From GillesW - Welcome to the jungle! (141 Points)

Are you ready for a mad minute?
As promised here is the 1st squad (under the command of Sergeant Dwayne Johnson).


The figures are from the USMC sprues of Warlord games,I tried to give them some life. Some close up ( perhaps too near!)







Flushed by the initial frenzy of the challenge I also painted some Essex Miniatures 15mm figures for my "Hungarian black army of Mathias Corvinus" Field of Glory Project, I needed them to try a first list last friday evening, so I painted them last wednesday and thursday in hurry. You can see the other figures on my blog, I 'll only present in the challenge the figures I do for it since the 5th of December.

A battle group of generic mercenary knights, as usual I have replaced their lead lances



...then a Battle Group of Szeklers (a random mix of Essex Miniatures Eastern range)



I return to my rowing seat, sorry to my painting table.

Be seeing you.....

From Curt:
Gilles you keep sneaking these under my radar! ;)   
Yes, you have been a very busy boy!  The marines look great but I'm particularly impressed with your 15mm cavalry - the mercenary knights look especially sharp (literally) with their striped lances. Great work!

  9. I like them all from the nice faded look on the marine fatigues to the colorful mercenaries. The details on the 15's are really nice and the extra work for the lances really paid off!
    I'd be happy to judge them closer if you wish, my address is....
    ;)

  12. Yeah, the faded fatigues really communicate a feeling of the tropical sun...which is most welcome where I am right about now. ;)

    But your 15mm blocks take the prize for me. Epic stuff.

  14. good job, but in the first case, it seems to me, should be made more diverse base, because it looks the same and all merges into one.
