Here is this
month’s entry. No story this month as both units were detailed in my first Helblitzen post, just a short explanation. Some of you may
have wondered why there are no banners in the army. I will add the banners last
along with the shields, where needed. This isn’t done out of a sense of
dramatic reveal but out of tradition. I’ve always painted the shields and
banners last to coordinate them to tie the army together…and because I
procrastinate painting them.
As I mentioned in
the first month this is the first half of a 3000 point army. The required troop
choices, or State troops wear the white and yellow livery of Solland. The
second half of the army will consist of militia and other raised troops. They
are provided with a shield painted in the Solland colours and are equipped with
whatever they can get their hands on.
Nicely tied together units. Great work!
ReplyDeleteGood idea to do the shields and banners last!
