From Millsy: 28mm WW2 British Army Regulars (100 points)

G'day All,

I figured since I agreed to participate in the WW2 Side Duel that I should make at least a token effort to get something painted and submitted.

These are 1st Corps miniatures painted up as British Army Regulars in Normandy '44. Great fun to paint and super fast too. Unlike everything else I've done this year these flew by. Just 3.5 hours from undercoat last night.



The submission represents the start of a Bolt Action force - command, medium mortar and one of three infantry squads. There's also a light mortar team which has no place in Bolt Action (boo!) but came with the army deal so I've painted them anyway. I believe they do have use in Chain of Command.



Hope you like em!

Points wise I've managed to pass my target right at the death. Serves me right for not painting more quick stuff right?
  • 18 x 28mm infantry = 90 points
  • 1 x 28mm crew served weapon = 5 points
Total = 95 points

So that's my Challenge done for another year. I never tire of these and have great appreciation for Curt and Sarah for the effort they put in to making these happen. Thank you both! Thanks also to my wonderful crop of Antipodean charges, our regular paint-and-chat sessions are the highlight of my week.

See you next year!

Cheers,
Millsy

TeemuL: Going over the target just in time, how precise! I'm quite sure you had this all planned on Excel spreadsheet at the start of the Challenge? The minis look great and provide at least something for the side duel of yours. Now just rest and recovery for the next nine months before this happy mayhem starts again! Thank you for your efforts regarding this Challenge, Millsy!
P.S. Crew served weapons are worth 10 points in 28mm, so 100 points to you. Yeah, we can arque what counts as a crew served weapon, but we can't argue with the Spreadsheet...
