Here you will find the fabulous, fevered work of miniature painters from around the world. While participants come from every ethnicity, gender, age and nationality, they have three things in common: they love miniatures, they enjoy a supportive community, and they want to set themselves against the Challenge.
This site features the current year's event along with the archives of past Painting Challenges.
Enjoy your visit and remember to come back soon.Curthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03202047917371080576noreply@blogger.comBlogger9097125tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1391427662737871662.post-73571491132393679062024-03-18T21:33:00.008-06:002024-03-18T21:33:48.262-06:00From ByronM - Last post(?) - More Turnip28 and Arena Rex [35 points]<p><span style="font-family: helvetica;">I seem to have gotten more done in the last week or two of the challenge than the whole rest of the challenge... sigh.

If Teemu can post Napoleonic Highlanders, I can post, Space Wolves! These are definitely overdue, I put this little army in a box and gave up on them when the "new" codex came out in 2009 and decided I'd given up on 40k and GW and haven't bought a 40k figure for myself since then. These won't get used for 40k, I got fed up painting an army only to find the codex changed and I needed something else, doesn't happen with historical armies! </p><p>One of the family wargamers said why don't we do do something with all the scifi figures we've got and having played a lot of Lion Rampant it was only natural to order during the Osprey sale Xenos Rampant and I thought I know that box thats been living in the loft and various lock ups, I'm sure I've got a Space Wolves army I could finish off and here it is, two units of blood claws a squad of grey hunters, long fangs, terminators, scouts, rune priest and some others I can't remember! Good fun , easy to paint, you've got to give it to GW they're stuffs good and it was nice to step back in time and paint some space marines! </p><p>Still back to Late Romans and Napoleonics after this!</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both;

Wonderful work on these Sons of Fenris, Iain. Their grey, white and red livery looks great and I like that you've returned to these figures after 15 years - Just enough seasoning for proper painting, I think. I have to agree with your assessment of GW's rules and so am heartened to hear that you're using alternatives rules to give these figures the love that they deserve. One other ruleset I can recommend is One Page Rules. As I like to say, it gives you all the horse without the sh*t. :)</span></i></p><p><i><span style="font-family: helvetica;">Even though you couldn't comment as much as you liked, it was wonderful having you with us again this year, Iain.

