Hoi,
Last week I missed my posting window because I was busy painting up this lot! We'll start off with some more Big Stompy Robots for the Side Duel okay? As I really love Battletech I have quite a few different factions. One of those is my FedCom Aragon Borderers regiment. The colour scheme for these involves a lot of blue and to make it a bit more interesting I included some white panels.
Next up are some of my 1:72 plastics. These are early Napoleonic Saxons in their spiffing white uniforms. I painted up a brigade as that's pretty much all the Saxon infantry I have to compliment my early war Prussian army.
Points wise this is rather a nice amount for the leaderboard: there's the 8 mechs at 5 points each counting up to 40 points. The 3 regiments of 24 figures each in 20mm/ 1:72 is 288 points unless I am mistaken, which makes the total a whopping 328 points this week. Pretty much the closest I will be getting to a points bomb this Challenge I guess. Off to painting contributions for the circles of Hell now!
Cheers everyone!

Holy smokes, this is quite the bomb, Sander! I always enjoy your Battletech entries as they are so wonderfully clean and colourful. I really like the saturated blue you've used and I think your choice of a few white contrasting armoured panels is spot-on. They look terrific. The same goes for your Napoleonic Saxons. Very spiffing and tidy work here. I love the early war uniforms with the bicorne - everything is better with a bicorne, I say. The only thing better is a czapska, but I digress.
328 points? Lets round it up to 330 to include the brave banners (and because it rolls off the tongue better).

Hoi Curt, thanks heaps for the kind words and extra points, do give Huck a big hug from me!

DeleteThat’s a huge output Sander! The blue rompy stompy robots are great, but really like seeing those early war Saxons
ReplyDeleteCheers Peter!
DeleteLove the classic mechs. Nice crisp painting.
ReplyDeleteThey are almost all new plastics from the Clan kicksrarter and two resin 3d prints would you believe?!
DeleteNice work there!
ReplyDeleteThanks heaps!
DeleteThose robots are great (that last photo makes me think the Daltons are inside), but the Saxons are my favourites. Excellent work, Sander!
ReplyDeleteYeah the Daltons or the Beatles!
DeleteExcellent looking robot type things but lovely Napoleonic Saxons, I was going to cheat for Wagram and do my Saxons in the 1810 uniform but now you've posted these I'm not so sure!
ReplyDeleteBest Iain
Well, do you have Ptussians as well and what headgear are they wearing?
DeleteVery impressive!
ReplyDeleteThanks Barks!
