Well after the predicted madness that has been February so far, things are easing off (I apologize to the other Challengers for my lack of comments over the few weeks as it has been epically manic), and I can start winding up some painting again.
That kind chap Millsy sent me a present in way of consolation for our last little challenge , some rather fine 6 man bell tents from Grand Manner. I decided to make these into the field hospital section. They are now complete and of course score zero points. To complete the field hospital we have the Ambulance camels (by Redoubt )and another Medical Officer tending a casually ( Empress Miniatures Zulu war set,that only needed the cuff detail removing). So minimal points,but the Man Cave is once more a hive of productivity.
So its 1 28mm figures, 5 casualties, and two camels.
So Mrs Mills..2500 ... it was a mere flesh wound - "The Black Knight " never surrenders!! 3500 it shall be!
I will leave you to contemplate the strains of "Thin Lizzy".. The Boys are Back...
I am off to twirl my brushes..and do a stock up of bases and tufts - again!
From Curt:
Oh wow, those stretcher bearing camels are brilliant! Love em. Again, more wonderfully evocative terrain from Grand Manner - while his taste in music is questionable, that Millsy fellow is a fine chap indeed.
A 3500 point challenge?! Cripes, okay Mr. Mills are you in for a final dash to the finish?
I feel sea sick just thinking about that camel transport! The field hospital is a great addition. Totally SPLENDID.
ReplyDeleteCheers Clint, thought you might appreciate a camel or two.
DeleteOh, crap - not camels again! That is soooo last Challenge, like, innit ;)
ReplyDeleteExcellent work on these lads Dave and I look forward to seeing you and Millsy in a race to 3500 points :)
Thanks Tamsin... I do have a large amount of camels to do coming up.. Just not sure of timeframe..
DeleteLove the idea of the field hospital, the camels are fantastic. Good luck to you and Millsy in your 3500 point challenge.
ReplyDeleteThanks, it is a little different
DeleteNice little vignette and objective counter for the Sudan! I'd give ya at least a plus 10 for style points....if you would a put lasers on the tents you coulda got points fer gunz! ;)
ReplyDeleteShould give the imperials something to think about evening for sure.
DeleteExcellent work - 3,500 points is an astonishing accomplishment - good luck!
ReplyDeleteCheers.. Well we will see how it goes..!
DeleteVery well done! No challenge really seems to be complete without some camels.
ReplyDeleteThanks.. Very true..
DeleteThose bell tents are just gorgeous. So nice of Millsy to send those.

ReplyDeleteI'll just back out of the blast radius of the look spray shall I and let the two of you get on with it.
ReplyDeleteLove the chameaux.
Cheers, PD
Ha ha!... Indeed
DeleteVery nice indeed Dave, they came up a treat.
ReplyDeleteI'm afraid I'm going to have to decline your "third time's a charm" offer. Real life is seriously getting in the way at the moment and I doubt I'll be reaching my revised total. Feel free to gloat now or at your leisure. :-)
That's just fine Millsy! Good luck matey, and get through stuff you gotta deal with...
DeleteGreat work on the hospital, those camel ambulances are quite something
