From AlanD - Boring Skirmishers for To the Strongest! (100 points)

Phew! It is a relief to get some figures painted after a very busy few weeks in the 1:1 scale world!

Happy New Year to everyone, and it is a pleasure to be back in your company for another year. Special thanks to Curt, as always, and to the Antipodean master minion Millsy.

As the title says, I've started off with some somewhat dull bases of skirmishers to flesh out my Roman Republican army for To The Strongest! I have come to love these rules over the past year, as a way of getting lots of toys on the table andd have a very fun game in a reasonable amount of time. Most of my hobby focus in 2023 was painting an army for Pompey the Great, to be pitted against Paul's Caesarians. The legionaries have been done, so I'm just finishing up the army with some Hellenistic cavalry and light troops.

The skirmishers here are from Relic Miniatures. They are quite nice, but definitely a bit spindly and undernourished looking next to the likes of Warlord or Foundry. Anyway, I didn't feel inclined to lavish too much time on them by doing mad things like paint shield designs, but they are done.

They are a new acquisition to Pompey's army, I recently acquired them to paint, and TTS! has been a newly acquired hobby focus, so I'm claiming 20 bonus points along with the 80 for 16 x 28mm figures.

From Millsy: Great to see to the Strongest! getting some traction down under Alan! I have a Numidian army ready and waiting to face your Romans when you are up for a game.

Your skirmishers are anything but boring mate, especially with the wonderful basing and range of tunic colours lifting them up. Keep em coming, I am keen to see what comes next! 100 well earned points.
