From DaveD - Return of the Fuzzies...(175 points)

Its been a a good week for painting, most enjoyable and needed, although very little completed of what was actually planned, but you know how it goes. Today's final post sees ongoing progress for what I think is the 5th consecutive Challenge committed to the building up of the armies of the Mahdi. These are Perry plastics and few metals. I have painted so many of these blighters over the years I think I could do them in my sleep - but then sometime that's what you gotta do to feed the megalomania - Mahdists hordes don't create themselves .

This top up takes me over 900 foot troops with 1000 target in the distance not too far away.

I had hoped/planned for an opening mega game last autumn, but circumstances saw that cancelled - but with a fair wind this winter season should see it become a spring time reality. 

 34 Beja and an Emir commander.

Right, now what was I supposed to be working on ? .... aah yes something hairy, smelly and spitting for Tamsin... no I don't mean Ray....

Oh and I must say a big thank you to my erstwhile companion in banter Millsy for enquiring about my health (or was it sanity?) due to nothing being completed. Thanks Millsy, it really helped in what was a difficult period.

Cracking work Dave!  I've been proud to have the Challenge, in a vicarious way, help fuel this Mahdist Megalomania you've been exercising these past few years. So, over 900 Mahdists now. Whoah. It will be truly glorious to see this entire collection being used in a game. I look forward to the after action report of that epic day (or perhaps weekend)!

That was a good Saturday's effort Dave - It's great to have you back with us!
