Well, that's another amazing Challenge done! My third Challenge has been the most satisfying one so far as far as my own participation is concerned, I must say. I had raised my target again compared to last year, but I still quite easily reached it. And what a great theme again this year! I painted quite some useful pieces, and some that only served to enable me to travel around AHPC Studios, GmbH. Those distractions, however, allowed me to reach the final destination on the map, for the first time ever. Although I painted no ships this year, and no 15mm, I am very happy to have painted a lot of 28mm figures, my very first 2mm army, and quite some terrain pieces too. In sum, my personal Challenge XIII was a great success!
Last year, I didn't manage to comment on as many posts as I would have liked, and I promised to do better; well, I have at least tried to comment on each contribution this year. Should I have perchance missed any, please accept my apologies. Looking at your posts and commenting was definitely no punishment his year. Once again I was blown away by the skill, creativity, originality, and variety of the contributions. I have seen amazing figures, mind blowing terrain pieces, fantastic ships, and even some quite fascinating turnips. And also once again it was a pleasure and a privilege to be part of such a friendly, welcoming and generous a group as you Challengers are.
Many and most heartfelt thanks to Curt and Sarah, for organizing and managing the Challenge, to the Minions, in particular to Stuart for streamlining the Saturday Squad, and to Tamsin for generally keeping an eye on pretty much everything. To Millsy for the tracking of the side duels. To Sydney, for producing that great AHPC Studios theme and map. And finally, to all of you who made Challenge XIII such a warm bath again, in particular those of you who commented so nicely on my posts; those comments are very motivating and encouraging, and much, much appreciated. Thank you all for a great experience!
Oh well, at your own risk then, you can have a picture of me with my haul of this year:
I hope to see you all again in December for Challenge XIV!
