The end of the challenge, I managed to scrape across the line with one big push on the last day but hey at least I made the target, everything except casualty markers has been cavalry and all bar one post Napoleonic cavalry. I'm happy with what I got done this year, all 28mm as I'm a one scale type, I've tried other scales but it doesn't work for me!
That's Toby informing me I've forgotten about my Napoleonic French Imperial Guard cavalry.
Quite right Toby, what it does mean is I entirely failed to get anything done on the various duels, dark age Britain, figures still primed check. Renaissance, still scratch building but at least I've started painting some figures!
War carts for Ravenna WIP, it's funny but the duel( even though I didn't paint anything!) has got me buying landsknechts and playing pike and shot Italian wars and reignited my interest in the period once more, one of the things I like about the challenge is you go in with a plan and it all changes. Partially because of the war of three Kingdoms cuirassier unit I painted I'm now working on a dozen mid 17th century artillery pieces that certainly weren't planned before the challenge!
Apart from me , it's been a treat trying to keep up with all the wonderful painting everyone has done, I look forward to voting for our challenge favourite!
Thanks again to Curt, Sarah and all the minions but especially Peter for putting up with me on Mondays, already planning/ day dreaming of next challenge!
All the best
Iain
