From: KentG 28mm ancients Goth force, cavalry and foot by Footsore Miniatures (530pts)

So for my second entry I chose to do a Goth force by footsore miniatures 
I really love footsore miniatures the details are so nice and sharp.
 I did get a bit carried away and on Boxing Day painted from about 9.30 am through to about 1.30am the next morning 

I have to admit I am envious of most of you who write so many great
Things about your minis and why you are doing them, I’m not really that great at that part 
So I hope the pictures show my passion for painting.
These figures are going to a friend who I did a swap painting for his minis. 
I then sold his minis to help raise funds to build tiny homes in Ukraine. 

Also thought I’d say for photos do don’t use any programs to enhance 
The photos I just use an A1 white piece of light card bent at a 90 degree bend
With the LED light I use for painting, the camera is an older digital cannon























Below a couple of quick shots of the figures together 


Ok so we have
31 x 28mm cavalry @10pts = 310pts
44 x 28mm foot @ 5pts = 220
Total 530pts


From Millsy:
The one thing I know when I see a post from you Kent is that I'll be staggered by your output. I shouldn't be after all this time, especially talking and painting together every week, yet still it happens.

This is an astonishing amount of stuff, as much because of the consistency of high quality as anything. The amount of colour variation and all the shields just adds to the wow factor.

Well done indeed mate. 530 points catapults you to the top of the chart, ending my overnight reign of terror in one post. Love it!

Cheers,
Millsy

    That's a right lovely Goth force. What rules are you planning to use it for?

  9. Beautiful work. I always love those dragon(?) standards that look like they would have flapped menacingly in the wind.

    1. It's funny I never really think about the output and quality to much until we do these challenges as it's pretty close to my normal. But the comments do make me appreciate that maybe I am slightly crazy

  11. I’ll just hang up my brushes now! Your Boxing Day marathon exceeds my challenge goal in points and is done to a waaay higher standard.

    Amazing stuff!
