Thinking of what "squirrels" I could do for this years challenge and figured why not start the hunt off with a squirrel battalion for Hedgerows and Heroes; only these 15 squirrels might fight back as they look like they are out hunting.
These are based for the game by Splintered Light Miniatures. This is my first time painting some anthropomorphic animals for gaming. They were quite fun to paint. They are so cute.
As my first post, this is the first batch for the squirrel side-duel.
Squirrel Point Tally: 1
1. 28mm Squirrel Battalion
Challenge Points:
28mm foot figure @ 5 points * 15 figures = 75 points
I suspect young Oscar might have an unexpected surprise if he comes across this bunch on his time-travels! What a great idea to start off your squirrel hunt with a bunch of hunting squirrels!

Nice work Steve - this is the first time I have seen participants use actual squirrel figures :)
ReplyDeleteThat’s quite a cute bunch of warlike squirrels you’ve got there
ReplyDeletemarvellous
ReplyDeleteOh oh … don’t let Tamsin’s Time Travelling Oscar find the squirrels … mayhem for sure!
ReplyDeleteSquirrels for squirrel points … awesome!
This entry is completely nuts…… I’ll get my coat.
ReplyDeleteNice job on these, they do look great!
Very cute... and a little unnerving.😁
ReplyDeleteThis is so cute and thematic for the Squirrel Challenge!
ReplyDeleteHaha! Awesome work - love it. My dogs would go absolutely bonkers seeing these (and then probably scamper away, yelping).
ReplyDeleteGreat work, love those beady little eyes -- so fierce, so cute 🐿🐿🐿🐿🐿🐿🐿
ReplyDeleteExcellent squirrel unit. Love the guy in the armour up front!
ReplyDeleteMore strange figures found on the Challenge. Good looking squirrels, welcome to the Challenge Steve!
ReplyDeleteThey're amazing Steve! You've done such a convincing job on their faces. What a great way to start!
ReplyDeleteBonus squirrel point for originality??
ReplyDeleteGreat stuff - Jez
Haha! These are so great! The acorn standard is the chef’s kiss to the whole unit, and your brushwork on their wee faces and white ringed eyes makes them come alive. I just had to pay some guys to squirrel proof my attic and Erving the resident squatters up there, but if your squirrels were up there instead … well, that doesn’t bear thinking on.
ReplyDeleteCheers, MikeP
“ evict” not Erving. Stupid auto correct.
DeleteGreat looking bunch of martial squirrels!
ReplyDeleteBest Iain