My 20 year letter hit for 25 years of service. That means of all the time devoted to all military years, five did not achieve enough points for a qualifying year. I will still enjoy the benefits of those years of service in pay though. I had 120 days to get my packet in and that is a lot of records to go through and meetings, additional classes, and more time devoted but all making sure every achievement, school, deployment, and awards are documented and represented. Lunatic fringe was the breakaway song my ship the USS Halsey CG-23 used for underway replenishments back in the 80's the Navy had 6 years in those 25. Since 120 is the days for the packet, my battalion decided 90 days is better. I have been on the road for work, school, and military and then straight to the brushes when at home. The last photos are a project that I started the first day of the challenge and has been in bare foam since summer. The following are not so much for that particular project but every maritime themed alternate I have been painting on the desk and not submitted...I may get a smaller post out before midnight. I got back from drill Sunday night, but averaging three hours of sleep there meant I barely built the post and placed photos Sunday night. </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: helvetica;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: helvetica;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEggIBUeLbD7dnjQXnkKy9pHhjZZNr_piz2QcEuqVnK5_GkfPYqQk6Q_C4nfQZMcGfh5UgktCGWudnrec1ld9aMYU8Q932Lqo4J3MN2QOZ8jhOMD3VFeInIOaOeEWyeATr4DTCrw2WQfDeVU-OR_A79nlviGvTqi4zOYKJlrCh2MHiLGllPPM6hLAlOViY7k/s3456/20240317_211957.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="font-family: helvetica;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3456" data-original-width="3456" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEggIBUeLbD7dnjQXnkKy9pHhjZZNr_piz2QcEuqVnK5_GkfPYqQk6Q_C4nfQZMcGfh5UgktCGWudnrec1ld9aMYU8Q932Lqo4J3MN2QOZ8jhOMD3VFeInIOaOeEWyeATr4DTCrw2WQfDeVU-OR_A79nlviGvTqi4zOYKJlrCh2MHiLGllPPM6hLAlOViY7k/s320/20240317_211957.jpg" width="320" /></span></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: helvetica;">So the Carnevale Lady Doc leads the Cart to the Maritime section.</span></div></div><span style="font-family: helvetica;"><br /><br /></span><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjasY1mWkOXmyaNnzX70-IrhCv7At2uXAdg9ITP7NkXWG9gc3YhtkfL4TMBaI6b8oydKUIn8fHKmYbKcQwQ7eqljQUJmy4DHXbWUyGEbWLjOQAn9PEx2ZYWhgOYnSZE7F-RcvyjV7gxMFjC6Y5XolhQLfgXNXgbNR8AbLZvilz920zszlCe62gQbz60W0Hx/s3456/20240317_212211.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="font-family: helvetica;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3456" data-original-width="3456" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjasY1mWkOXmyaNnzX70-IrhCv7At2uXAdg9ITP7NkXWG9gc3YhtkfL4TMBaI6b8oydKUIn8fHKmYbKcQwQ7eqljQUJmy4DHXbWUyGEbWLjOQAn9PEx2ZYWhgOYnSZE7F-RcvyjV7gxMFjC6Y5XolhQLfgXNXgbNR8AbLZvilz920zszlCe62gQbz60W0Hx/s320/20240317_212211.jpg" width="320" /></span></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: helvetica;">The Scarif shore troopers are a favorite version of storm troopers from an excellent Star Wars movie.</span></div><span style="font-family: helvetica;"><br /></span><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhwAb3wIHidyzHMGTtV_Kk-jihxJPZnWSZQ6RrEq8axo7y-n9Y0DKJofXGe3lo_Bd-OoOkvDHui8Gz2ldD7YSMUfiIXQ08p2vNi0AnXTrHhAvqBXNEWNnc19ZBVSxRxzHd0nxJlq3U9_2lzH5xUu0ZtiGtFAgaIUxC1aUipvDtaS8K0Xx_afvdun68GwBST/s3456/20240317_212238.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="font-family: helvetica;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3456" data-original-width="3456" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhwAb3wIHidyzHMGTtV_Kk-jihxJPZnWSZQ6RrEq8axo7y-n9Y0DKJofXGe3lo_Bd-OoOkvDHui8Gz2ldD7YSMUfiIXQ08p2vNi0AnXTrHhAvqBXNEWNnc19ZBVSxRxzHd0nxJlq3U9_2lzH5xUu0ZtiGtFAgaIUxC1aUipvDtaS8K0Xx_afvdun68GwBST/s320/20240317_212238.jpg" width="320" /></span></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: helvetica;">I used contrast to block in the color then used triads air color from army painter to clean them up.

The leatherwork is fantastic, you may have had your doubts about the colours but they work very well and the overall effect is fabulous. What a great piece! I think the photos don't do the Malifaux figures enough justice, but they look great too. A great post, Byron! I am not entirely sure about the maths, there is no 35mm category and it is not really possible to judge the size of the KD figure, so I went along with your suggestion and scored it as a 54mm figure. In any case 10 points seems fair. So, 40 in total,let's hope we'll see you back later today!</i></p><p><i>Martijn </i></p><p><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /></p>ByronMhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11290492763955225660noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1391427662737871662.post-35142097315943818592024-03-18T13:45:00.001-06:002024-03-18T13:45:24.979-06:00From TomL: Clearing the Desk (220 points)<p>The AHPC challenge of trying to post something weekly coupled with the wonderfully addictive nature of the Library theme generator really pushed my output and cleared out some boxes of unpainted figures. <br /><br />Thanks again to Curt, Sarah, Millsy and all of the minions for all the time & effort it takes to put on the AHPC.

