From Millsy - 15/20/28mm Sci-Fi (126 points)

This is the other half of the week of crazy odds and sods I referred to in my earlier Fantasy post. It's a mix of 15mm, 20mm and 28mm miniatures from a variety of vendors for a couple of games. Variety is the spice (not the Spice) of life after all.   :-)

Part one makes me shake my head at how disorganized I am. Last week I submitted an entire force of Titan Marines, happily thinking I'd painted everything I had bought. Guess what I found packing them away? You guessed it, another batch of stuff including 6 more battle suits (Khurasan Miniatures and really 20mm or so tall) plus 3 spider drones (Ground Zero Games). I couldn't leave 'em so painted they were and that's really all of it now I hope. 30 points on the nose.

When I found the above I also found these. Critical Mass Games walkers standing about 28mm tall (in fact exactly the same height as a GW Space Marine). Wonderful resin miniatures which I made a complete mess of and threw in a box.

When I undercoated them I used a cheap primer and the ink I painted over the top made a horrible mess. Cue minor hissy fit and away they went for a good few months. Well if the Challenge is good for anything it's making you paint stuff you've put off and it worked with these. I'm not thrilled with the paint job but neither does it horrify me and they're done. Another 30 points on the tally so all good.

And lastly a bunch more Space Marines because a) they needed doing and b) people were nagging me to do them (you know who you are!). There's a pair of Dark Angels including a sergeant to let me split a 10 man squad into two of 6, a new 10 man squad of Blood Angels and a custom Chaplain in terminator armour.

I don't like any of the termie Chaplains so I kit-bashed this one from about four different models. Oh yeah and a "Teleport Homer" which always gives me some sort of weird Simpsons cross-over ideas when I hear it out loud. :-)

That totals up to 13 loyal sons of the Emperor for 65 points plus whatever the Teleport Homer (tee-hee!) is worth.

Now if my math is correct that brings my points tally up to at least 1251 which means, Mr Docherty, that I believe I've won our little handbag side challenge stoush. There's nothing I can say at this point which can't be better said by the Reverend MC Hammer so I'll leave you to watch this little gem and think of me sleeping the sleep of the righteous...

From Curt:Ah Millsy, gracious in victory as any spastic man in red baggy pants can be.  ;) 

Another wonderful sci-fi entry from you Mr Mills. Actually, I think those purple walkers are excellent, they somehow remind me of the funky robots in 'Borderlands 2'. And your work in the 40K genre is always impressive - such clean and distinct paintwork. 

Again, a great entry Millsy and bravo on your duel victory!
