From BrendonW - 1 x Weekly dose of painted minis (127 points)

This week I have completed 9 x warriors on horses, 7 x soldiers on feet (2 freehand shields as well). All plastic and all 28mm.

First the friends of violence meet-up group image.


Conquest Games mix and match Dark Age die hards.




FireForge Mounted Mongols.




Gripping Beast Arabs.

The warrior on foot has actually been sawn in half but fortunately the magician found him an armoured top half from the Heavy Cavalry set. Phew!




Next Perry Miniatures Wars of the Roses defenders of Beer and Bacon.

The Foot pike figure has been converted to get that pike on that angle. The plastic set has them all marching with pikes upright. The Skewbald was completed last week with the previously shown ones but he didn't have a rider ready. Actually a big jump for joy moment as these two are my last Light horsemen from 2 boxes. Wahoo! 24 Light Horse completed! Hitting goals like this is one of the great results of this motivational challenge not to mention having a red hot go at horse variations. Cheers Millsy and Cheers Curt!



Ahhh... Another lovely mixed bunch from Mr Skewbald himself!  Once again you've delivered a very tasty mix of periods and theatres Brendon and the result is wonderful. One of the real challenges of The Challenge from my perspective is maintaining output without the quality dropping off. You've done that in spades and if anything the quality has continued to improve! 
Well done once again, another richly deserved 127 points for your tally including a couple of extra for the lovely hand painted shields. Just 345 more points and you'll pass your initial target. Nice work! Cheers, Millsy.

  9. Great job Brendan. Love the conversion on the pikeman, is that a billman arms with a weapon swap? Also love the Arabs, great job on the shield.

    1. Thanks Peter. I used up all my billman arms before I started the pikes on an angle project. Those Billmen arms would make the conversion process a lot easier. cheerrs

    1. Thanks Sander. The plastic Bowmen set is great. It adds a lot of options. The bodies in that set look very good with the large axe from the Norman infantry set and the longer haired heads as well. cheers
