From MartinC: I appear to be only painting tiny things this year (300 points)

After skipping last week, how I ever found the time for work I'll never know, I'm back on track with loads for 10mm

First up the last Italian Wars figures, one and a half Landsknecht pike blocks. This gives me 8 pike blocks in the army. I'm playing with my BIL on Thursday using these figs and will give him his Saxon units.

I still love the flags

This would be a legion in kings of war, but a mad idea.

Next up Dave and I are doing a 10mm Zulu war campaign, Dave wanted 1000 zulu figures on the table, so I'm the British. Zulu war was my first love in wargaming and I got my 1st metal  figures as a 13 year old boy. So a nice foray. I've already painted up some british infantry and irregular horse but the biggest units are the Natal Native Contingent. 

3x1000 strong battalions

These are Steve Barber figures, very nice but a bit static.

I also had enough to paint a Royal Engineer Company,  a company of Natal Native Pioneers and  spare company of NNC.

We plan a long table campaign, with large British supply columns and the need for lots of scouting. So you need lots of things to scout for

These oxen will double as Zulu cattle herds and laagered British baggage

What better for the scouts to spot, and the officers to hunt, than some lions

Scores on the doors

96 landsknecht = 96 points, plus any sexy flag bonus

166 NNC and British infantry = 166pts

34 oxen and lions = 34 pts

Total 296

TeemuL: Your painted things might be tiny, but they do look great. The flags make them look even better, so I'll give you 4 sexy flag bonus points. The pike block with flags looks good, I agree with you. Your animals to spot and hunt look very lively, they'll make a great additions to your table. And your British battalions may look a bit monotonous, but I'm sure that's just the British discipline. :)
