Hi everyone again! I present to you the following for the army by the rules of the games Simon Miller "To the Strongest!". This time it is the army of the Great Greece - Greek policies in Italy. I really enjoyed working with this army. A lot of interesting colors, different units.
I enjoyed working with both the company Victrix plastic and iron of Foundry. I liked to draw emblem of on shields, and I allowed myself a couple of times with this joke. So here is the result:
Psiloi (Victrix)
Italian allied hoplites (Victrix)
Psiloi again (Victrix)
Peltasts (Victrix)
Generals (Foundry)
Hero (Foundry and Victrix)
Mercenary celt psiloi (Warlord)
Hero (Miniature created by sculptor Dmitry Medvedev)
Last year I was very delighted example of Mr. Miles, who presented us all the model ships. And I decided to follow his inspiring example and assemble and paint a ship. The first time I did it since the days of childhood and really enjoyed. Masts and sails I did not yet installed, because I have a problem with the storage of large models. Let this be the ship, pulling on the land - it would be a great objective. This Greek trireme, and it is called "The Son of Horus." (Hey, Greg!)
Mercenary hoplits (Vixtrix)
General view:
Total:
66 inf
1 ship
Well, a few words at the end of the post. Doing 20-30 models a day has proved difficult. Age is not the one to sleep and not so easy to 2-3 hours a day. But ahead of big holidays - New Year, Orthodox Christmas and our favorite holiday mysterious Old New Year. I'm going to sleep, eat and play with children. I will not touch a brush and paints. But when the holidays end... :)

Well, I'm pretty sure this is a new record for for the books. Absolutely AMAZING work Alex!! You really need to get some rest after this effort (and perhaps enjoy the holidays). So much to say about these figures. The solid painting, the hand painted shields, the great basing, the SHIP!! Absolutely terrific.
For both the shields and ship I'm going to award an extra 50 points. So over the past 10 days you've painted over 1000 points. Wow. Just wow.
Suffice it to say the 'First to 1000 Points' duel is concluded. :)
Again, great work Alex.
