I've now textured the bases of the second Beja unit of sixteen figures, then given them an overall basecoat of Halfords Camouflage Matt Brown, ready for painting. I was able to get up to Halfords today for the first time since lockdown, so bought another two cans of the stuff, which I can now use on the other half of the army.
I have one more spear and sword armed unit to complete but I'm thinking of making the last unit of sixteen entirely rifle armed, although the individual figures will be sprinkled into the other three units rather than forming a discrete element. I have enough metal and plastic figures to do this, so it will not only be a refreshing change from gluing bits together but also add some variety to the whole ensemble.
I thought I'd also use some of the leftover plastic figures to make a small selection of command figures to use as leaders for my various units, giving them a bit more of a personal identity. This should be fun and in the spirit of the rules, where leaders are a key element of the game and add some characterisation to the scenarios, which I think is a really nice touch.