It was built in the 1720 by the renowned French sculptor and painter Ramon Mentuer Pantalon de Feu. It took just over a year to construct, and as it neared completion, Ramon succumbed to a yellow fever that also took his wife and 6 French art students and labourers who accompanied him to Saint-Domingue from his studio in Mensonges,a suburb of Paris. The four un-named students who survived finished the work of the fountain.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">The statue was damaged by a runaway donkey and cart in the late 1780, when St Dominic's pointing arm was broken off, I have chosen to keep the arm in place and not snap it off, for art's sake!!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">The statue and fountain can still be found in Cap-Francis, or rather Port Royal as it is known today.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEimhOWMWfUARBzqfZP4G3EVM1x3hyO5FQ_kqIDZc41oucR2ddsE1S9QZdYngXy3hWm09-aBLb7QQsq54JIjiVSfJS_1YixHeY8mXBUucyfrLRvvcKcDHuezBedNN3xLF8Efo_oQn1GHE-GXZA46TAn9ThXTkGgQx3ACf1W-TEv-L-5rTxaPYk4GcgIOXpkC/s3442/20240318_095341.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEimhOWMWfUARBzqfZP4G3EVM1x3hyO5FQ_kqIDZc41oucR2ddsE1S9QZdYngXy3hWm09-aBLb7QQsq54JIjiVSfJS_1YixHeY8mXBUucyfrLRvvcKcDHuezBedNN3xLF8Efo_oQn1GHE-GXZA46TAn9ThXTkGgQx3ACf1W-TEv-L-5rTxaPYk4GcgIOXpkC/s3442/20240318_095341.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2776" data-original-width="3442" height="323" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEimhOWMWfUARBzqfZP4G3EVM1x3hyO5FQ_kqIDZc41oucR2ddsE1S9QZdYngXy3hWm09-aBLb7QQsq54JIjiVSfJS_1YixHeY8mXBUucyfrLRvvcKcDHuezBedNN3xLF8Efo_oQn1GHE-GXZA46TAn9ThXTkGgQx3ACf1W-TEv-L-5rTxaPYk4GcgIOXpkC/w400-h323/20240318_095341.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><div style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: left;">The fountain is from <a href="http://www.tablescape.co.uk/Catalogue/Mediterranean/MediterraneanRange.htm">Tablescape</a> in the UK.

I cannot believe how quickly this challenge has gone. Its been inspirational to see all of your minis and thank you all so much for the kind comments give posted on my few entries. I've been rather poor at completing minis this challenge. I've had half painted minis sitting around the painting desk since December, and they're still there! 😀 Partly to blame is my disjointed painting time, but most of it stems from a rather terrible "oooh shiney" infection. </p><p>So without further dithering and fluff, I present my final offering to the great 14th Challenge:</p><p>- A Spanish 15mm DBA army</p><p>- More 6mm Napoleonics</p><p>- A fraction of my Cold War British 6mm target</p><p>Starting from the bottom of the list, I present the Cold War 6mm British. I'd had high hopes of getting those project fully completed this year, but not to be. The project started before COVID and in the time to the start of the challenge I'd only managed to get one Regiment of Challenger tanks off the painting table. The rest of the minis have sat in varying stages of primed and bare metal. Which means that the painted miniatures below don't look at all coherent! Hopefully it's not too obvious, and in the end I blame the British Army Paint procurement process ;)</p><p>The Orbat below is one I've been studying and tinkering with for a while. The basis is the British 3rd Armoured Division of the BAOR in 1985. There doesn't seem to be a huge amount of information on this Division on the Web for this time period. The reason I picked the 3rd Division in 1985 is because it was the only moment when I could find the Queen's Royal Irish Hussars (QRIH) and a Guards battalion on the same Orbat in Germany. I've a family connection to the QRIH and the Guards. Both of my grandfathers (sadly both now passed) were officers on each one, respectively. My father's father was commissioned into the 4th Hussars (a pre-amalgamation Regiment of the QRIH) in 1948 and served until he shifted sideways onto the diplomatic scene in the 1960s [https://www.qrhmuseum.com/obituary-col-g-a-g-gilhead] My mother's father was a Guards officer in the Coldstream Guards leaving the battalion a Major to take up life in the city as an insurance underwriter at Lloyd's of London, specialising in aircraft. Famously, in the family, being the lead for insuring Concord but being unable to take up his complimentary ticket on the inaugural flight because my grandmother didn't trust any infernal flying machine that didn't have a prop propeller! </p><p>Hence the wish to remember them a little with this Orbat. That said their era was the 1950s and 1960s, but the other wargamers here in Hamburg have collections for the 1980s. Hence the shift forward 25yrs. 😀</p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEj7INZmZxG9YymzHeJWBDhNBu1k73A3HePek47xuftbMvC7BLWsSqe8U0JhqRVPe9jCWgYWNqdnsEOwEXQDqwOUQiqAq3LP2cuqvSrC6EsWJ2FKqHZqS97ccZC4oEF2D5ieFeYnTjL-hAsfClbI5OrgUH80GUMqcAlN1aXTc2t3FQGAEV-AlYoiSbZFjv5x" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="" data-original-height="677" data-original-width="948" height="286" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEj7INZmZxG9YymzHeJWBDhNBu1k73A3HePek47xuftbMvC7BLWsSqe8U0JhqRVPe9jCWgYWNqdnsEOwEXQDqwOUQiqAq3LP2cuqvSrC6EsWJ2FKqHZqS97ccZC4oEF2D5ieFeYnTjL-hAsfClbI5OrgUH80GUMqcAlN1aXTc2t3FQGAEV-AlYoiSbZFjv5x=w400-h286" width="400" /></a></div><br />First up I present the hypothetical Recce Regiment the 9th/12th Lancers.

