Second game against John Hickman using Early Achaemenid Persian. I’m deploying narrowly between the Nile and a village to see what he has…

First contact on turn two.

Against Steve Bainbridge using Early Carthaginian. Photo on turn two. The Libyans are going for it – the Sacred Band are running.

And here is the army packed and ready…

I’m quite pleased with the basing. I was running out of old Games Workshop sand (and the new sand is not the same, being sand rather than fine clay) so I didn’t want to run out halfway through. So this is resin from a Brita water filter glued on with PVA glue and then painted with desert sand and dry brushed with bleached bone. The scorched grass clumps add a bit of interest.

Right, the army is based and painted, terrain is selected (if not yet packed) and army list is printed twice. Just need to check that I have my weather reference sheet.
