From AlanD - The Last Post (87 points)

I think I've done it.

Terrible photos sorry, but here's a platoon of Volkssturm and my Curtgeld, which should get me over the line of 1500 points.

A joke I've been working on: When Boromir questioned the wisdom of going to Mordor, is it because he was worried the journey would be Orcward? You're welcome.

This is a model of the Orc captain Wossisname holding Frodo's mithril shirt. I didn't have anything to paint for Curt, so I dropped into the local Warhammer shop. They didn't have any LotR figures that didn't come with about 150 mates and a massive pricetag, but the bloke who worked there - who was strangely lacking in visible tattoos or piercings for a GW employee - very kindly gave me this figure from his own stash. I'm going to paint something for him in return.

I think the Curtgeld is worth 25 points? Add to this 62 points for 31 Volkssturm figures, and that's 87 points. Thank you to everyone for a great Challenge, to the tireless minions, and most of all to Curt for making this madness possible.

Dux actual out.

TamsinP:

It does indeed tip you over your 1500 points target! Very nice work on the Volksturm and the Orc captain (whose name I can't remember either).

That was very generous of the GW employee. Any idea what you'll be painting up for him?
