For my 1st post of the day I submit for your amazement and wonder Germans & Jellyfish. I know, they make a very strange combination post, but that is part of the fun with the challenge coming up with some strange bedfellows.
The Jellyfish warriors are part of a project that has sat in limbo for years, a Wrath of Kings force or sea warriors. These Jellyfish come from an undersea kingdom that has all sorts of sea creatures anthropomorphized into humanoid type warriors. If I get around to them later in the challenge you may see shark, fish, whale, and crab people from this faction, but no promises as they are pretty far down the queue. I had to get these warriors done though as I did the unit leader a few years ago for a theme entry and he has sat without his squad in my case since then.
Next up are 20 more germans from my old second edition Bolt Action set, which I must have bought an extra box of since looking at the core box set it said it only came with 10 and a half-track, but I still have 10 more after this to paint up, so not sure how or why I ended up with 40, but it's all good.
These were done quick and fast to just get them on the table after all these years hiding in a box, so nothing fancy. 10 more to go and then I will need to find some civilian models to make up the Van Trapp family so they can hunt them down across the fields :-)
This post has 26 models but 1 was painted previously in another challenge so that leaves 25 models and 5 points each for a 125 points in this entry. See you later today with another post.

I am indeed amazed and wonderous at your German-Jelly hybrids, from Das Innzmouth perhaps Bryon?
The colourful jellies are a lot of fun and look like they have come right off a coral reef!

Well Done! These minis make me feel like getting soldiers for evening games of Bolt Action as well as getting jelly for my morning toast!
ReplyDeleteFighting jellyfish eh? Those are excellent
ReplyDeleteThe colorful jelly soldiers look great. Never saw them before.
ReplyDeleteThose jelly soldiers are so innovative! Good job!
ReplyDeleteThose jellyfish warriors look very interesting and great. And it is an age old wisdom in mini painting, paint the leader better than the group, so I think you are safe - apart from yourself, of course.
ReplyDeleteCracking on Bryon, great work on the jellies!
ReplyDeleteExcellent and fun looking jelly fish warriors and nice Germans!
ReplyDeleteBest Iain
I’ve painted some of the jellyfish models and they are great fun, nice job
ReplyDeleteThose jellyfish look deadly enough to come from Australia!, well done Byron.
ReplyDeleteI see no reason both sets of figures from this post cannot appear in the same game!
ReplyDeleteGerman's and jellyfish, two things that don't normally go together in a sentence!! Great painting though, Sir!
ReplyDeleteGreat combo Byron. Well done.
ReplyDeleteVery well done! Especially those whacky jellyfish
ReplyDeleteNice, if that's the right word for the jellyfish. The Germans look good too!
