From MartinC - All the Comforts of Home (133pts)

For my 1st post under Minion Lee (reporting for duty and may i say you look great in those dungarees but a little jaundiced) I have a bit of an eclectic post, good for capturing squirrels. 1st up is a, well how to put this politely, camp support. To put it bluntly a tart in a cart.

A travelling woman of the night, or afternoon if needed, with her cart and maidservant discussing the price. The sulters cart is from Westfalia and a nice model.

The officer and the lady are foundry but the maidservant is the Partizan freebie of Mary Seacole, sorry that I re purposed her to a less honourable job.

I'm pretty chuffed with this, it seemed to come together nicely.

Horse is blissfully eating...

There is even a cat hiding under the cart

I've been moving on with the Indian army and have finished all the archers

Another 7 bases to give me 22 altogether

Couple of command stands. These are Xyston miniatures and are very nice figs if a little big. As was tradition the officers have dyed their beards red and blue. The banners are the shield cloths from a pack of Theban hoplites by Victrix. One of them is supposed to have the word warrior in Sandskrit but as it's my 1st go of writing in Sandskrit it probably says soup

Finally 3 Pendraken 10mm ACW artillery pieces to complete the collection. The figures are great but 10mm is too small for me to paint and have fun doing it. Bound to buy some more

So that is 3 scales and 3 periods. The maths is going to be a bugger so I'll help Lee (he is new to his job and may need a hand)

Sutlers wagon = 1 vehicle, 1 horse, 3 figures and a cat plus minion generosity  = 20 + 5 + 3x5 + 2 for the cat = 42

Indians - 36 figures @2 pts each = 72 plus any hand painted flag loveliness bonus  

ACW = 3 field guns with 3 crew each = 15

Total =  129 ish

Great entry Martin, I really love that Cart and Tart in 28mm! I love the fact you have turned it into a story with the little details like the cat slinking under the waggon, the baggage and even the fodder basket for the horse. I concur with your points for these, plus a couple extra for the little extra details bringing that entry up to 44 points. 

I love the 15mm Indians as well, I'm not familiar with that manufacturer but I'll have to check them out. A nice solid entry and a couple of extra points for the two flags brings that to 74 points. 

Finally the artillery, what's not to love about artillery (well, not if you're on the receiving end of course). 15 points well earned for these. 

With the little extras that brings this entry up to a very respectable 133 points. Nice work Sir!
