Squirrel Duel - First Update

    Hello all Squirrellers, and welcome to the first update for the Squirrel Duel.


    It is still early days for the challenge yet, and many members of the family Sciuridae are huddling in their nests for warmth during these cold months, and so are many of our duelists it seems. I have checked through the posts with the Squirrel label and cross-checked with individual posts by everyone who said that they were interested in joining the Squirrel Duel. I know that some of our contestants may have posts in the queue waiting for their posting day/time, so I apologise if you feel that you missed out. I will count your Squirrels the next time I prepare an update. 

    So, without further ado, here is the current scoreboard, with challengers listed in alphabetical order.

    Now, there is one small point that needs to be cleared up. Our illustrious/infamous Snowlord has posted three entries with the Squirrel label so far, but one of those entries wasn't for a full point.

Curt's beautifully painted Raven Guard

    There were only three figures in this entry, which means Curt owes 2 more Raven Guard to earn the full Squirrel. Now, I am sure that he is good for it, (and he even acknowledges it in the post in question), so I have counted the entry for now. However, I will be monitoring his posts carefully to ensure that he follows through. I'm honestly hoping Curt paints more of these figures anyway, because they look fantastic. 

    We have only scratched the surface of the Squirrel Side Duel so far, and already we have had some varied and interesting entries. Here are a handful of the ones we have had so far.
    
Kerry's camel cavalry

MartinC's adorable halflings

Ray's retreat from Moscow

Killian's Zona Alfa explorers

    Thank you for all of the Squirrel entries so far, I look forward to seeing what other fantastic miniatures get painted up to join our side duel.

  3. I have re-read the original post and the question I had before has now been answered. Am I OK to join in once I get my first proper post in?
