From PeterB: More Aussies and more Second Edition plus the boat (87 points)

My other painting challenge continues as well. For February I kept it simple by painting a couple of transport and a Mortar team.

I foolishly forgot to write down my paint recipe for these. Luckily a bit of looking back over my test photos I managed to work it out. I wrote it down this time. 

Then back to the library, last time I was in the Nature stacks. So, across to the Art stacks. What better than the native art of the humble Space Ork. 

I have been enjoying sticking back banners on my 2nd Edition project with the help of some home printing. This time though, I thought I would have a go at painting one myself.

I spent most of the week on just this one model. Once again trying to recreate a second edition look. The trickiest was the checks on the shoulder pads, although by the time I had finished them I was actually quite enjoying the challenge.

My 2nd edition Orks now have a proper leader.

Back across to the centre section.  I have one stack left to tick off. I have been avoiding this one, but whilst hunting for old Space Marine models I found a boat. This is from Cruel Seas, although I am not sure what boat it is.

This does hopefully give me the Marine category.

The scores

2 locations. 2 x 20 = 40pts

3 x 20mm infantry. 3 x 4 = 12pts

2 x 20mm vehicles. 2 x 15 = 30pts

1 x 28mm infantry = 5pts

1 1/300 scale boat? (Not sure on the points for this?) = 6 pts

Total = 87pts (plus the boat.)

 

TOTAL = 93 pts.

 

 Sylvain: Some crazy Aussies, a savage Ork and a slick boat. All your miniatures are nicely painted and there is a nice variety of them. I checked the Challenge precedents for 1/300 boats and 6 points seems right. A very nice miniature harvest for you!
