A few months ago back in September fellow Challenger James, very sadly lost his
unborn son Joshua.
unborn son Joshua.
James is trying to raise money for the local hospital where his wife stayed.
In memory of his son he had an amazing idea....
From James' blog http://themadtinhatter.blogspot.com/2019/09/for-joshua.html
"My current idea is a 10mm project - fantasy undead and orcs versus the 'free people'. The free people would be eclectic - a mix of whatever anyone wanted to contribute or paint that fitted the 'fantasy' setting. Arthurian knights, Elves, Dwarfs, Humans of any variety, Lizardmen, etc, etc - anything and everything from medieval or late medieval model ranges or fantasy ranges.
The baddies would be in black with a little red.
The set would then do some of the wargames shows in the UK, as a display or demo game.
The whole project would then be raffled (or auctioned) off - The proceeds would then go towards an appropriate charity in honour of my little boy whom I will never get a chance to share my hobby with."
James M will be completing the basing on these - honest! |
I spoke to Rejects Lee and Postie and explained what had happened, they both agreed that they'd like to help out and would paint some figures up. So at Warfare in Reading we all bought some figures.
These are Hordes and Heroes from Kallista Romano British Warriors.
So if any of you guys n gals would like to help out please do so.
It's my first ever time painting up 10mm figures, I think I need new glasses????
There are 32 x 10mm figures giving me 32 points - with a good charitable cause top up .
From DaveD. Welcome to the 10mm club. I share your pain on seeing the little blighters.Though I do think you have done a really nice colourful job on these well done. Perhaps your basing could be thinner? Haha... mind let’s not give Miles any ideas about counting the cubic inches of the base as terrain! James will be very pleased to have you guys helping out . We have a game booked in with the contributions received at Hammerhead in Newark in March, to help publicise it - thanks again .
Nice work for a worthy project, Ray :)
