From JamieM - Wild West Exodus Greys (30 points)

Just a small submission from me this week - some grey aliens from the Wild West Exodus game.

I doubt I’ll ever play them in Wild West Exodus (although the rules are apparently getting a reboot, so you never know) and I’ve used the previous figures I’ve painted from this line in post apocalyptic games. Did they cause the apocalypse? Are they just taking advantage of the carnage? Or did they get shot down and, like ET, are just trying to get home? (I’m pretty sure everyone reading this of a certain generation just said “Phone Home” in their best ET accent…..)

Nice and simple colour scheme and they’re ready to abduct some cows. I’m not a huge fan of all of the sculpts (a little bit too much "Jazz Hands" going on) but I can live with it.

I think this is possibly the last scheduled Thursday round before the free fire starts, so I’ll take the opportunity to thank Greg the minion for being an absolute gentleman and a scholar whilst herding and scoring the Thursday crew’s work! It wouldn’t be the challenge without the minions taking time out of painting schedules to comment and publish the posts, so thank you.

Simple scoring with six 28mm figures for 30 points.

Cheers Jamie! Great to see you back with another batch of UK Labour Party MPs...I had no idea so many sculpts of them were available in 28mm...oh...wait...ah, I see, these are ACTUAL aliens! Brilliant! 

I enjoy the painting very much, but as is so often the case, is the casual sentiments about the hobby on the side that I relate to so much and are such a great part of the Painting Challenge. Figures for a game that one hasn't played, and may or may not ever play, but might be getting a reboot but...ah, whatever, they look fun and they fit with a different game, so away we go! I've no doubt many here will relate :)

Thinking back to the opening time of AHPC XVI, I seem to recall that you had multiple version of a plan in place - plan A, plan B, plan E, etc. And I bet these fellows were not even "plan F" - but you got them over the line. Well done!

It's been a treat to have you on the Thursday crew Jamie! Keep those brushes moving until things conclude! Until then, another 30 points for you.
