Duels & Challenges: The Victors and the Butcher's Bill!


I'm finally home again after a month of travel - so its time for the big reveal for Duels and Sidechallenges. Any disputes must be written in triplicate, sent in, send back, queried, lost, found, subjected to public inquiry, lost again, and finally buried in soft peat for 3 months and recycled as firelighters. Thankyou.

And for added interest- the pics are the first thing that came up when I searched each Duel title in Google

So, Farewell Then Challenge XIV - From PeteF


 


It's hard to believe that this is it for Challenge XIV.  The time flew by once again.  Thank you Curt.  Thank you Kyle The Sunday Minion.  Thank you Other Minions and organizers.  Thank you Fellow Challengers.

It was not my highest output - but now I work full time I'm happy I got this lot painted after a very slow start in December.  I had some Minifigs Napoleonics in the queue but didn't get them painted in the allotted time.  I did have a large cavalry unit planned for the Antique/Rare books section which I started during the challenge and finished yesterday - not worth any points but here they are! 

6th Chasseurs a Cheval




Although I have a family tradition of Napoleonics, Kings of War - a fantasy rank and flank game from Mantic - is the the game I spend most time playing.  This Challenge I added to my Nightstalkers army with the completion of the gribbly Bloodworms Legions, my Forces of Nature with a Greater Air Elemental and started a new army with the Phoenix.




I'd have procrastinated most of this without the motivation of The Challenge and hope to be back next year to continue to chip away at the Pile of Potential.
