Whew! Glad the manic rush has finished but sad to see it over.
Any ‘strategy’ went out the window fairly early as I adjusted to the Island concept. I wasn’t sure what fiendish task the Snowlord would set for me, so I rushed up to the peak. I was forced to confront my self-imposed nightmare of samurai, but truly bit the bullet and went all in with as many units as I could handle.
While grinding my way through cavalry, I got the taste for the island locations and dug out odd miniatures that would satisfy the various requirements. I was really chuffed to complete the entire island! About 500 points are just from island bonuses...
At the same time, I was thoroughly trounced in the Skully McSkullface side duel- and I’d do it again!
Particular accomplishments I’m happy with include:
See you at QC2020!

Particular accomplishments I’m happy with include:
- Samurai
- Pinkstone Fortress
- Sauron vignette
- Painting a few odd figures that have been hanging around for years: assassins, Indy, drunken pirate, zombie Napoleon, etc.

See you at QC2020!
Lovely stuff Barks. It's been great having you join us again. Shame about the skull-o-meter side duel.
ReplyDeleteNot at all, Tamsin. It was a valuable lesson about not taking on the duels wallah at his own game!
DeleteLoads of fantastic figures! The samurai were excellent but I also really liked the chaos marines and the Blackstone fortress stuff!
ReplyDeleteBest Iain
Thanks very much, Ian!

ReplyDeleteThanks, Martin, it was very enjoyable as always.
Deleteit was a great job. I have noted a lot for myself, especially in working with elements of the area. thank you very much for your work
ReplyDeleteThanks, Alex!
DeleteIt was wonderful having you with us again Barks. I always enjoy your entries as they are very creative, colourful and funny. It was great to see more from Pinkstone Fortress and your Sauron vignette was tremendous.
ReplyDeleteGlad to be here! I’ve wanted to do a Sauron vignette ever since I got the figures over ten years ago. The Challenge really gives me a valuable nudge and support towards getting things done, so thank you.
DeleteI especially loved the samurai, but everything you did was eye-catching.
ReplyDeleteThanks very much, Stuart!
DeleteGreat output Barks, love your sense of wackiness! More skulls please
ReplyDeleteThanks very much, Peter! I try, I try.
DeleteBrilliant work throughout the Challenge Barks.
ReplyDeleteThanks very much, Ray!
DeleteBarks, that is a terrific output. Has the Skull-O-Meter overheated and blown a gasket yet?

I think it’s very happy, there’s a big grin on its face!
DeleteExcellent entries again this year Barks, I do enjoy your style of writing a lot so on to the next Challenge!
ReplyDeleteThanks very much, Sander!
