The last day of this year's AHPC is here and I have a final offering for you. As the title suggests it has two different themes in two different scales.
Firstly, here are the Romano Brits from Forged in Battle miniatures and these are the start of an ADLG army for this period.
A simple start with a command stand consisting of a general and Christian priest. Don't worry there is a Pagan stand planned for balance.
Whilst there will be colour across the army I will be using a lot of muted colours for a Dark Age feel and the general's cloak will carry across some cavalry stands in the future. At my current pace of painting this may well be in next year's AHPC.
Next up are the only light cavalry in the army, all two stands of them; unlike the hedge of spearmen that makes the army's backbone.
The muted colours making another appearance here along with a simple hand painted shield design across the units. It's just enough to catch the eye on the table.
Now the last figure from me for AHPC XV, a retro Citadel Dwarf from the haydays of the early 1980's. Still on his original pre-slotta base:
This figure has been stripped down and painted for the last time, roughly forty years after first buying him in my FLGS (now long gone).
Opting for a simple colour scheme to let the armour do its job of impressing everyone around it. Not to mention the longsword.,,
Started as a central figure for a regiment of Shieldbreakers in Kings of War that sadly has stalled for now.

So, there ends AHPC for this year a few things moved on, a few things stalled and a few that just didn't start for varying.
The points for these few figures tally as:
15mm cavalry x 5 @ 4 points each = 20
15mm infantry x 1 @ 2 points each = 2
25mm infantry x 1 @ 5 points = 5
Totalling 27 points.
Looking forward to seeing the last entries over the next day or so and seeing you all again in the darker nights.
A huge thank you to the Snowlord for organising this again and to everyone who helped as a minion and as a participant. A great body of work you have all contributed!
Cheers for now!

Love the 15mm Dark Ages stuff Ross - its a great scale for getting a good feel of massed forces, and your muted colours give them an appropriately dreary pre-colourfast dye look to them :-) I hope we get to see more next Challenge.
The Dwarf is a true relic - great sculpt full of nostalgic goodness! What a cracking fellow to close out on. Congratulations for completing your Challenge this year - go celebrate with a couple of bonus points for resurrecting a figure you've had for 40 years!
