From StuartL: Wild Blonde Bares All (30 points)

For my third and final post this week, I have a Celtic chariot all done and dusted. The model is from Warlord Games and features a couple of ancient Brits ready to kick those Romans back to the continent. This will be joining my small force of Britons for Hail Caesar.

The chariot itself was a simple enough paint job being mainly wood and wicker. The horses were likewise fairly simple, so I tired to spend a bit of extra time on the crew. The driver got some fancy leggings and both he and the naked lunatic behind him got woad warpaint and some lime-washed blonde locks.

After painting, I applied a mix of flock and static grass. Once the glue had set I knocked off the excess and took some photos. When I went to resize the photos, I noticed that there was still some loose flock on the model, so I went over it with a brush and retook the pictures. Unfortunately, some flock is still clinging to the sides of the model and deadlines are looming, so I apologise for that.

And a gratuitous (NSFW) shot to finish the post with. The shield is hand painted as I couldn't find the transfers for it. Should they ever turn up, I'll probably redo it.

So, to close off this weeks posts, I believe that chariots are scored based on their component parts. I will leave it to my omniscient minion to determine the exact values, using secret formulae passed down from the ancient druids themselves, but at a rough guess:
2x horses = 10 points?
2x crew = 10 points?
1x chariot = 10 points?
And 1 more squirrel as well.

With only 1 week to go, I still have a load of minis to finish off. See you all at the finish line.

On the woad again... Oh dear, I seem to have caught Ev's pun disease. Thirty cc's of points and that lovely shield should see me right. I do feel that the chariot needs a bumper sticker- suggestions taken!
