Ready - From EdwardG - A fun lunch time (10pts)

 Hej hej all!!

I'm very sad that it's already the final days of the challenge. But all good things must come to an end to have meaning. So with that in mind I've already started planning the minis in the lead pile to be painted in Challenge XVI 😀 

For my final post I've only got a single mini. I was thinking I could try and shoehorn him into a Bonus category for some extra points. But I realised that would be a real stretch and so he scores just for himself. I manged to paint him during my lunch break while working from home. I'd hoped I could get more minis done during the time, but I got caught up trying to get the blue the correct shade I was looking for and so ran out of time!

He's a Perry metal mini. I know he's a French Knight from their Joan of Arce command pack, but I'm not able to name him. He has cast on heraldry, which I must admit I'm not a fan of. It's 3 bunches of grapes. Not sure if it's a pun on his name, or a silent cry for help in the days before AA. I didn't want to stick to the official colours, so I've given him golden grapes on a blue field. He'll either be the commander or a hero for my French saga warband. 




Points 

1 x 28mm Mounted = 10pts

Just before signing off, I'd like to say it has been wonderful being part of the challenge again this year. Thank you to Martjin my minion for the really supportive comments. And thank you to all for the inspirational minis and painting. I'm really looking forward again to next year already. It's certainly the best way I know to pass the winter months! 

TTFN! 

Ed 😀 

 

Sylvain: A great parting post! A knight in a shiny armor on a big horse is one of the most iconic warrior you can find on a wargaming table and your painting job looks great! I like how you mixed the rocks and the grass on your base. See you at Challenge XVI!

  2. The character is La Hire - Blason Etienne de Vignolles a companion of Jehanne who fought alongside side her at Orleans and Patay. A great leader for your force. Strictly the grapes should be argent on a field sable.
