From DallasE: Germans in the Travel section! (105 points)

Arriving in the Travel stack with some more hairy dudes! I've painted 17 more ancient Germanic tribesmen with spears for this entry.

Now a bit of a word about "Travel"... the section description is "something that impressed you from your own travels." Well, my late wife Pam and I visited Germany on our second Euro-expedition back in 2012 and it was an amazing trip. We visited the Porsche and Mercedes-Benz museums in Stuttgart, drove a rented car on the Nurburgring Nordschleife, and did all kinds of other cool stuff, including visiting the ancient Roman town of Trier. Now that was such a cool visit, if you haven't been, it's awesome. Nestled in the valley of the Mosel river, Trier is reputedly Germany's oldest city, founded by the Romans in 16 BC as "Augusta Treverorum" (the city of Augustus among the Treverii). There are still heaps of Roman ruins and structures to visit in the city and the Porta Negra (Black Gate) dates back to the 4th century. So it was always gonna be some ancient Germans or Early Imperial Romans in this stack, and I've gone with the Germans. Trier is in modern Germany after all. 

Here is the gang of 17 painted for this post. The three command models in the top photo were painted for a previous Challenge entry.

Models are from Wargames Foundry with shields and decals from Warlord Games.

I particularly like the chap on the right end of the line - he reminds me of a young Conan :-)

Anyway there's 17 more done for my WAB army. I think next I might paint some more Romans.

Scoring:

17 28mm infantry x 5 points = 85 points

Travel section bonus = 20 points

Total: 105 points

Cheers!

Great work on these Germanic Warriors here. Very bright and lively, ready to take to the Romans and give them what for indeed! Also great explanation of the travel aspect.. haven't been to Trier yet, but have been to Stuttgart and the Nurburgring. Always a great time when near there!

105 pts for you!
