From MartinC: Quiet Week [Manga] (75 points)

Hi. I've had a quiet week, with a whole weekend of gaming, my Russians fought their 1st battle so no guessing what happened there, and we fought the 1st battle of a Norman invasion of Britain - lost again but the Normans had a pyrrhic victory and I'll kick their arse next time.

So not much time for painting but I have done some.

1st up a small unit if US Cavalry circa 1900. No clue who made them but they will fit into a Back of Beyond campaign

No much to say about these really

The shirts were painted Andrea Blue and then given a blue wash, I really like the effect

Next up my Manga entry. It's not a field I'm an expert in but generally it is sexualised female leads in skimpy schoolgirl or sailor uniforms, brightly coloured hair and ridiculous weapons. Well I'm not searching the internet for Japanese schoolgirls, I'd never get any painting done. I did want to paint Yoshimi Battles the Pink Robots by The Flaming Lips, as it's one of my favourite songs, but schoolgirl uniform problem.

Hasslefree are my go to site for sexy female warriors. 

I think she fits the bill, in her silver catsuit, orange hair and blue sword.

Scores on the doors

US Cavalry

10x28mm infantry = 50

Manga

1x25mm figure = 5

Manga Libray section = 20

TeemuL: Your cavalry looks good, Martin. I bet they will perform as well as your Russians in their first game... But at least you are painting and playing with your toy soldiers, so that is a good thing. I myself managed to play 5 games last year and not a 1 this year... But back to you, I seem to wander a lot today. Yes, the cavalry looks good and I'm with you on the Manga experience, so I'll accept your description and production. Hasslefree does some very sexy female warriors, I have bougth some, but not recently - ordering process to get something from UK to EU is just so painful, slow and complicated. The blue sword and orange hair work nicely with the silver, great colour choices.
