Good news, everyone: my COVID-19 swabs came back clear. I used my time in isolation to finish part of a project I started at the beginning of the Challenge: a Bretonnian Blood Bowl team. These are from Hungry Troll, and are a plasticky resin. They're more 35mm than 28mm, and have lovely details, particularly in the faces and heraldry. I really enjoyed doing my research!
Arthur, King of the Britons |
Sir Lancelot the Brave |
Sir Galahad the Pure |
Sir Bedevere |
Sir Robin The-Not-Quite-So-Brave-As-Sir-Lancelot |
They have some enemies:
The Black Knight |
"'Tis but a scratch." |
Ogre |
Enchanter |
These handy markers are white metal.
I didn't get to start the peasants and porter who go with them, unfortunately. But I did knock off two spaceships from PSC's Red Alert, which were missing or broken and were sent out to me by Lois from PSC.
Confederate destroyers |
So,
7x 35mm 35
1x 40mm ogre 7
3x ~15mm markers 6
2x destroyers 8 (based on last year's precedent)
Okay, so a mixed entry with stuff in a scale that doesn't fit one of the SOD (TM)'s categories. Tell you what, as the grail knights are between 28mm and 40mm, I'm going to score 3 of them as 40mm. that bumps you up to 62 points.
