From Millsy: 28mm Numidians - Altar of the Snowlord (210 points)

Hi All,

This is my final post for this year's Challenge and it fulfils my very own personal assignment set by the Curt for the his Altar in the Chambers of the Challenge.
I had an 80% completed Numidian army which was lacking a couple of core infantry units so I've painted those up (100 + 20 bonus = 120 points), plus thrown in a pair of elephants with escorting skirmishers (2 x 45 = 90 points) as icing on the cake. In theory all that is missing now is some Celtiberian cavalry.

All miniatures are from Victrix with decals from LBM. I had something of a disaster with one of the decal sets (don't ask) so one howdah is a little less ornate than the other but I don't mind the overall finish.











Thanks Bruce for painting such a wonderful miniature for me as a prize, much appreciated mate.

Curt, thanks yet again for your efforts to keep the Challenge going from year to year. Having missed the last one I was doubly keen for this one and have enjoyed it immensely. Sarah, thank you for your efforts in wrangling both Curt when he is most distracted and for Sarah's Choice which is a real treat. Thanks also minions for your efforts yet again, it wouldn't be the same without you. Finally thanks to my fellow challengers for your comments on my own work and more importantly for sharing your own which I find inspiring, diverting and in many cases dangerously seductive and potentially harmful to my credit card balance!

Cheers everyone. I hope you all stay safe, well and are looking forward to a better year than last.

  1. Oh my, Millsy what a great effort. These look marvelous. I've painted Victrix Numidian cavalry for Infamy Infamy. I'm not sure I can build the Victrix plastics, but have been looking for metal to add to my cavalry. Great inspiration.
    A well deserved prize.
