Green Grows The... Shield?

I spent today slowly but methodically applying the first highlight to the various greens on the Maiden Guard, and plotting the way the army will develop over the next year of the Old World Escalation League I'm going to be playing in. It starts at 500 points - which is the force I'm working on - and then increases by 250 points each month. My next step will be to bring the two units of Maiden "Sea" Guard up to 15 strong each (well, one at 15 and one at 13 plus a battle standard bearer and the general) and add three more Sisters of Avelorn. It's not a lot of extra stuff, just another 13 models, but it will make the force a bit more resiliant and up the amount of shooting a bit too. 

Starting to take shape; the highlights on the greens and silver really makes a difference even with almost everything else in black!

I suspect that I should get the greens done by Boxing Day and might even start on the white clothes, bows, and spear hafts by then. My aim is to try to get them done and sorted before the 13th of January, which is (I think) the first day of the Escalation League.
