From ChrisW: Send in the Ladies (85 points)

 

A rushed post this week as I type this just before I fly away to somewhere warm. Perhaps my rushing around could explain the blurry pictures, but, really it is my skill and a really old camera (they made digital cameras back then)

Anyways what I lack in clarity I shall make up in volume of pictures, hopefully some aspect of the picture will offset the blur.

These are Dragonbait miniatures who have a few VSF figures. The ladies are mounted on mono wheeled metal unicorns, kind of weird. but kind of cool. I have painted up 5 of the cavalry figures that I own, the others were not assembled and primed (somehow missed them)  Some contrast for the skirts, helmets and red coat but more conventional for the rest of the uniform and for highlights. 

I rather like the AP speed paint metal that I used on the unicorn rumps, it really creates a contrast between the raised bits and the rest of it. I still used a wash on the Unicorns as I wanted them to look like they had seen action and not just the parade ground. I have created a banner for the cavalry  (courtesy of AI) but could not get it mounted in  time. You may note that the riders have not been glued down as I may adjust the handle bars later on.

I also have done up a rocket launcher with a four person crew and a supply mule. (this time a mechanical mono wheel mule) 

These are on the large size of 28mm, but do blend in well enough with my other VSF stuff. I also have a unit of ten riflewomen that were almost done in time for this week, but alas not.

Points this time

• 50  points for 5x 28mm mounted troops
• 30  points for 28mm gun & 4 crew 
•   5  points for 28mm mechanical mule

SylvainR: Very cool ladies. It looks like they are dressed in Union Jacks. Regarding the miniatures, I thought "wacky" and "wow" were two incompatible concepts, but I've got proven wrong with your post. If you ever use them in a game, maybe you could post a few non-blur pictures. Extraordinaire!
