coming on a pace. They will look amazing when you have them all done.
