From Iain W: Challenge X Summing It Up

My aim going into this year's challenge was to paint a number of forces for Dux Bellorum,  I've painted 160 x 28mm figures for Dux so that's a success in my  book!

I also got past my (admittedly relatively low!) total which is also good, started a new army which is always a good thing (Early Imperial Roman), isn't it? Started a planned new army, Irish/ Flodden  Highlanders

Painted some GW figures for the first time in decades ( and actually really enjoyed doing it!)
Challenge island didn't figure prominently in my planning so I came to it late but it got me working on figures I probably wouldn't have got to otherwise and seemed to work better than the weekend bonus rounds ( I've still got figures prepped for lost bonus rounds of the past!)

Please excuse painting hoodie (outside  decorating now the good weather is here ). Toby is back, we're both a bit greyer around the muzzle! 

So I've had a really good challenge and enjoyed commenting on all the posts, there has been a super range of posts, scales, periods and interesting stories! Thanks to Curt, Sarah and all the minions it's been great!

All the best 
Iain
