From MartinC - Sorry Lee but the Maths is going to be tough on this one (450 Points)

Sorry but it's been a productive week.

1st up loads of spiders. I am putting on a participation game at Hammerhead in a month. It's pulp rescue mission in the South Pacific, think Tales of the Gold Monkey and I need more monsters. These are the little spiders and have a 28mm long body. I bought these last halloween from the £1 shop. Black spiders with green fangs are American jumping spiders and look deadly

James of this parish pretty much concentrates on painting all the units in his Granddad's division in WW2, the Highland Division (I think - some amazon unit anyway). Inspired by this truely amazing project i have decided to paint my Granddad's unit. My Grandad was in 7th Battalion Royal Marines, originally assigned to base defence. He went to South Africa

He's the one in the middle next to the Zulu.

His unit was then shipped to Egypt where he contracted malaria and was assigned base duty for the rest of the war. His unit got disbanded and formed 48 commando. So I've painted them

1/2 commando company minus command. one of the units is an SMG unit with only 4 figures

The other 1/2 company

Another 1/2 company

The other 1/2

Commando support, 3 vickers, 3 3" mortars, each with command stand and an extra observer stand. HQ unit at front with 2 PIATs - love PIATs

I still have command stands and mortars etc to paint for these so not a finished army - sorry. These figures are Flames of war infantry company with some extra commando figures from James and one or 2 I had already

Next up some 15mm Greek Terrain. These will do nicely for my Pontic army

A couple of ruined temples - at some point in history these must have been intact but I can never imagine that. These are populated with goats and goat herd. "Herd of goats. Of course I've heard of goats"

The temples are from an aquarium

Greek village - this is from Forged in Battle and nice

Finally every year I like to buy a few figures from Kyle at Mr Lee's. The figures are always brilliant and far to good for my ability so I buy the simplest ones.

This is a 40mm Innuit warrior with a stone axe, Fab figure in a seal skin coat. Getting much better at these

Today's home work is to check this sum

10x massive spiders. I reckon 5pts each = 50 pts

153 commandos @ 2 each = 306

10 prone commandos @ 1 each = 10 20

6 small guns reckon only 2 each = 12 24

1 goatherd @ 2 pts

8 goats @ 2 each (maybe) = 16

1 greek village and ruined temple = about the same size as a 6" cube = 20 pts

1 40mm Eskimo = 7 pts

Total = 423

---

Oh, my aching head! Maths isn't my strong point (some would argue I have no strong points) and this entry has tested my grey matter! Having said that I think you've underscored yourself a little. I'm treated the prone guys as full figures so they get 2pts each and the Maxims and Mortars are crew served weapons in my book so 4 points each.  

And as well as a load of commandos you present a lovely selection of terrain. I especially like the Greek village, that's a really nice model. I'll take your word for it on the sizing of these, although looking at it I would have reckoned it would be larger than a 6" cube in total. 

This brings this entry up to 445 points but I'm adding some extra points for the very nice terrain bringing this to a tidy 450 points! Nice work Martin.
