Whilst my output has been lower on quantity than in previous years, I think everyone will agree that my overall quality has been much higher. And I still finished in 8th place somehow (OK, being early-retired and having no family distractions helped considerably).
It's been a blast and I hope to see you guys again in December for AHPC XI, if not sooner either in real life (when things clam down and return to normal) or in the Quarantine Challenge.
Toodle-pip!

You're definitely right about quality output, Tamsin, and the quantity's pretty much there, too. Managing that together with minioning and such humour and imagination (your tale to satisfy the Snowlord's Challenge was brilliant) must be very demanding. You might also like to know that my little narratives this time round were very much triggered (for good or ill!) by your scintillant sketches, so thanks for the inspiration.
ReplyDeleteSee you in Quarantine (I believe that's a South American dictatorship nestling between Libertine and Orangina - geography's not my strong point).
Very true on quality - superb painting.
ReplyDeleteI look forward to the day I can return to london.
Stay safe
You have been great this year and definitely MVP
ReplyDeleteSuper output, quality and quantity!
ReplyDeleteBest Iain
What an excellent group shot (and such a nice and neat workspace!) My favourites were your pulp characters - especially the ladies, oh, and those groovy skulls too!
ReplyDeleteI loved the little desert island with all of the regular challengers represented on it. Your painting never fails to impress.
ReplyDeleteThe quality has been exceptional!
ReplyDeleteI read a lot about English ladies, smart and wonderful women with a delicate taste and amazing patience. I am glad that for three months in the mind I saw such a lady at work. thanks a lot!
ReplyDelete@ Noel - thank you! My tales inspired yours? OMG! What madness have I unleashed on the world! ;)
ReplyDeleteps I understand that the President of Quarantine is Clementine, whose favourite tipple is turpentine ;)
@ Miles - thanks! I look forward to seeing you in London again when this is all over. :)
@ Martin - cheers! :)
@ Iain - thanks! :)
@ Curt - cheers! It was nice to focus so much of y tie on the various character figures rather than hordes. Mind you, I even had fun painting the hordes of barbarians and put nearly as much effort into them as the smaller entries. If the poundshop has those skulls again next Halloween I'll pick a set up for you if you like. :)
@ Stuart - thanks! That island was fun to do and I did learn that Vallejo Still Water isn't the best product for that sort of piece. :)
@ Barks - cheers! :)
@ Alex - thank you! I was happy to see your wonderful work again this year and thank you so much for those Neanderthal figures you sent me. :)
Ohh, one of those would be lovely, if they have them again. Thanks! :)
DeleteTamsin you've been as usual the soul of this group. Thanks very much for your assistance as Minion (in-chief?) and a really varied, great and constant output throughout the past three months. We'll see again soon, I guess
ReplyDeleteThanks Benito! That's very kind of you. :)
DeleteTamsin, your work never ceases to impress, and your minioning is always top-shelf! So glad you were there to help Curt herd the painting cats again!
ReplyDeleteThanks Ev! :)
DeleteAn impressive haul of painted goodies. Quantity AND quality, every wargamers dream!
ReplyDeleteCheers Lee! :)
DeleteYou had a great Challenge Tamsin. Thanks for raising the bar for the rest of us.
ReplyDeleteWhat's not to like? All your entries were of the highest possible level and I am envious about your pace of turn-out, it's awesome. See you in the Quarantine Challenge Tamsin!
ReplyDelete@ Peter - thanks! It wasn't me that razed the bar though; I suspect it must have been...Ray! Yes, let's blame Ray. ;)
ReplyDeleteOh, "raised". Nah, not me - other folk produced much nicer stuff; I just had more time than them to put out more stuff. :)
@ Sander - thanks! I'm "early retired", so I have more time for painting than a lot of folks. :)
