I had wanted to do an Egyptian army for many years, but my friend wanted to do it, so I started with the Assyrians first. 20 years later - he still hadn't painted a single figure, so when he moved away I bought the OG figures a few years ago, and painted them earlier this year. Now I want more, heh!Gonsalvohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16531623280789478092noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9170582445870210697.post-67120192089708483842013-11-09T09:21:44.601-05:002013-11-09T09:21:44.601-05:00Thanks, Jon.
