From MarkE: Romans and a Lady for Sarah's choice (45 points)

Squeaking  in under the deadline and before running out the door for another fun filled night at work, I present my last couple of submissions for the challenge.

A base of 25mm Old Glory Romans and a 28mm Dark Sword Miniature.

These Romans continue a project I started way back in the '90's  Here they are beside a base I completed somewhere before the century turned: New work on the left, old stuff to the right.

I had actually forgotten about this project until I started scouting out my lead mountain for the challenge.  If I recall correctly I was basing them for dual use for the old Chipco Fantasy rules and Classical Hack.  So a real blast from the past.  I've got at least 1.5 more bags of these to clean up, prime and paint so it will be Romans for a while on the bench.  It will help be get more of my brush skills back before moving onto some Perry Napoleonic that have been hanging around getting dusty for at least 10 years.

Last but certainly not least for this year's challenge is my submission to Lady Sarah.  She's a 28mm Dark Sword mini from their Elmore line that I purchased for the first time I entered the Challenge back in 2012.  Life intervened at that point and I failed to get one entry in.  I had to complete at least one mini from that failed effort.

I've always loved the artwork from that classic era of TSR.  I grew up with posters from Elmore, Easley, and the rest of that studio on my walls, and their evocative art fueled many a weekend D&D session with my high school friends. She was going to be my submission for the Toys theme round but I didn't manage to get her done by that deadline.

I'll be making my Curtgeld contribution to Doctors' without Borders.  I've worked with several physicians who donated their time to that organization over the years and they truly do great work.

Points:

8 x 25mm Romans @ 5 pts  = 40 points

1 x 28mm Lady      @ 5 pts =    5 points

                                            total = 45 points

It brings me to 229 for the challenge so a bit short of my 300 goal.  

Well it's off to work.  Unfortunately my night shifts don't afford me time to chip away on my hobby like (I think it was) Ray's epic nightshift challenge year.

Cheers,

MarkE

A fabulous final entry Mark! Those venerable Old Glory Romans look the business (and the mentions of Chipco rules takes me back!). That being said, the female dancer takes the cake here. Wow, what a lovely job you did on her. Well done Mark. Also, thank you for the donation to Doctors' Without Borders - a very worthy organization doing important work.

From BrianC: Undead, Zombicide Black Plague, Next Level Miniatures, Beyond The Gates of Antares and more (135pts)

 Ok. Here we go again. Not too much. Work and life stuff going on. BUT, I'm hoping for a big point dump soon. Let's get to it!

We begin with some nasty ghouls/zombies from Mantic Kings of War Undead Army:

There will be more of these uglies in the future...

We have some Sci-Fi 3D printed Alien "city folk"

I'm not too sure if this mini is from Mortal Gods game or an Old Glory Miniature. Looks like a Roman Slave boss or gladiator trainer?

Some Zombicide Black Plague miniatures. First we have Falstaff, inspired by Bram Stoker's Dracula movie...

Next is, Lady Faye, inspired by Kristen Stewart(Bella of Twilight movie)?

Hey! It's Redcap Rodney from Zombicide Black Plague, too!

I have a couple North Star Miniatures from Frostgrave Wizards II

A couple "kitbash" North Star Miniatures from Oathmark Human Light Infantry set. I used some of the wizard arms to convert them into wizards for my Four Against Darkness Solo RPG.

I have some Next Level Miniatures, cleric, warrior and a thug.

Lastly, some drones from Beyond The Gates of Antares. Concord drones

Ok. That's it for this turn-in. To the points!

28mm x 27 = 135pts.

A great variety pack here Brian.  Lots to love, but I like those kit bashed wizards the best.  Those conversions worked very nicely.  I want to make sure I've counted everything correctly, so here's my head count.

• 8 ghouls
• 3 Aliens
• 1 Roman slave boss
• 3 Zombicide figures
• 2 Frostgrav wizards
• 2 Kit-bashed wizards
• 3 Next level figures
• 5 drones which I will counts as 28mm figures because I don't know else else to count hem as.
• Total 27 minis

From BrianC A Mish Mash of this and that (155pts)

Ok. There's a bunch of this and that. I'm happy to return to my 3rd consecutive paint challenge season! I'm still not that great of a miniature painter, BUT since I'm more of a solo gamer, these will work just fine. Ha! Let's do this!

We begin with Wargames Atlantic Giant Spiders! Smaller spiders are 28mm and the bigger spiders are 40mm. I pretty much painted a black base and dry brush gray, then go over with Army Painter speedpaint of various colors.

We have some dogs from the game Song of Ice and Fire. I think they're the House Bolton's Bastard girls. Majority are painted with Army Painter Speedpaints.

We have some nasty Kings of War Undead ghouls/zombies. I was goofing around and added a head to one and call him, "Frank"

We have a Zombicide Survivor, James from the Rue Morgue Set. There will be much more Zombicide minis, soon. I love the game!

Here we have 2 lovely ladies from Old Glory Miniatures. I think they mean business! Watch out!

Hello, Mr. Terminator! The Warhammer 40K Terminator that is!

Well, there will be a lot more "Mish Mash" turn ins.

I think there's one squirrel point in this. Ha!

Ok to the points...

24 - 28mm = 120pts

5 - 40mm = 35pts

TOTAL = 155pts.

 

That is a miss mash of stuff Brian.  Love those spiders, as long as I don't have to deal with them in person.  I also really like the hounds and those ladies do mean business.  Great work all around.   Peter
