From MartijnN: Fighting Windmills (10mm ACW)(SuperHeroes)(103 points)

I am not really into superheroes. The Marvel universe and all associated superheroes does not, I fear, really appeal to me. What will not have helped is that my dad, the one time I brought home some comics borrowed from a friend, cast one look upon them and said "We don't read that trash in this house" and made me return them the following day...

In all honesty, I don't think I really suffered for it. Yes, I got the occasional glimpse of Superman, or the Hulk (Lou Ferrigno, of course), but it never really struck a cord. So coming up with a suitable hero for the Superheroes Studio was a bit of a struggle.

And then I thought, why not go for the anti-hero. So here he is, my dad would have approved of him, and his heroic struggle against windmills has gone down in languages across Europe: Don Quixote de la Mancha, accompanied by  his faithful servant, Sancho Panza. Surprisingly, I don't think many films have been made about him. This one, from Terry Gilliam, seems to be the most recent one.

And here is my hommage to the heroic hidalgo, on his knightly steed Rocinante, Sancho Panza at his side:

Once again, these are Iain Lovecraft figures, 3D printed.

Certainly no anti-heroes, although in some way, perhaps, fighting windmills nevertheless, are these 10mm Perrin ACW troops. This is the final Confederate brigade for my Champion Hill project; just a couple of Union brigades to go now. There is also an artillery battery and two generals. I will claim a squirrel for these.

For the Union, there are also two generals, Grant is to follow. And three artillery batteries.

Not much, after last week's rather rich harvest, but I'm glad I have kept up the momentum. Also, I passed my target last week, so the pressure (if there was ever any) is off. Here's my map:

Next stop? Don't know yet. I don't think I am quite ready for the Director's Chair yet, so I still have four studios to choose from. Hm....

As for points:

36 x 10mm foot @1 = 36

4 x 10mm artillery piece  @2 = 8

5x 10mm cavalry @3 (per the recent revision) = 15

2x 28mm mounted @ 10 = 20

SuperHeroes Studio bonus = 20

Grand total 99

Some very nice looking minis there, Martijn. The Don and his companions look amazing, and (while I am a big comic book fan), I think your justification of choosing a hero from classic literature rather than Marvel or DC is very appropriate. Well done. 

Also, according to the Spreadsheet of Doom, 10mm Artillery also got bumped up to 3 points from what I can see.
