From ArthurS: The Final Post (5 points)

 Hello Everyone,

While I really like painting, there's loads of other things I also like and therefore when I reach my points target I am usually content to leave it at that. But this year I managed to find a figure I really liked a lot. This is a Turtle Spellcaster that I intend to use for DnD. His name is Serus Fernblood. 




The producer of this lovely miniature is Goose Miniatures, I bought him as my first online purchase with my own pocketmoney, but didn't notice it is a company located in the lands of the Snowlord. Since delivery from the Frozen Chaos Wastes takes forever, he almost didn't arrive before the Challenge ended. Luckily he came in time and I have painted him up. 

As he is a single 28mm figure he adds another 5 points to the total in the list for me. We tried to get a Blogger account for me so I could reply to all your excellent posts, but I am apparantly too young. We will try again next year, even if we have to cheat a little.

Wonderful work Arthur!

Yes, the postal 'service' in the Lands of the Chaos Wastes can be a bit of a Challenge at the best of times (but we make up for it with excellent curling bonspiels and poutine... Sorry, that's the best I can come up with... *shrugs*).  Nonetheless, I'm delighted that Serus arrived in time for you to get him painted before the curtains closed on this year's event. He's a great mini! I especially like the flames in his hands and his glowing blue eyes. I hope he gives you good service in your upcoming D&D games!

Thanks for joining us again Arthur! I very much look forward to seeing what you have for us next Challenge.  Take care and have a great Spring!
