From JohnE: 28mm Napoleonic Gothic Horror [Fantasy] (110 Points)

Well, here it is - the final post of this year, and I think I fell 5 points short of my goal. Not surprising, it's more stuff for The Silver Bayonet. There's a troll here in the mix so asking for Fantasy bonus points.

Cheers everyone!

Up first, a troll from Reaper. I have no idea how that lower mandible is supposed to function.

 

 

 

 

Next, the Bandits and Army Deserters packs from North Star. These were fun to paint. Lots of character here.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Calling back to the beginning of The Challenge, here's the rest of my wolf pack. Most of these are from Bad Squiddo.

 

 

 

 

 

And finally, a pair of vampires from North Star. Love the hair.

 
 

 

 

 

 

 

 

As they say in the Challenge Studios, "that's a wrap!" Thanks to all for the lovely comments along the way, and I wish you all the best in 2023 and beyond.

Points Summary

17x 28mm foot @ 5 points = 85 points

Fantasy (Blue Pass) bonus = 20 points

Total = 105 points

Friday Minion troll bonus +5

Grand Total = 110 Points!

Friday Minion: Well that troll's a big fella, 5 points seems a bit stingy to me, if we score him at a more generous 10, that means you just squeak up to your finish line. Congrats John!

Great stuff once again, that pack of wolves looks scary, and the characterful bandits and deserters for Silver Bayonet came out brilliantly, even if the posies are a bit unimaginative.

Great to have you with us in AHPC Studios once again John, see you next year!

From JohnE: 28mm German Motorcycles [Under Construction] (95 Points)

 Part 1 of the final push. These bikes have been on and off the workbench since 2020, so I'm going for the "Under Construction" bonus here. The kits and stowage are from Rubicon, and there are some Warlord heads in there. I believe the dismounted NCO is from Warlord as well.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Points Summary

4x 28mm mounted @ 10 points = 40 points

7x 28mm foot @ 5 points = 35 points

Under Construction (Green Pass) bonus = 20 points

Total = 95 points

Friday Minion: Great to have you back John, and glad you've got these finished well in time for Adepticon. Surely everyone appreciates the recce, I hope their first game they get absolutely destroyed by the valiant Danes. Superb work on the detailing (is that a BMW symbol I spy?) and that comedically large iron cross around the NCO's next. And nice framing of the photos too, pootling past church. Great stuff. 

From JohnE - 28mm Napoleonic Horror - (65 Points)

My son and I have been enjoying The Silver Bayonet so much that I've been trying to crank out as much as I can to support that before either, or both of us, suffer from "shiny object syndrome". Here we have some Goblins from North Star, some zombies from the Eureka French Revolution range, and some Revenants from North Star.

New this week - I've improved lighting my photography subjects, but need to work on position and focus. Enjoy the crisp images of the bases...
