From EdwardG - 28mm (kinda) Swiss for SAGA AoC [40pts]

 Hello all!

So very happy to be back taking part in the painting challenge! I've got a massive lead pile (don't we all!) And great, certainly delusional,  plans to make a significant dent into it this challenge. As a family we've recently been joined by our second child, so painting time is even more limited! But I am managing to grab 30min here and there. So, look forward to an eclectic mix of table ready quality minis in many different scales from me this year :) hopefully. Sadly though, I'm not sure I've got much that fits into the challenge locations, so I'll not be gaining many bonus points this year.

First up, I present a round 8 of Perry miniatures. The bodies are all from the plastic French Agincourt kit, with heads from an mix of different kits. Annoyingly it seems that the Perries changed their neck connection somewhere between two generations of plastic kits. Made kitbashing a little more of a pain than it might have been. 

The minis have been painted up in a totally imaginary livery colours. They're to join my current project of trying to get a SAGA Agr of Chivalry Swiss force painted up for a competition at the end of January. I've been hamstrung a little as the supplement book was supposed to be published in the summer, still hasn't appeared. So I'm not sure exactly how many minis I need to paint. So I'll keep painting until the day and see what kind of force I can build. I've gone with the imaginary livery as I'm rather bored of only seeing red/white, black/yellow or blue/white colours on Swiss minis.

For points that should be:

8x 5pts = 40pts

Hope everyone has an enjoyable rest of the festive holiday! And see you all soon! 

Best, 

Ed

Lovely work Ed. Yes, I think we all suffer from a somewhat over-optimistic expectation of what we can achieve over the three months of the Challenge, but that's all a part of the fun, right? Congratulations on the new addition to your family. I laud your efforts to try to carve out time here and there to work on your hobbies. Sanity is key! :) These Swiss-adjacent chaps look the business with their green and yellow livery cutting the dash and being quite fashion-forward. I hope the army book shows up for you before your upcoming tournament, but at least you should be ready for whatever it reveals. Well done!
