From JonathanO: Invasion! Docherty & Millsy to the rescue (46 points)

After a scenic balloon ride to Fran's Fjord, I find that Major Docherty and Corporal Mills are having another adventure.  The Martian invasion has begun and a scout tripod has been seen in their sector.  Our heroes investigate and are determined to take out the scout quickly - before it communicates for reinforcements.

"There it is, sir!"

"It's a bit larger than I expected!"

"He's too slow, now we've got him!"

Tamsin was right - one more post from me before the end of this Challenge.  Well at least I made a trip across Challenge Island.  Fran wanted a 15mm Sci-Fi or Imagination submission.  The tripod model (almost 12cm high) was kindly given to me by Scott from his All Quiet on the Martian Front project spares - Thanks Scott!  The cavalry are from Essex Miniatures.

For points that should be 2 cavalry at 4 each and a 15mm "vehicle" at 8 points. Plus the Fran's Fjord bonus of 30 points for a 46 point total.

I am sorry that you won't get to see the rest of my in progress figures that did not get completed in time.  I have lots to work on during the scary times of isolation ahead.

Thanks to Curt, Sarah, all the Minions and fellow Challengers - take care everyone!

Great work on these 15s Jonathan! Dave and Millsy at first looked happy and carefree, but then I scrolled down and saw the Tripod with its whipping tentacles. Eeek! I really like the red you went with for it - very creepy (though I will forever maintain that it would look far menacing with its head reversed to the 'blank' side). Still, it's a cracking 'miniature' and I'm sure Dave and Millsy will preserver over the Martian invader.

It was a pleasure having you will us again, Jonathan. Keep well and we'll see you in the Challenge mosh pit next winter.
