These are the last of figures, I had prepped for last years Challenge. First up we have Holmes and Watson. The Holmes figure is pretty traditional but the Watson figure has a lot of strange equipment. Something to do with the Empire of the Dead ruleset, I presume, as the the figures are from Westwind.
Next up we have an Imam from Gripping Beast, I must of bought this for my SAGA Musselman warband. I like SAGA, but it has been difficult to get off the ground here in Boston. If I remember correctly my friend Nico in Montreal put together a Frankish warband, but we have had little opportunity to get together over the last year.
Well that clears the table for what I have prepared for this year's challenge. This includes some 18mm AB Napoleonics, 20mm Japanese and USMC forces for Chain of Command, a somewhat unusual warband for SAGA (can anyone guess) and maybe some Frostgrave figures (not really sure about the game yet, but I like the figures).
Nice looking 'dregs' John! As you say, Holmes looks great but Watson seems a bit bogged-down with a bewildering assortment of accouterments. I guess being Holmes' 'caddy' comes with the job.
I've always liked the elegant simplicity of that Imam figure and you've done a nice job on him.These three figures will give you 15 points. Good work, now you can get out of the blocks with your new stuff!
Nice work on the imam, the simplicity of the model does require some nice highlighting. Watson and Holmes are always welcome, the empire of the sea range has a nice mix of figures.
ReplyDeleteThe Baker Street boys are out in force! Spiffing!
ReplyDeleteWatson is simply prepared for any and every conceivable scenario, as well he should be. Lovely brushwork John...
ReplyDeleteThat's a curious mix of miniatures, all beautifully painted though.
ReplyDeletenicely done!
ReplyDeleteNice work John :)
ReplyDeleteNice work John
ReplyDeleteNice figures John, I especially like the indigo on the Iman (a favourite figure in my El Cid collection). For a moment I that you might be doing Holmes in the Sudan to. Rescue Gordon or something..
ReplyDeleteCheers, PD
Nice little group! Watson does seem a bit put upon! ;)
ReplyDeleteGood job getting these done. I should probably try to get to some of the things I left out of last years challenge as well. Come to think of it, I think the goblins may have been. It's hard to say.
