From SanderS: The Challenge is Dead, Long Live The Challenge! (Many points!)

 Hoi there,


Sorry guys for being so late with this post but things happened after the Challenge ended. To me this was a very pleasant Challenge that I enjoyed more than the last two. The passing of my dad two years ago and all the work issues last year made me miss my target, not fully participate in the side duels or bonus rounds and all this I was able to enjoy this year in the full.  It was so energising to see all the stuff you people made and the feedback always is very encouraging and keeps me painting. 

As to what I finished this Challenge, that was way more than I anticipated at the beginning. And of course I forgot to include a lot of it in the picture above: the 1:72 Napoleonic Saxons and Titus and the Nids were sadly left out of the picture, so I include them below

 


A HUGE thank you is of course due to the Snowlord and -Lady! They have done it yet again and I for one am gratefull to have been part of this kick-ass community! The minions deserve bucketloads of praise as well, as I know from experience it's a dastardly task indeed.

Personally I would like to specifically thank Gregarius for keeping me on my toes and inspiring me to get some more Dogs of War painted in the end.

So there you have it, another Challenge finished see you guys next year!
