From DallasE: Challenge XV in the Rear-View Mirror


Well there's another Challenge in the books. Didn't make my points target (what else is new) but did get a good chunk of one new army done and started another one too.

Here's the production over the 13 weeks of the Challenge. Mostly 28mm WW2 Soviets and 15mm Yom Kippur War Israelis with a couple other randoms chucked in. 

Here's some - Belisarius Cawl from the 40K AdMech and some 3D-printed servoskulls - those are fun.

Some of the Bolt Action WW2 Soviets. This was a new project started during the Challenge (well, I guess I'd painted a 1/56 KV-1 from the Bolt Action winter Soviets box, but I'd not started any of the infantry). I'm happy with the progress and unbelievably, we've already had a Continuation War game with them!

Here's the 40 plastic infantry I painted, with some trucks in the background.

Here's the other major project I started - Israeli opponents for my 1973 Egyptians. These are Magach-6s and Zelda M113 APCs. Still have to pick up the infantry and a few M51 Shermans I ordered from Khurasan.

So here's the rundown:

40mm infantry: 7
28mm vehicles: 13
28mm infantry: 67
15mm vehicles: 9
15mm infantry: 6

Thanks to my minion Paul and to Curt and Sarah for putting on the show. It's always a great spur to get stuff painted and I look forward to next year's edition. See you at the afterparty.
