From TeemuL: Peninsular British (20 points)

This is the start of the 24th Warwick unit for my Peninsular War project. These are plastic Victrix minis and I already have painted two 24 strong units of these, so I'm getting used to these. The brushwork is a mix of Contrast paints and basecoat & wash which seems to work ok and is quite fast.

My research is bit lazy at this point, my source is mainly the Victrix box and choosing 24th as this unit was a bit random selection, but here we are. I painted 66th previously and their cuffs are a bit lighter green than these. In the future I should get more in-depth sources for my project, especially when I start buying and painting cavalry and artillery.

I've been painting something every day and I have more entries in the pipeline, but I really need to speed up in order to make a decent approach towards my points goal. I just realized that usually lots of my points come from Challenge locations, so this year might be very difficult for me. :)

This is not quite a squirrel, just 20 points, but it will be in a near future. Yep, 28mm miniatures are worth 5 points, so this is 20 in total.

__________________________________________

Like these hard-bitten fellows you have for us, you've been in the ranks for years. Welcome back to the Challenge, Teemu! 

Being an archivist by trade, I find your more laid back approach to historical research quite refreshing. :) That being said, I think these Warwick fellows look great, and I especially like the vibrant green facings complimenting their red coats. Sartorial comments aside, I'm sure they're eager to have more of their comrades around them as a few of these poor chaps have been knocked about a bit. I look forward to seeing the entire battalion in all its glory.

20 points for your opening volley! Great work, Teemu!
