From StephenS: I've made it to the finish line... (100 points)

G'day,

First up is the rest of the unit for the knight I painted for the 'West' theme round. These seven guys are lovely 28 mm sculpts from Gripping Beast, and painted up a treat. They're a special unit in SAGA, but will more likely see service as just a regular unit of warriors. They will, however, serve to break up the monotonous black and white livery of the rest of the army.





The second entry is more reinforcements for my Ancient Carthaginian army. Six plastic 28 mm models from Victrix. These guys are Libyan javelin armed skirmishers, and very proficient at dying without causing any damage to their Roman adversaries. I don't expect the extra firepower to achieve anything, but they will possibly become a trip hazard for the advancing legionaries. :)
A very simple paint job doesn't really do the nice sculpts justice.

Yes, the glue is still drying on the bases... :)


So with these two entries I should gain the 100 points needed to reach my target of 750 points and I can put the brushes down (for just a little while) with a satisfied grin on my face.

Thank you Curt, and all the Minions as well, for all the work and time that goes into running this brilliant challenge.

Cheers Everyone,

Steve
