From PeterD: Picts [40 points]

 A second post from me today with some Picts.

A unit of 6 light infantry javelin men, from the Gripping Beast plastic kit.  These would be drawn from the poorest and or youngest warriors in the tribes, those lacking the equipment to serve in the main war band or with the archers.  I kept the colours very drab and basic.  I had meant to drill out the hands to hold spare javelins but forgot to do so.  Therefore I added some spare ammo to the bases.

A warlord plus retainer with horn, metal figures from Gripping Beast.  These castings have the gritty look of experienced warriors and raiders who acquired some serious kit over the years.

That's eight 28mm foot figures for 40 points with no bonus points.

The javelinmen are always a useful addition to any army, and I in fact like the drab and muted colours you have chosen, Peter. The command base is looking good also, the chieftain with his red manes looks suitably impressive. It has been very nice to see the various additions to your Pictish forces during this Challenge! 40 points it is.
