From BenitoM: Gaul Leader at O'Grady's Gulch (35 points) (for Jaime)

In my tour around Challenge Island I have arrived to the last spot in the Path of History route: O'Gradys Gulch. In this site we are requested to paint something for a friend.


Let me introduce you all to Jaiminsurix:

This is a Gaul leader that I paint for my good friend and long-time wargamer Jaime; as some of you may have guessed, Jaime works in the insurance sector, actually in Spain's largest firm specialised in export credit insurance.

A little bit of backgound: Jaime and I have known for a looooong time now (we met in our local club Club Dragon of Madrid in the mid 80s), both have "children"  (ahem...  over 20 years old by now) of roughly the same age and he introduced me to the world of Dungeon and Dragons.

Most recently he joined our small team testing the Too Fat Lardies Infamy! Infamy!  rules. Being a passionate Ancient period player, he has been generously lending his Roman and Gaul/Briton minis collection to test the rules, while the rest of us slowly build our own armies.

This is juts a small token of appreciation for his support in these past months while testing the rules. Jaiminsurix will now join the ranks of the rebellious Barbarian troops on the table and I hope to add some photos in the near future and tales of his endeavours.

The model is a metal 28mm Wargames Foundry, This is a veteran old model from the late 80s, included among those that I removed the paint and I'm now repainting again.

With this entry I add 35 points to my Challenge score (5 points from the model and 30 points for the spot in Challenge Island). I'm now one site away from completing the  5 required to present myself to the Snow Lord. But as this the last one of the path selected, I'll have to book a seat in Sarah's balloon, which I expect to do by the end of the week (hopefully).
