From SanderS: "A Romance of sorts" (30 points)

 Hoi,

So there's a surprise, I didn't plan on painting this vignette at all anytime soon, specially not today, but I found myself with some spare time and while rummaging through the unpainted leadpile I stumbled along this pair. 

On First sight this might not look very romantic, usually when we think about romance we imagine handsome young(ish) people having steaming romantic adventures of all sorts. But if I really think about what real love is, that's not it. I feel that real love is about commitment, acceptance and giving and taking. Personally I have had the enormous good fortune to marry a girl that is tolerating, perhaps even supportive of all my hobby endeavours and quirks, and I cannot say how happy this makes me. Granted it does mean I have to be supportive about 1000m2 meters of backyard and hedges, 5 chickens, 2 rabbits and a dog (yes since 5 months we have a Paint-Support-Puppy too!). That said I found this couple of Indian people from the Indian Mutiny range I have still waiting completion. 

I imagine this woman supporting her man in his fight to rid the country of the foreign oppressors, even in defeat. That my friends is true love! Not gallavanting off in search of treasure and jewels (Romancing the Stone or  Jewel of the Nile anyone?), no; real life persons sticking by each other through the bad times as well as the good! I also included a picture of the pup, officially named Spot by his breeder, but more commonly known as Fluffy MacFluffson by us. He's an Australian Shepperd if someone is wondering. 

So I gather these two 28mm figures as well as the location bonus should be worth another 30 points. Now I am off to paint some more GW stuff.

Cheers Sander

Sylvain: Ah, love... You prove with your post that French do not have the monopoly on this noble sentiment. Your vignette is simple yet powerful. A well deserve location bonus for you. And congratulations on your new furry companion!
