TeemuL: Very nice monk, Ray. It was a good idea to purchase him and I'm sure he can carry the cross across several centuries. Grenadiers are fine looking chaps, too. I like the non-white you have used. A map of the Library would be most useful for tracking your progress. ;)
Welcome to the Painting Challenge. Here you will find the fabulous, fevered work of miniature painters from around the world. While participants come from every ethnicity, gender, age and nationality, they have three things in common: they love miniatures, they enjoy a supportive community, and they want to set themselves against the Challenge. This site features the current year's event along with the archives of past Painting Challenges. Enjoy your visit and remember to come back soon.

From RayR: New Acquisitions & History Bonus rounds (85 points)
For my second entry into Challenge 14, I've entered the Library with 2 entries.
The first is a Dark Age Welsh Priest, holding a wooden cross, from The Miniatures Company, sold by Eureka UK.
Ok, he's Welsh from the Dark Ages, but I think he could and will fit into many other periods.
New Acquisitions: Give us something brand new and shiny.
He's a new figure, I bought him at Partizan in October, I knew he'd come in handy for the Challenge!
Next up we have another Library visit.....
History: In the AHPC Library History is not written by the victors, but by our painters!
This was probably the easiest visit ever to any of the bonus rounds. As anything I paint could go here!
So its back to the late 1600's for some Wargames Foundry French Grenadiers.
They were a doddle to paint up and will add a little colour to my Donnybrook collection.
So to the points
Monk 5 pts + 20 bonus points = 25pts
8 x Grenadiers - 40 pts + 20 bonus points = 60pts
For a total of 85pts

Lovely work Ray. The monk would be great for Silver Bayonet. (I might need to purchase one.)
ReplyDeleteHe's a great figure.
DeleteGreat stuff, Ray! The priest is really timeless, even genre-less, very useful. Love the grenadiers, for once not wearing fancy caps or bearskins!
ReplyDeleteEveryone loves a floppy hat, don't they?
DeleteMore Donnybrook! It's about time! Great job Ray. And that priest would work for all sorts of periods and settings.
ReplyDeleteDonnybrook Rocks!
DeleteNice work
ReplyDeleteCheers
DeleteReally nice figures Ray. That priest could fit in many, many places.
ReplyDeleteHe sure can.
DeleteWonderful work Ray. So, what is this Donnybrook thing? Is it new? ;P
ReplyDeleteSurprised you've not heard of it before, Curt?
DeleteWonderful stuff. I can hear the warning for sinners to repent just looking at the priest.
ReplyDeleteI think he could cause problems for both sides?
DeleteNice work!
ReplyDeleteThanks!
Deletereally nice looking figures Ray,
ReplyDeleteThanks Kent.
DeleteSome cool figures to add to your games. Glad to see you are sticking to a visible scale of minis for this challenge.
ReplyDeleteYou could not possibly mean my delicious 2mm figures from last year, can you?
DeleteWonderful monk Ray, I can hear the chanting. Love the grenadiers as well.
ReplyDeleteCheers Bruce!
DeleteGreat entry Ray, anything with Welsh in it deserves a million points bonus
