From KentG: Temple guards and command figures (80pts)

This week could be my last as life is about to get very busy

Might get something else up but if not I’ve had a great time

It’s been a absolute joy to be part of the challenge, an so much fun 

To paint my own figures except a few

Decided to do a few temple guard and command figures

The temple guards are from Grey for now games

These guys are resin and from fireforge games

Resin is never my favourite but turned out pretty good I think

Points 

Foot 12 x 5pts = 60pts

Cavalry 2 x 10pts = 20 pts 

Total = 80pts

From Millsy:

In a rush with real life so I don't have the time to say something pertinent I'm afraid! Nice work mate, especially the mounted dudes.

Cheers,
Millsy

From MattW - Napoleonic, ACW, Roman’s and Aliens oh my! (140 points)

 Napoleonic, ACW, Roman’s and Aliens 

Finally back from our 10 week vacation in Australia, I was keen to hit the painting desk and have been really productive over the last 14 days getting a lot painted. I missed last Friday’s  deadline as I went to wargames and forgot to take photos…..

First up eight Perry Plastic dismounted Dragoons, these have been in my stash for over 10 years now, great to finally get them completed. 

8 Napoleonic figures @ 5 points = 40 points 

I also painted some  ACW bits, a Confederate band and a farrier from Dixon minatures range. 

9 ACW figures @5 points  = 45

Back to my neglected Roman’s for my Gangs of Rome project, I still have a lot more to do with this collection, including buildings. The figure will be able to be a civilian, slaver or a gang member, and two camels. 

Three 28mm figures @ 5 points = 15 poinrs

Finally for Christmas I received the Aliens another glorious day for the corps board-game, I decided to paint the Xenomorph’s first, I elected for a green blue colour on my first batch, quite happy with the result. 

8 x 28mm figures  @ 5 points = 40 points

Totals 

Twenty eight 28mm foot figures @5 points  = 140 points 

Squirrel 4 points 

Napoleonic 

ACW

Roman’s

From SteveG: Carthage and The naughty Gallic boy (145 points)

 1st up are some very nice "Punic Citizens Cavalry"    3D prints by Resin Warfare. 28mm 

Then comes the tale of a naughty Gallic boy. One night he crept into the local Roman Camp and painted some shields with white paint.  Discovered at the end of his escapade  he flees for his life past unimpressed women folk and farmers. His brother looks on hoping he wont be blamed.  The town dogs show varying levels of interest. The irate Romans approach the town chief whilst some  Gallic warrior, alarmed at all the commotion, prepare for the worst.   

where is that little swine ?  

Wotgivesarix hopes to placate the Romans with roast pork and mead. It's always worked before! 

otherwise his stunted bodyguard may be needed.  

so points  ....

4 x cav = 40 

16x humans and dogs = 80 

oxen and cart w rooster  = 15 points 

so  150 I guess ? [145 after I adjusted the cart score - Millsy]

From Millsy:

Another jam packed submission of ancient goodness mate!

The cart in particular (scored as a vehicle - 10 points) is really flavourful and the timber effect is spot on. I also noted what looks like one of those new fangled patterned cloaks made from real fabric on the driver. Is that right?

145 more points is a great haul for this late on when the enthusiasm is starting to ebb. Nice work.

Cheers,

Millsy

From GeoffT: Aliens, fantasy and pirates (76 points)

Hello challengers,

I have a mixture here this week.

The first image is two alien monstrosities for Stargrave.  We have an Ursoric, a giant bear like creature with scorpion tails protruding from its shoulders.  Next is an Arsendryder, an intelligent arsenic based life form, that appears like a camel without a hump, long front legs and short back legs and a rocky skin.  These monsters are made from cutting up cheap plastic toys to match the description in the rules supplement called bold endeavour.  They appear in one scenario with a less than 50% chance of turning up.  I expect they are there for people who like making things.  With the author’s propensity to describe camel, scorpion and hyena hybrids, those plastic toys are always on my shopping list.

These are hobgoblins but citadel miniatures, from the mid 1980s.  Rescued from a second hand collection.

Next are two more second hand minis.  On the left is a very old miniature of unknown origins, probably a necromancer as she has a thigh bone in one hand and a curved dagger in the other.  The one on the right is a complete adventurer from reaper bones.

More pirates, seven of them and a ships wheel.

This weeks minis together for scale.  As you can see the monsters are quite big. About 50mm tall each.

Total points, there are 11 x  28mm foot for 5 points each, two monsters around 54mm for 10 points each and a ships wheel mini, which was pretty minimal effort to paint, so maybe 1 point for an estimated total of 76 points.

From Millsy:

Nice to see someone else giving some classic lead a bit of love mate. There's a clear scale discrepancy between the necromancer and adventurer but your top paint job and matched basing, plus a little cunning thinker base work means it's not really that noticeable if you are not looking for it.

The pirates are once again a great mob and added to your efforts thus far mean you really do have a significant collection now. Nice work!

76 more gold doubloons for your total Geoff. Love em.

Cheers,

Millsy
