Semi Historical Chinese HotT army complete

Here is the completed army (well, there's still the stronghold to construct, but I'm 'notoriously bad' at getting those built in a timely manner). The army has been painted to play standard 24 point HotT games, with a few options.

The full host of available elements is:

2 x Dragons
1 x Hero (in chariot)
2 x knights (chariots)
1 x Paladin
1 x Horde
3 x Blade
2 x Spear
2 x Shooters
The full selection

The two Dragons

Hero, with Knights in the background

Shooters

Blade and Spear

Paladin, and Horde

I originally conceived the army as one with two dragons (because I had two dragons, and none of my other HotT armies has that option). I try to make each HotT army with a different composition (sometimes the differences are subtle). However two dragons will be a hard option to win with, especially if you never throw a 6 on your PIP dice. So I figured that a good solid Blade and Spear core to the army would help its survivability. The other options mean that the army can also be played with only one dragon.

We'll see how this one plays.

That's it... all of the available Middle East troops not only painted and based, but now (after a long hiatus) with base labels complete...
