From PaulSS: [The Armoury] The Armourers (30pts)

Leaving behind the cacophonic clucking and stench of chicken shit our adventurers crept onwards through the chambers. From behind the next door emerged the screech of tortured metal and a shower of sparks was visible through the grille.

The Armoury: Paint a figure, a vignette or unit which is armoured - plate, steel, iron, ceramic, chain-mail - the choice is yours.

The Napoleonic wars don't offer a lot of scope for armoured, and I already have a pair of Cuirassier regiments done. So, not exactly armoured, but armorers, sharpening the blades of the cavalry about to do battle with the Anglo-allied foe on the fields around Mont St. Jean. This excellent set is again from Eureka Miniatures and makes another interesting vignette for the collection.

Like the earlier vignettes, I did the figures in muted tones again, the only splash of colour being the assistants bonnet d'police.

Like the earlier field bakery, I thought it best to do the base in the stained, compacted earth of a courtyard rather than adding the greenery of a field to it.

Two 28mm figure and the location bonus for a total of 30 points which should see me over the half way mark to my target.
