From: MartinC - 1st German Colonial Women's Rocket Corps (200 points)

I've found this years challenge a little bitty. I have finishing off odds and sods from the darkest recesses of the lead mountain. Most of these figures are there for a reason. I didn't want to paint them and so some of the painting has been a little perfunctory. This week has been similar.
First up the 2nd unit of Carthaginians. I've stalled painting these for ages but once I'd started they were fun to paint. These have white linothoraxes and some more hand painted shields, although the design is much simpler than the scorpions from last week - still authentic though

24 Victrix Citizen Infantry

The next unit though is squarely in the "these are really crappy figures, why am I wasting my time and paint on them". These are the last 8 Gauls from Wargames Factory and they are pretty shocking

Finally the eponymous Women's Rocket Corps. I have a significant female Geman colonial force now - sailors, and 2 units of askari. I'm eyeing up some camel corps from Hinterland but they aren't cheap. These are from Bad Squiddo from an American manufacturer whose name I've forgotten. These were also expensive  and a joy to paint. They are supposed to be British but fit with my German force

That is 36 x 28mm infantry = 180

Artillery piece = 15 (I think)

Gosh Martin, while I agree this Challenge lends itself to finishing those long started and left untended figures, heck that what I seem to be doing myself, your post has some real treasures in there. Those Carthaginians are great indeed and those hand painted shield will net you some bonus points as well. The Celts are...well they are Wargames Factory what do you expect? You've done what you can and they look good enough to me. The female
Rocket Corps are brilliant! I have quite some Hinterland figures and yes they are not cheap but sooooo cool and well manufactured, they are well worth it. 

Anyway great entry overall, Cheers Sander
