ChristopherS: Pyrrhic stone/rock throwers and slingers (40pts.)

I was hoping to post two units, but the other one will take a bit longer so decided to post just this one as it's finished and I can get it off the desk and into the cabinet. They are two skirmish units for my Pyrrhic army for TtS or Impetus.

I know you can field slingers, but I'm not sure if I can field stone/rock throwers however I thought they looked cool so decided to paint some up. If I can't use them as such then I'll use them as slingers or javelinmen or something.

The figures are from the fantastic Aventine range and were an absolute pleasure to paint. However, last I looked I didn't see these available for purchase as I thought about getting some more. Perhaps I just missed them or they will come back in stock at some point. The paints I used were mostly Foundry with some Vallejo as usual.

That's 8x 28mm miniatures for 40pts. That brings my challenge to a close for this year. I didn't paint up as much as I would have liked, but I never do. Although I didn't reach my point goal the units I did do I'm happy with the results and am motivated to continue doing more Pyrrhic units as I'm not too far off at being able to field a small army which is the whole reason for this for me and of course the participation. I'd like to thank Curt and the minions for a job well done!

Fabulous looking skirmishers, Christopher. As usual, you treat us to both your excellent brushwork and terrific basing. I think the owner of Aventine has recently retired, but I hope the range is picked-up by someone else as the figures are fantastic. Anyway, a great closing entry for you, Christopher. I look forward to seeing you with us for the next edition.
