Hi,
Finally I managed to complete my first unit for EagleRampant - a unit of 6 Roman Velites.
I still feel the aftermaths of my spine operation and I am not able to sit for a long time. So the figures took a long time to be finished. Furthermore my eyelight is getting worse and also the motor skills of my right hand is making problems actually. It is a real shit getting old. But that´s what my parents always told me and I didn´t believe this. They were right.
Saying this, the unit is not painted in the style or quality I normally did on figures in former times. But remembering the huge number of figures I will have to paint for this project it works fine and the figures are still done in a good standard for wargaming.
I also decided to create some unit cards for a better gaming. Normally you build an army list and have to look at the list concerning the units. Maybe it is better to use single unit cards with all features of the specific unit on it. So when combining your army you only have to pick up the cards and lay them next to the gaming board instead of copying the values on a greater sheet of paper. There are also pictures on these cards helping to identity the units. We will see how useful this will be within the first few games.
Hope to be able to finish the next unit soon.
Cheers
Mike
