I think a large part of my modelers block was the mould lines on the cavalry. I expected better from HaT. The foot are good though I would have preferred simpler poses with moulded-on spears and shields throughout, but I'm well aware I'd be in a minority on this. The riders are OK, just not particularly animated.
The other side to lack of progress is my new life as a Podcaster, but I think I'll achieve a better balance of hobby time soon.
