As I am spending most of my time isolating in my room l brought my paints through-
I tried 28mm figures but was a tad tired for it so out came the 54mm and 60mm. I also did a few simple head swop conversions which worked well. I am trying to keep busy.
I’m doing away thanks. A tad under the weather with achy limbs and odd stuffy nose. I appreciated your kind comments very much.

The next thing to do is to choose which units to use as painting reference and flag information. The plan, as it stands, is to probably get these professionally painted. I need now to work on a back story for this Swedishesque Duchy, characters and diverse plans…
I am open to suggestions for the above names, backstory and characters as ever.