A target for next year! As this project was started prior to COVID, I'd like to claim the Overdue Section Bonus :)<p></p><p>Next onto the parade ground I have the 1st Hannoverian Brigade from the 1815 version of the British 3rd Divison. Accompanied by the Brigade commander and the associated skirmisher stands for the rules we use. Again, all made up with the brilliant Baccus miniatures. </p><p>This Brigade was made up of the field battalions of the Hannoverian army. Most of the soldiers were professionals who had been fighting in either one of the armies for a lot of the war. The Hannoverian army was also strengthened, in 1814, by a cadre of officers and NCOs transferred over from the KGL as it returned from the Peninsula. All in all, this meant that this Brigade was in the thick of the fighting for most of the battles of Quatre Bras and Waterloo, giving a very good account of themselves throughout. </p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEhQXxfFWQmYHYg9I-WAy-fvUokp60gwk02YRwnIU-EeCTd3YeZSQwHhhr88Y66TKn-3Q627nKXlugRn6RSJNPLHpPUdGW1fnaQMBpaZHFvQA24zqMB0gxbPGu2X-fLjiPCNyM5FKFtzRxK0FjSPO3vR_FpaPhJH3_wnYrlj1EyRGZGTZAY4DtUdRviNf8_A" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="" data-original-height="384" data-original-width="666" height="231" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEhQXxfFWQmYHYg9I-WAy-fvUokp60gwk02YRwnIU-EeCTd3YeZSQwHhhr88Y66TKn-3Q627nKXlugRn6RSJNPLHpPUdGW1fnaQMBpaZHFvQA24zqMB0gxbPGu2X-fLjiPCNyM5FKFtzRxK0FjSPO3vR_FpaPhJH3_wnYrlj1EyRGZGTZAY4DtUdRviNf8_A=w400-h231" width="400" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEizPcW99pxUoA8cA9O-WAQPvX5Ojirvx_hCTNRJNi6dQGDQSl15zBFARDQFuzsKjLsveaqt5Cm-JYA-Cqp_Ls5ZcvaH0BbiEegG7NAS9G9ZgziXUFBSlV2KC6lsVQ8mXK5aw9zurreP7-XdbGCpdob660Mdnw3V4cgxTxcZhkUqXuCGcD260HV54SInU6Qo" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="" data-original-height="434" data-original-width="743" height="234" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEizPcW99pxUoA8cA9O-WAQPvX5Ojirvx_hCTNRJNi6dQGDQSl15zBFARDQFuzsKjLsveaqt5Cm-JYA-Cqp_Ls5ZcvaH0BbiEegG7NAS9G9ZgziXUFBSlV2KC6lsVQ8mXK5aw9zurreP7-XdbGCpdob660Mdnw3V4cgxTxcZhkUqXuCGcD260HV54SInU6Qo=w400-h234" width="400" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEiOoioD8NR8PMV2EL5WzxJ3yeWsbiszdt4uaJOjf_wJGU1jY-SxtseQfViQvfPUwhoil8toY6A_fHw1vBMfOz_qoq2dRy-ToUf62_-EiocJc_e_5kkP4-tSeL8ybGbLpG2cq_sEttZyCeMELlHJvxqLFo8c13Qtq9t3lTVC1LV7By2kMcCX4624F8sNeTdz" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="" data-original-height="350" data-original-width="800" height="175" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEiOoioD8NR8PMV2EL5WzxJ3yeWsbiszdt4uaJOjf_wJGU1jY-SxtseQfViQvfPUwhoil8toY6A_fHw1vBMfOz_qoq2dRy-ToUf62_-EiocJc_e_5kkP4-tSeL8ybGbLpG2cq_sEttZyCeMELlHJvxqLFo8c13Qtq9t3lTVC1LV7By2kMcCX4624F8sNeTdz=w400-h175" width="400" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEgHv0SG_LQ0WIT4_-VvPD-qFsxVFE5cAFkbpHnhmEuawqeOvGLURNswQHatg0e9qUCxC4xiV7NvAuGazMf5RleZSli6CXLkAs1nehgQsM2pnO6mEVliPIe4DEaVP6YveSjgW5H4ayWht5ccj6vQSRpKS5yZrUZMhNo1W1VuJg7-JKOhKW-AwCEiRtmKaACX" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="" data-original-height="462" data-original-width="697" height="265" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEgHv0SG_LQ0WIT4_-VvPD-qFsxVFE5cAFkbpHnhmEuawqeOvGLURNswQHatg0e9qUCxC4xiV7NvAuGazMf5RleZSli6CXLkAs1nehgQsM2pnO6mEVliPIe4DEaVP6YveSjgW5H4ayWht5ccj6vQSRpKS5yZrUZMhNo1W1VuJg7-JKOhKW-AwCEiRtmKaACX=w400-h265" width="400" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEiIr7P3PObYIDOXoq9EmWTQmUTnoTHCYcMxxn2o4NskmBk7kVzvUSN2mpH1ZAN35puk11XfAGDJ0EhozeEvHev1JMXFHbIAzr-gCx06eNKli-JmpmXi2_WnhleZomB5_yu27B41rYQgRyUDJObZiibslqBdNEDcTLbIbWX78cLDBzAZWPGqk3RpPLIT9ZxW" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="" data-original-height="844" data-original-width="789" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEiIr7P3PObYIDOXoq9EmWTQmUTnoTHCYcMxxn2o4NskmBk7kVzvUSN2mpH1ZAN35puk11XfAGDJ0EhozeEvHev1JMXFHbIAzr-gCx06eNKli-JmpmXi2_WnhleZomB5_yu27B41rYQgRyUDJObZiibslqBdNEDcTLbIbWX78cLDBzAZWPGqk3RpPLIT9ZxW=w373-h400" width="373" /></a></div><br />I had also hoped to get the final KGL Brigade painted in the last week.

