Nah not really!!!!! I just added on a few zero's for fun, but I had you going..............
So its only a mere 24 points for my last entry into this years Challenge.
Well done to Curt, don't know how you manage to do all this and find time to paint as well as eat? And a big fat well done to all my fellow contestants! Its been a blast!
So for my last entry, may I present 6 French Brigade leaders for my NYW French army. Three are Essex Miniatures and three are Donnington riders on Essex horses. They are based on for Beneath the Lily Banners rules.
Francois Louis, Prince of Conti
Louis-Charles d'Hautefort
duc de Roqualaure
Mareschal de Camp Montmorancy
Jean-Armand de Joyeuse, Marquis of Grondpre
Lt-Gen Feuquires
From Curt:
Haha! That was awesome Ray! You certainly had a few of us going, make no mistake - cheeky bugger.
These floppy-hatted fellows are lovely Ray. I particularly like the last fellow pointing to the distance - he looks like he should be in a painting by Diego Velazquez.
It's been great to have you with us again Mr. Rousell. I know your work situation does not allow you to be the Points Titan that you were a few years ago, but even with your more modest volume you still provide wonderful inspiration to us all (and a lot of laughs).
See you next time then? :)
And here I was waiting for a massive last push from you :) Nice work on the command bases!
ReplyDeleteThanks Samuli, no bomb from me this year, just wish I had the time!
DeleteGood stuff Ray.. Come on now.. Where are the rest of them?
ReplyDeleteThere was more, just couldn't get it finished???
Delete2400 points well deserved. ("Fresh Dux" that is German for cheeky badger!)
ReplyDeleteCheeky is as cheeky does!
DeleteExcellent work Ray - it's been great having you along again this year, mainly because of the distinct lack of sandbags! :)
ReplyDeleteI'm guessing I'll see you at Salute. Is the big fella going to come back over for it?
Salute is a go, not sure if Fran's going, its hard to get hold of the bugger in the boglands!!!
DeleteSuperb command bases and well played on the heading - you're a wiley one Mr Ray....
ReplyDeleteI hoped I'd have a few bods worried wit the title...he he!
DeleteWell done Ray - both on the generals and the ruse.
ReplyDeleteCheers, PD
Cheers Peter, glad you liked my little play on words.
DeleteToo bad it couldn't have been 4200, just to make Dave D wet himself ;). Good crossing brushes with you again Ray, I still regret not being able to pop by when we were in England last year.
ReplyDeleteGod I wish it was 4200!!!!! It was a shame you couldn't make it to Reject HQ, but there's always next time Sean, you're welcome anytime you want!
DeleteIt may not be 2400 points but they are a bomb of their own, excellent work
ReplyDeleteIan
Thanks Ian, I hope you don't mean they need blowin' up?
DeleteThey look like suitable commanders! ;) well done, Ray!
ReplyDeleteHopefully you'll be back next year, now that you got me hooked! Perhaps you'll have an easier go and we can drag Fran along too!
I'll definitely be back for more of the same later on in the year. I know Fran painted lots of figures, but he's not online as of yet, hence no posts!!! The twat!
DeleteLOL! They might not be A bomb but they certainly are THE bomb. Wonderful work Ray.
ReplyDeleteCheers Millsy! And well done on your top 5 finish!
DeleteSome lovely commanders! Great final entry :)
ReplyDeleteWell done you old Badger :-) Great to see you back in your comfort zone: doing 17th/ 18th century mini's and annoying the heebeejeepies out of everyone!
