I'm a batch painter and have taken 2w to do a batch of 40 but I'm experimenting with smaller batches to give me fewer reasons to not sit down and paint.

Mid Republican Roman legions in 15mm model form - work in progress

Mid Republican Roman legions in 15mm model form - work in progress

Sometimes when I'm focused on painting a unit I lose sight of the bigger picture. Mid Republicans still have a way to go but feels like I have enough for a decent #Wargaming battle now.

If you in the area on a Thu night then drop in, I'm sure they'll be delighted to see you! (although I'm new here so wouldn't know if you left under a cloud!)

So I got back from #Wargaming at Fiasco and set about finishing my latest Romans - but this time I took the plunge and added an extra painting step - which do you prefer?

Love the concept of leaving figures to mature before painting, makes perfect sense!

Thanks to Martin Stephenson for his advice, partially implemented on these Gauls for my Republican legion. I'll be braver next time! #Wargaming
