For my first post in this year's challenge I went for a combination of two very separate periods. First up is a group of 12 Greek slingers. These are Victrix plastics and were dead easy to assemble and paint. I have them based up for Impetus/Sword & Spear/Hey Seize Her (Hail Caesar). They are part of an ongoing Carthaginian army that I started a year ago.
The second part of my submission is a small group of 8 World War 2 French partisans. These metal figures are the Group Franc pack from Crusader Miniatures. I can't say enough good things about Crusader figs. Just the right amount of detail and they're nice and hefty.
That should 20 28mm infantry for 100 points.

A great start to 2018 and your Challenge Scott, the Victrix slingers really look the part and I'm sure they'll give the Roman Velites a run for their money! I do like the splash of colour you've used on them too, it makes the figures pop!
Crusader do make some great figures that almost seem to paint themselves, these included. What I like about these is the complete opposite of the slingers, the absence of to much colour, making a very attractive drab appearance, only highlighted by the clever inclusion of the brick red bricks on the base.
Top work ol' chap!
As you've suggested I too make that a clean round 100 points!

Great work on two very different periods.
ReplyDeleteNice work Scott. Those slingers have done very dynamic poses.
ReplyDeleteGreat work mate, I like the basing on the partisans, simple but effective!
ReplyDeleteVery nice work Scott. Those French partisans are terrific.
ReplyDeleteNice work Scott. The slingers are very fine indeed. I like you colour choices.
ReplyDeleteI like the partisans!
ReplyDeleteYou've done these figures justice, very nice work!
ReplyDeleteBoth these groups look super. Well done Scott - great start to your challenge.
ReplyDeleteVery fine brushwork, Scott! The Victrix singers are some nice models, but I'm a bigger fan of the WW2 french. Nice variations in the uniforms on those fellows!
