I prefer a modeler to have just one blog with labels for all the different subjects they work on as I find this easier then jumping around blogs to see everything they do.
I also find it's easier for myself as well in posting my material.
I understand why folks like to separate their blogs by subjects as I've been tempted myself,but going back to what I said I like viewing one blog with labels as it's easier and with this in mind I went with just one blog.It's just easier for both in my view.
What is your opinion?
Cheers

Here is my latest addition of some chariot runners and slingers using army painter.No fancy shields with these guys.Here you can see army painter as is without any fancy work to hide behind.
I'm not completely happy as I'm still learning to use army painter and I haven't quite got the mix right just yet,but it's coming along.I'm using a brush to put it on and perhaps I need to let it sit for a few seconds before wiping away the excess.
The nice thing is these guys painted up quick even with adding a quick highlight and that in itself is a motivating factor.
I like the fact that army painter is allowing me to get some armies painted up so I can concentrate on others with more detailed painting methods without feeling like I'm not getting anything done.:-)
Next up for the Trojan army will probably be some Sea Peoples.They have some fun color patterns that I'm looking forward to.

A twisted soul
This is my Druchii Anointed(Daemonic Elf) that leads my Dark Elven Cult of Slaanesh army I did a few years ago.It's actually a confrontation miniature,but I thought it fit the look I was going after.Confrontation has quite a few very nice miniatures and are enjoyable to paint up.I'll do more in the future.

General Greene
I spent some time thinking how I was going to portray General Nathanael Greene the C & C of the American forces at Guilford Courthouse.
A little about General Greene in that he started the war as a militia private and ended the war as possibly General Washington's best General in organization and strategic command decisions!
After serving some time with Washington,General Greene was asked to take command of the forces in the south opposite the very aggressive and capable British General Cornwallis after the humiliating performance of General Gates at Camden .
He quickly began reorganizing the shattered American forces and began a campaign of marches and counter marches and small conflicts to tire the enemy and buy himself some time.He also effectively destroyed Cornwallis light troops by releasing General Daniel Morgan to trap Tarleton and his light trops at the Cowpens.
This prompted a furious pursuit by Cornwallis to recover his troops captured at the Cowpens.Eventually after retreats and pursuits and counter pursuits the two forces clashed at Guilford Courthouse where Greene was defeated by Cornwallis,but inflicted such heavy causalities on the British so as to severely hamper them in the theater for the duration of the war.
Greene had a couple more larger engagements with the British at Hobkirks Hill(small defeat) and at Eutaw Springs where he has largely unlucky and was left with an inconclusive draw.
Although Greene was unable to defeat the British in open field he was however successful in winning the strategic battle by a policy of maneuver,bleeding the enemy in both battle and morale,and keeping his army intact and fighting.Eventually he ground the British forces down that led in a very large part to the surrender of Cornwallis at Yorktown.
After some thought I decided General Greene would have made some excellent use of scouts as this really helped him to stay a step ahead of the British.This gave me an idea to use the mounted riflemen from Perry and General Greene together as if they were advising him as to the location of various British forces.It also gave me the excuse I needed to include these wonderful mini's that normally are difficult to find a place for!Didn't I always say riflemen were my favorite.:-)
