From JezT: Late Persian and More AVBCW - 95 & Car

Dear All

Final post and so pleased to put this up as it creates few firsts ! First time to break 500 points, first time to meet a target and first vehicle ever posted! Thanks everyone for a great challenge.

Anyway one army finished was Basic Impetus Later Persian posted earlier, however still had an odd command group so posted now for 20 points. The standard is a bit speculative …...

Next have a second batch of AVBCW - and here I was concentrating the first squad for a Bolt Action type game and decided to do an armed police type squad. First of all a group shot continuing with some extra figures for the squad and to also add in a Warlord Games Home guard vehicle. Then have some personalities. Then a further Wargames Foundry mounted figure for a mounted command and also done a dismounted figure. Lastly a couple of figures from Footsore, who could make a sniper option for the Bolt Action based game.

Think this is 35 points plus something for the vehicle?

Next up we have the second squad that I think are Renegade figures - I bought these second hand originally thinking of converting them to join the police. They are great figures but a bit stylistically different so decided to keep things simple and just paint them as territorial type regulars.

These are 8 figures so 40 points.

Altogether make this 95 points plus whatever the vehicle is worth?

On to next year - still got those landsknechts never got around to painting this time!

Happy gaming all! Cheers Jez

A fantastic closing post, Jez, with a trio of brilliant 'firsts' for you - congratulations! Though perhaps speculative, that Persian command stand is wonderfully colourful and dynamic. Also, for your first vehicle, I have to say that you've done a cracking job on that improvised armoured car. What a unique bit of kit!

As you say this lot puts you handily over your 500 point target with room to spare. Well done Jez! Now, I look forward to seeing those Landsknechts the next time we roll out. :)
