From JohnS: Target Eliminated!

 Thanks to Curt (and Sarah) for organising another fantastic Challenge. I always enjoy the Challenge but this one was really great and one worth toasting.

To our Canadian Companion, cheers!

 I decided to try and achieve my target of 500 points with a single theme, purely through painting quantity and without claiming any Bonus points. My Slaughterloo army is now larger (but so much more to paint) and I am so happy.

After passing 500 I decided to add some Stretch Goals and allowed myself to stray from the Slaughterloo madness. I finished off a couple of 28mm Napoleonic units, and started my Normans for To The Strongest.

The best part of the Challenge for me was not achieving my goal, not even beating AlanD (although I did get some joy from that) but chatting on a weekly basis with other Aussie and Kiwi Challengers.

Minion Millsie organised the Paint and Chat sessions and I must say that they were instrumental in getting me to paint. And a heck of a lot of fun. Such a great bunch of painters and gamers.

When it was time to take my Finish Line photo I had an auditing visit from the Roving Minion, Our Man From The Tropics, the Pineapple Prince, PaulOG himself. Man, some people take this minioning gig very seriously.

Output Audited, time for a beverage! 

 Thanks again to Curt and Sarah, Super Minion Millsie and all Challengers. 684 points, a Personal Best and something to chase next time. Cheers!