An army based on the Spanish who fought against Carthage and Rome from the 250BCs onwards. The hope is that I'll be able to play them in one of our local themed DBA days later in the summer. The figures are all from Forged in Battle, and I have had them in the lead pile for a while now, so I'm happy to have gotten some paint on them eventually 😀</p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both;

I cannot wait for winter again and the start of Challenge XV!! Perhaps next year I'll have a painting streak and be able to best my personal goal of achieving a top 10 finish 😀</p><p>Also thanks again to all my fellow Challengers. It has been great to tune in and be inspired by your painting and thank you all again for the comments on my entries. It's super motivational to read them all. </p><p>TTFN, and see you for the round ups! </p><p>Ed 😀</p><p><i><br /></i></p><p><i>Some fine sprinting here I'd say Ed! Nice to see the Cold War vehicles and figures (well done on the camo btw!) contrasted to your very colourful Spanish 15mm. Good to hear that good old DBA is still getting some love also. I am very impressed by your Hanoverian troops though, it is really a great sight to see them all lined up together, and I liked the little background history as well. I think your calculations are spot on, although the spreadsheet says 358. We'll see how it shows up. Meanwhile, I am sure we all very much appreciated what you produced during the Challenge and are looking forward to meeting again next winter (when I hope you will remember to add your labels too ;-)! </i></p><p><i>Martijn</i></p><p><i><br /></i></p><p><br /></p>E Gilheadhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03734915696230386124noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1391427662737871662.post-90659330984188530732024-03-18T10:30:00.001-06:002024-03-18T10:30:00.134-06:00 From Kerry T: A final post -Do you hear that thunder?

I can definitely hear that thunder, what a great cavalcade to end your Challenge, Kerry. Fabulous work, I really like how you achieve such variety while somehow still binding these units together. They look absolutely resplendent with their flags and banners flying high, surely a grace for any wargames army. As such, well I am not going to begrudge you your Literature bonus, French gendarmes are indeed pretty high brow. The cat hunter is an amazing figure, you managed to capture the cat face really well. Is it just my imagination or is she seriously staring down on us mere humans? Anyway, she is a very fine figure to conclude your Challenge with.

I really like the Blackshirts in their "nightcaps", but I am equally impressed with your creativity in assembling your weapons teams. Also, I think your bases look very good indeed. All in all a great addition to your force. Having left this poor minion to find out the exact composition of the entry for himself, I do think your calculations are right so another 155 points for you.

To my eye, they look excellent! Their un-uniformed look (is that a word) fits nice with their mercenary background, but you have still managed to have certain uniformity with them - the basing of course goes a long way to that direction. There is so much to like, painting the lace, all the consistency in the highlights and selection of tones of colours in general. Good job!</i></p>Codstickerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02899018919527308863noreply@blogger.com7
