For sale: Dailami (comments: No! Don't do it) - posted by Josh Barton, 14 July 2021

After a year without progress, and stalling on new projects until I get it done, I think it's time to admit defeat on the Dailami army.
I hope this is okay Vincent Cholewa but If anyone would like to buy it from me and pick up at Warlords, message me and give me a price 🙂

      Alastair Duncan normally I do, but these have been in a box for a year, and every time I think of starting a new army a voice in my head says 'finish the Dailami' and then I don't get anywhere!

        Josh Barton A year! My Feudal Spanish can now muster 400ap after over 4 years (the oldest email reference I can find is asking about crossbowmen figures in June 2017) but I suspect the first significant order was at least a year or two before that. I'm happy I finally have them done :^)

I started my Ancient Britons in about 2013, perhaps I should give up?

    I think this is a very sad and the wrong decision Josh.
    I got disheartened / fed up painting my Dacians. With a bit of advice from Peter, I gave it a break and painted something else. The break was easily 4 months. Finally, once I got my mojo back, i gave myself a target to get the army on the table for the Greytown Grandprix.
    The army is still not complete, i still have some Basternae to paint, but I have left it again and concentrating on other models.
    Your army is beautifully painted and looks absolutely great. It would be a real shame to flick it on after all the effort you have put in. I would just shelve it for a while and enjoy painting something else. Your motivation to paint a bit more of it will come back.
    Why not aim to finish 240ap and enter it into Recoil!? Plug plug.

    Exceptional painting, detail on the tunics is amazing. You can sell but also nothing wrong with shelving and revisiting. My Vikings were over 7 years from start to finish with much stop start etc....,

    My later crusaders have been stalled for about 18 months now. Perhaps O just need to watch Kingdom of Heaven again.
    Don’t give up, or work out another army that they can be an ally for

      Dirk Heinsius Any excuse for that movie! Despite it's mash up of history and the lump of wood playing Balian it is a very good film. If you havn't already watch the Director's cut, much longer but more coherent and strangely less Legolas focused.
