Again, two miniatures lying on the desk, I had to finish them before moving to something else!
And the resulting regiment of 12 archers:

Done. Again. Pushing the spearmen to 24 means that I'll probably add 2 bowmen to have a 12 archers regiment.
So happy to be done with spearmen! 😂
I couldn't move to the next project until I painted the last models lying on my desk.
So, here they are, two classic spearmen (with head swaps), one modified halberdier (spear and man heads replaced), and the drummer, protected by his personal bodyguard, an old Marauder Miniatures reference.
Since these guys are not supposed to be on the front rank (except the musician of course), I have used more black than white on them, quicker and easier to paint.
And the whole lot:
Finally! I can't wait to paint something else than feathers on shields 😆
I wish I was better at painting beards...
And I should probably paint an additional quartet to align 6x4 spearmen.
Always a pain to reach 20 models, and consider a core regiment playable. Well, milestone reached, I can move on to my next unit 😜... unless I paint 4 more?
In order of appearance, the champion, a converted gunman, a converted halberdier, and another spearman with head swap.
And the four aligned!
The same four models, slightly converted, and painted in the usual colour scheme, except that I have forgotten the recipe used on the bones of the previous batch. This time, I'll log things properly. So, for my now 'greyish' skulls:
We're close to the end of this regiment!
More bowmen, not exactly fun to paint (blame my colour scheme). The death crier of the regiment brought a welcome variation, even if I had to paint this damn' skull three times to get a satisfying result. Anyway, one regiment done.
And the regiment completed:
Slowly recovering my left hand, I'm working on a second unit, the archers of the White Lady.
Last year, I had already painted two bowmen to prepare the colour scheme of the army. Here are 4 additional shooters.
And the first rank complete.
