4 x Perry Plastic 28mm horsemen. 2 with Crossbows and two with big spears. Constructing the Crossbow figures is a little tricky. Arm position and location of the bolt holster needs a little thought for it to work. The bolt pouch needs to avoid conflict with the high back saddle. The arms (and crossbow) for the shooter are from the Perry foot mercenary set. Plain horses again. Leaders and next batch I aim to have a few extra bits of pattern detail. This is the last post until my next are due. Been a busy day to get these ready for posting and thank you to our down under analogue agent when you get this far. Cheers from Brendon.
Aha, I see what you're doing now! Quality in quantity (of posts just for starters). I'm struggling for adequate superlatives now without sounding like a git so I'll just go with an Aussie "Bloody nice work mate" and add a Kiwi "Choice bro, you deserve a chocolate fish!" to balance it out.
40 points for these and in total 300(!) for the day. That's the equivalent of sneaking all the parts for a points bomb through airport customs one at a time. Just my luck I was on duty and didn't spot the thing til it went off in my face. :-)
PS. Curt, I think I understand it all now. I'm SO sorry mate. ;-)

ReplyDeleteNow, take you medication and Nurse Millsy will take you back to your nice, comfortable, padded room. Oh, the black vinyl stockings, garter belt, thong and mask? Yes, they are the new uniform for our nurses - nothing for you to worry about...
Another lovely set of figures, but you really should have combined your posts :)

DeleteNurses uniforms design by Robert Palmer? Alright!!!!
Mind Bleach... Pass the mind bleach..
DeleteIf you want to bleach the Robert Palmer Babes out of your head sir then I really am genuinely worried about your well being!
DeleteThat's 1/2 a dozen really good posts. The black and red is still cool and the arabs are great. Great points bomb
ReplyDeleteGreat Stealth point bomb great figures all around.
ReplyDeleteGreat work Brendan. Are you sure that you're not a Beaver, as I don't recall that Kiwis are particularly industrious birds.
ReplyDeleteCheers PD
Mounted Crossbows are so indicative of the Italian renaissance armies. I am surprised the Perrys do not have the option readily available. They are a Credit to you sire. Splendid!
ReplyDeleteOnly the shooting pose was a par switch from another kit. You get plenty of Crossbow arms in the Light Horse kit. cheers
DeleteAnd another batch, a stealth point bomb for sure and beautifully done!
ReplyDeleteAnd another one, wow. Multipart plastics are a real bear for me. I seem to always put them together wrong and then have the rank and file not rank up.
ReplyDeleteI thought I'd just comment here, with the last impact crater. :)
ReplyDeleteMillsy, you've gotten a taste of it now, eh? You're a good lad, now stop rocking back and forth and wipe up the dribble...
Fabulous work Brendon. I love your cavalry, especially your crossbow mods. I also appreciate the time you put into your irregular Arab figures - they look wonderfully varied, motley yet very dangerous.
A triumphant entry into the Challenge - Bravo!
Cheers Curt. As the smoke clears Millsy calls for a Medic. None to be found. Not even one in leather.
DeleteYeah, this wasn't a points bomb so much as a points bombardment. Wow!
ReplyDeleteBombs away!
DeleteBrendon, you devious SOB! My hat's off to you!
ReplyDeleteA cluster bomb , methinks
ReplyDeleteCongratulations Brendon!
ReplyDeletethe dull colors are really nice, a vast amount of points in one go!
you are the master bomber of the week ;-)
all the best.
thefrenchjester " Straitjacket for all!"
Cracking work Brendon!
ReplyDeleteThanks everyone. Stealth Carpet Bombing perhaps. I will endeavour to make future posts more compact but it was a crazy day. But we know that Millsy loves the work so who knows...? So tune in next Thursday for more mayhem hopefully. cheers
ReplyDeleteVery nice!
ReplyDeleteGreat job here ( on all the posts! ).. and looking forward to seeing more in the future from you!
ReplyDeleteExcellent looking figures!
