Watch out you lot "INCOMING!!!
In the 1980's I played a computer game about modern war in Europe and the code for full nuclear war was Operation Warm Puppy. I hope this counts as a suitable points bomb.
I have finished my Republican Romans, I do love that feeling when you have completed an army. There were 4 units to complete
Hastai - Aventine
Principes - 1st Corps
Principes - 1st Corps
Triari - 1st Corps
So this is my competed army, 2 units of velites and 1 unit of Triari were completed during the last challenge but the rest are all this one. 4 units each of Hastai and Principes, 2 Triari, 1 unit Equites, 2 units Velites, 1 unit of allied Volosci and 3 Generals. All the figs are Aventine, Crusader or 1st Corps
I also completed this unit of 12 Gallic Noble Cavalry all mounted on greys - seemed like a good idea at the time - by Wargames Factory. I really hated painting these and it has taken weeks to do them.
And finally 8 Gaul slingers, again Wargames Factory. Washed in Windsor and Newton peat brown ink, which works very well but leaves them a little shiny but varnishing will cure that.
Now for the maths bit
72 foot, 12 cavalry , and hand painted shelds
I need rum, a lot of rum. Also a new target - 3.2K as I have a very busy few weeks at work. Also my 19 year old car passed it's MOT today (annual government safety check) - which was nice
Martin lays down his marker for the run the finish...3200 it is then - its seems you have recovered from your birthday festivies with a bang alright - have you been sleeping at all.... It is wonderfully colourful force Martin .... but an army is never really finished is it!
That's a lot of lovely Romans there Martin. Great points bomb! :)
ReplyDeleteCheers, it was a hard week
DeleteWOW, Glad I got to the fall out shelter in time. The whole army looks beutiful.
ReplyDeleteThank you, pretty proud of them. Some of my best work
DeleteI would agree it is some of your best work.
DeleteDear Lord, yes I'd say that counts as a point bomb, one in capitals I should think! Anyway, the bright colours on your Romans work really nicely, great stuff!
ReplyDeleteThanks, the bold colours were an attraction
DeleteGreat looking Romans Martin. Are you sure that you want to climb on the wagon again, isn't that what slowed you down last week? Are the shields yours or transfers/decal? They look great.
ReplyDeleteDrinking good. 6 day week this week and 2 work dinners so quiet week
DeleteOh and the shields are all hand painted. Really like painting them, which is odd as have no free hand ability
DeleteThey are just smashing. They really give the cohorts character and unity.
DeleteThanks, the designs are pretty simple although with some compacted designs, horses and boars
DeleteWell seeing your target no one should be so very surprised. Excellent work on them all. Did you say finished a project? No I thought not! There will be more but just maybe not this challenge.
ReplyDeleteTa, THEY ARE "FINISHED". Although it would be nice to a full division of Latin allies
DeleteNice work Martin - although I officially refuse to accept that any force in "finished", no matter how many caps are used :)
ReplyDeleteWill everybody stop telling me it's not finished;) it's finished until it's outnumbered. Thanks
DeleteOk , but what about some one to fight with them eh... You need opponents , and thier allies , and auxiliaries
DeleteCarthaginians have been staring at me since start of challenge, but they need more cavalry, and infantry
DeleteAnd what about some artillery , or chariots.. Or elephants...
DeleteElephants tick, chariots are crap but artillery now that would be good
DeleteI guess that could just pass for a points bomb classification :) Great effort Martin! And nice work on them as well!
ReplyDeleteThanks
ReplyDeleteNice point bomb, Martin! They look fantastic all ranked up together too! I won't mock you for "finished" either...my wife likes it when I say a force is finished! ;)
ReplyDeleteCheers. Don't have the luxury of a wife nor self denial. A perfect storm
DeleteBoom!
ReplyDeleteShake, Shake, Shake the room
DeleteA lot of warm puppies!
ReplyDeleteIf your selling those puppies I'll have the one with the pink nose
DeleteAwesome! Great to see an Army get together like this. Well done! cheers mate
ReplyDeletecheers
DeleteWhat a great looking army. I feel your paint with the Wargames Factory horses. They just suck the joy out of painting; they are so bad.
ReplyDeletethanks, you are spot on about the horses
DeleteWhat a great looking army. I feel your paint with the Wargames Factory horses. They just suck the joy out of painting; they are so bad.
ReplyDeleteproperly awe-inspiring. Top job!
ReplyDeleteCheers mate
Deletegreat paintwork ! be seeing you at Caudine forks;-)
ReplyDeleteTa, my kind of battle (once I'd looked it up) - nobody died.
DeleteThat's a great army! Lovely work!
