Just a brief note and request to my friends around the blogosphere - I am having issues with the 'My Blog List' gadget on Blogger, specifically I am unable to add or remove any listings. Any solutions or hints? The usual searches for answers from Blogger itself are not helpful. I might need delete the gadget and rebuild the list.

After a confusing week of work, I was not able to get much done.
Here is the mostly finished base of skirmishers for the Spartan army. You can see the extras in the background; they will make up most of the next unit in time. Eight is the typical count in a pack of Xyston miniatures and I painted them all, not realizing that only 5 were needed. Oops.
The base is from Warbases - the order came in, quite quickly I might add - and it is coated with the following:
A thin layer of the Vallejo texture is applied. After it is dry, 24 hrs or so, a slightly diluted mix of Daler & Rowney Antelope Brown is brushed on.
But now, I am stuck.
The next step would be drybrushing to lighten the top, some flock and tufts added, then done. But, I am not certain what colors to use as I do not have a suitable table topping to play on. A good mat is the goal, so I will have to take a look around. At least the last steps are easy enough, but I want to make sure to match the base to the mat reasonably closely, just for my OCD tendencies!
