I've got a WAB (Warhammer Ancient Battles in the event no one remembers!) tournament coming up in September and needed to get an army on the table for the event. Rather than (typically!) forking out for new miniatures I made the decision to resurrect my Classical-Nanda/Mauryan army. More...

Painting time has been slim on the ground of late and varnishing conditions much less so! It's actually rained for more "40 days and 40 nights!". ) One could not make it up. I did manage to get the back rank of my Late Roman Cataphracts finished which, given that I have to spray the last few...
