I also had a very productive three months. Although my points total was my lowest since I first entered, as one of the 47 Ronin in AHPC 3, if you adjust for the slightly shorter duration it was my second highest score. Mind you, my highest score was last year when I didn't enter the bonus rounds. Could it be that we spend an inordinate amount of time painting our entries for those rounds that could be more productively spent on painting whole armies of figures?
Anyhoos, that's enough of the philosophical stuff, on with the pics.

| Everything I painted |
 |
| Half of my 6mm Rebs |
 |
| ...and the other half |
 |
| 15mm Korean Righteous Army and generals |
 |
| Those Nasty Nokians, aka the 15mm Crusties |
 |
| My theme round entries |
 |
| 28mm character figures |
 |
| 28mm civvies and "Bulls" for Salutesville |
 |
| 28mm cougars for Mexicagrave |
 |
| 28mm ghouls, Aztecs and wolves for Mexicagrave |
Anyway, I'd taken all of those pics before Curt announced the twist for these round-up posts. As I didn't want to take the pics all over again and in any case don't have the facility to include myself in the pics, I've decided to post the following pics which were taken last October when our resident mathemagician, the Reverend Miles "Fluffy" Reidy was over here in London.

My apologies for those collections of pixels. I always look crap in pics for some reason.
I hope to see you all (and many others) for AHPC7!
You did a tremendous job this year. Such variety in your work and all well executed. You contribute so much that the Challenge wouldn't be nearly as fun without you.
ReplyDeleteYou look just fine in those photo's btw. A damn sight prettier than those other two :0)
What?
DeleteAnne's right Ray - we're no Daisey's
Deletelol!
DeleteFabulous work Tamsin! I really enjoyed your Aztec/Incan take on the Frostgrave phenomena. Very creative AND you climbed your way into the top 5 which is no small feat. Well done!
ReplyDeleteSome fab entries Tamsin and atop 5 finish is nothing to sniff at?
ReplyDeleteGreat work this year cailin!
ReplyDeleteA great body of work, always impressed with your variety and quality of work
ReplyDeleteQuite the haul indeed Tamsin. Love the diversity but the massive 6mm Army blows me away. Cant wait to see them lined up against those Yankees from AHPC V!
ReplyDeleteTop work, Tamsin! The wee rebels are nice, but I really like your Mexi-Grave project and my cousins from south the Rio-Grand! ;)
ReplyDeleteIs it congradulations or condolences for standing so close to Ray? ;)
Great job Tamsin and why is Miles called Fluffy.
ReplyDeleteIt's a long story best read from the original:

Great stuff you edged past me on the last day for that top five spot, Congrats on that, I think the cougars are my favorite.
ReplyDeleteWell done all round Tamsin. I too like the Mexigrave theme best! And top five to boot.
ReplyDeleteGreat work Tamsin. The amount of stuff you manage to paint even at a supposed low ebb related to other challenges is tremendous!
ReplyDeletecracking stuff, I really like the diversity in scales and eras.
ReplyDeleteBrilliant collection Tamsin, very diverse and everything done in your usual very high standard!
ReplyDeletewell done Tamsin - funny felt to me like you knoeck loads out - i loved the Millsy bonus round - my favourite..just add a shovel next time
ReplyDeleteA great output Tamsin! Well done!

Awesome. A great collection of painted miniatures Tamsin. Top work and very productive. Very active on the comments as well with great encouragement. Cheers from here.
ReplyDeleteSmashing it again, Tamsin! Thanks for all your encouragement and kind words throughout the Challenge - I'll be there for the next one, hope you will too!
ReplyDeleteOutstanding work Tamsin. Both in quality and quantity. Your crusties really were a favourite of mine this year.
ReplyDeleteFantastic work.. can never understand how someone can paint so small a miniature though, and then so many pieces on top of it!
ReplyDelete@ Anne - thanks m'dear! Mind you it's hardly difficult to look pretty next to Ray! ;)
