From RayR - Badger Special........ Paintbomb & Sandbag Alert (2400pts)


Nah not really!!!!! I just added on a few zero's for fun, but I had you going..............

So its only a mere 24 points for my last entry into this years Challenge.

Well done to Curt, don't know how you manage to do all this and find time to paint as well as eat? And a big fat well done to all my fellow contestants! Its been a blast!

So for my last entry, may I present 6 French Brigade leaders for my NYW French army. Three are Essex Miniatures and three are Donnington riders on Essex horses. They are based on for Beneath the Lily Banners rules.


Francois Louis, Prince of Conti



Louis-Charles d'Hautefort



duc de Roqualaure



Mareschal de Camp Montmorancy



Jean-Armand de Joyeuse, Marquis of Grondpre



Lt-Gen Feuquires


From Curt:

Haha! That was awesome Ray! You certainly had a few of us going, make no mistake - cheeky bugger.

These floppy-hatted fellows are lovely Ray. I particularly like the last fellow pointing to the distance - he looks like he should be in a painting by Diego Velazquez.

It's been great to have you with us again Mr. Rousell. I know your work situation does not allow you to be the Points Titan that you were a few years ago, but even with your more modest volume you still provide wonderful inspiration to us all (and a lot of laughs). 

See you next time then? :)

  4. Excellent work Ray - it's been great having you along again this year, mainly because of the distinct lack of sandbags! :)

    I'm guessing I'll see you at Salute. Is the big fella going to come back over for it?

  7. Too bad it couldn't have been 4200, just to make Dave D wet himself ;). Good crossing brushes with you again Ray, I still regret not being able to pop by when we were in England last year.

    Hopefully you'll be back next year, now that you got me hooked! Perhaps you'll have an easier go and we can drag Fran along too!
