From NoelW for Thursday: No squirrels were harmed in the making of this post (430 points)

Yeah, sorry, but this post is just more of the same. Basically, you’ve seen it all before. Not even a hint of a squirrel point. So – a quick glance – then move along there, please.

Firstly, here’s the last batch of my Caesarean Romans. 20 figs. They look exactly like the other two batches I’ve posted already. Which is the point, of course.

That's the last of those. However, there's an ugly clamour of Imperial Romans in the box at my elbow, so they might be in with a chance of a brush with my Vallejo once I've stopped seeing red.

Secondly nearly all I’ve left of my Austrian 15mm infantry. There’s a few figures still lurking which I might squeeze in, but the bulk of the foot are completed with this post.

They consist of two German line infantry battalions in caskets (helmets),

forty jagers (in grey),

and four conflated battalions of Grenadiers, both German and Hungarian. Total of 165 figs.

So that's now 362 Austrians painted that I didn't have at the beginning of the Challenge. Cavalry and perhaps guns will appear somewhere along the line. 

I promise next week’s post will be much more interesting. Even exciting.

Well, perhaps not quite exciting. Maybe it'll be Zulus? Maybe men at arms from Agincourt? Perhaps a couple of Fallout monsters? Or barbarians from the Frostgrave universe? Even I don’t know what will happen. Oh, the thrill of expectation!!!

20 x 28mm foot @ 5 pts = 100 points.

165 x 15mm foot @ 2 pts = 330 points

Total: 430 points

MilesR: Now this is a very nice points bomb, Noel.  I especially like the 15mm Austrians and think you've done a marvelous job with them.  Well done, Sir!
