PaulSS arrives at Snowlord's Peak (57 Points)

As Lady Sarah's balloon touches down on the Snow Lord's Peak the rebels disembark and start to form a defensive perimeter.

The barricades are erected, fire lanes are cleared and then the cases of supplies start to be unloaded.

Trooper Dok-Antora picks up an heavy crate and unwisely tries to move it himself, the trooper stumbles and drops the crate, it splits and with a sound of trumpets and a thunder of tiny hooves out pour a load of teeny weenie cavalrymen dressed in grey coats speaking some gibberish in their squeaky little voices.

"Get over here Sergeant, and bring the Electrobinoculars"

As the tiny horsemen spilling from the crate form up in their squadrons, Sergeant Navarando scans them with the Electrobinoculars, monitoring the stream of Aurebesh that flows across the screen.

"Well, for a start, that's not gibberish, it's Danish" the Sergeant announces to his troops, "These fellows appear to be from the Danish 5 Jydske Regiment, but I'm really not sure how they got in this here case."

The squadrons of tiny horsemen form up and head off down the mountain slope, slowly as Denmark knows not such steep and vertiginous landscapes. After all the activity Trooper Dok-Antora is ready for lunch and looking forwards to his Ronto Rations.

He cracks open the case marked supplies and there is a acrid smell that immediately put him off his food.

"Oh bullocks!" says Sergeant Navarando, "No, that's bull-shit!" says Trooper Dok-Antora.

After all the recent painting of the 40mm Star Wars: Legion stuff these tiny fellows were a big change in scale, they hardly come up to the ankles of the FFG stuff on their huge thick bases.

Eighteen 6mm cavalry and eighteen 6mm cattle with the location bonus should be 57 points towards my total.

Now back to painting the big chaps!

Haha! Very good Paul. Your Danish cavalry and herd of bullocks look absolutely terrific. The cavalry are especially smashing with the detail of their white-piped tricorns and buff-edged saddle blankets painstakingly picked out. Very impressive brushwork that.

Speaking of tricorns, for your prize I'm happy to award you Peter's lovely 18th century courting couple - an appropriate vignette for the onset of spring.

Thank you for taking up the Peak Challenge, Paul!
