So I have been continuing the colonials and present to you some Mahdists and NW frontier types, including camels - for those of you not in on the joke it's a long running theme that somebody (usually DaveD) is painting bloody camels. Finally some Boers and a lonesome cowboy.
Black Tree Design Boers
Boer Field Gun and Crew - various manufacturers and a Col Bills mountain gun
Random Cowboy from a Northstar lucky bag
Perry Beja on Camels - told you there would be camels
Homemade figs. I cast the bodies from the swarf I collect (I know I collect the swarf - it's not the saddest thing I do) and added heads, arms and weapons from the bits box
Perry Plastics Mahdist types - I don't use the classic patched clothes and I can use them more widely than just the Sudan
Beja - Perry and a Northstar lucky bag
Old Glory Pathans
Perry Flag holders. At the moment I'm thinking of building a phalanx for use as more ancient figs.
Overall that's 68 infantry, 1 field gun and 6 cavalry. That should be 410 points unless Miles decides that making your own figures is worth a few more points. Oh to have such power.
Bye now
MilesR: Now that's a nice colonial themed points bomb- nice range of figures and periods 9I am partial to the Perry figures) but the Northstar cowboy really stands out to me. This is one of the first times I've seen home cast figures in a Challenge submission - now that is rocking it "Old School"
- Respect
home made figures... amazing stuff a great colonial paint bomb
ReplyDeleteCheers, I wish I was better at casting my own bodies and legs though. Have to hide some of the horrors behind clothes
DeleteI wish my on mojo was as good as your off mojo. Great stuff
ReplyDeleteBut you have a life now. Cheers
Deleteexcellent stuff. Thats no ordinary cowboy - its Doc Holliday from the Artisan range
ReplyDeleteCool isn't he. He came with Wild Bill for last year's Curtgeld. I'm catching you up, about time you went back to work
DeleteIncredible, even making your own figures. Now that is impressive.
ReplyDeleteThanks you very much, do like making my own figs
DeleteLovely mixed colonial bag Martin :)
ReplyDeleteCheers, nearly finished them
DeleteWow! You matched my whole challenge target score in just one post...
ReplyDeleteCheers. It's not about quantity or quality. it's about climbing the lead mountain
DeleteGood handmade figures! And a good idea to make them so.
ReplyDeleteAfrican fat men - this I have not seen! Great!
Thanks, there is always some fat bloke somewhere
DeleteGreat painting work! A lot of painting work, by the way.
ReplyDeleteCheers, a productive week
DeleteCasting your own figures!!! Excellent work Martin!!!
ReplyDeleteCheers, almost as much fun as blowing up a massive balloon
DeleteAwesome work Martin. Love the homecast stuff. And more cammels, brilliant!
ReplyDeleteCheers, shall make some more
DeleteIt a plague of camels around here!
ReplyDeleteNicely done Martin
Cheers, I've just bought some more
DeleteGreat looking bunch, so many points from you big hitters
ReplyDeleteIan
cheers, some times you just have to paint
DeleteGreat work all around Martin. I love the homecasts - I would not be allowed near molten metal in our house.
ReplyDeletecheers, I don't think I should be
ReplyDeleteThat's a points bomb and a half! Well done, Martin!
ReplyDeleteCheers mate
DeleteThat's some serious output. Well done!
ReplyDeletethanks
Deletegreat selection, there are always room for camels in the challenge and these ones are particularly nicely done.
ReplyDeleteTa, ordered more camels
DeleteA very strong entry. The Madhist chief with the raised sword looks so sinister! Good work all around, especially with the camel jockeys.
ReplyDeleteI didn't know swarf was a word - my learning for today!
learn something new everyday, I try to. cheers
DeleteYay, camels! Lots of colonials this year, good to see!
ReplyDeleteWonderful earthy tones!
ReplyDeleteBoth quality and quantity on show here, martin. I'm green with envy at your output!! Terrific stuff :-)
