From BruceR Hall of Heros (30 pts)

         After beaching the Tug, the party moves into the Hall of Heroes and is greeted by another contingent of the Movember Crew.  Only a hero can sport such "Marvelous Mustaches" and thus the heroes of the chamber. The two guide the party through the hall and beyond leaving us with some thoughtful words as we continue our investigation of the Chambers.

"What you need to remember Gentlemen, is that monkeys can be troublesome for the expedition cook, but apes are a distinct hazard for the radio operator under all circumstances." 

The figure are great fun to paint and I'll use them in any number of adventure style scenarios.  

With that I've cleaned up a batch of Pulp Figure British Army Tropical Rifles to supplement the sailors back at the Tug. Hope to get to them, which could be difficult as we went above freezing (here in the south of the Great White North) for the first time in 28 days.  Painting could be "challenged". 

Stay well.

2 28mm 10 points + Chamber 20 pts = 30 pts total.

From BruceR 28mm Polish Line Light Horse Lancers (90 pts)

Work has kicked up slowing the painting process.

 Here are my French allies for my Sharp Practice 2 force.  After a lockdown Brunswick challenge earlier in the year my British allies received cavalry I needed to do the same for the French.  We traveled to the Twin cities for a bolt action smashup in late 2019 and this was one of the prizes and I snapped them up having more WW2 than needed.  

The miniatures are Warlord Games and plastic with metal heads with czapka.  I've used a slightly lighter blue for table appeal.  My aversion to plastic remains.  The figures require more highlighting so more time.  I paint horses separate from the riders and this keeps me  from hating the horses too much.  Airbrush, Army Painter wash, highlight and done.  

This is my second submission of cavalry and without the airbrush would not happen.  Also living in the great white north the ability to prime and basecoat in doors (with a hood) keeps painting running.  

Excited to pounce on some green jacketed rifles.  

Don't look now, but more primed horses in the back ground.  Some Gaulish nobles?  Maybe get to them for Infamy Infamy.

I love the character of Sharp Practice leaders so dubbed him Lt. Theodore (Teddy) Taszarek after my spouses maiden name and father.  I thought about grabbing the ancestor room, but have another thought on that theme.  

Hmm, are these from Bob Murch as they have mustaches to rival the Movember figures I've submitted and intend to paint/submit.  

So, 9 x 10 = 90 pts.

Thanks all.

BruceR Level 2 the "Hatchery" (27 pts)

 On to the next level in the Chambers of Challenges.  Hmm, looking for some monster or egg released dragon and coming up with nothing from the lead pile.  I spot an old Games Workshop familiar and it hit me "Alien".  So break out the milliput and the texture stamp for another base.  Instead of an egg the "it" has to come from a body and I'm not a big gore person so what next.  The Bob Murch Movember collection is staring at me so introducing Lord Lippenbrush from the collection.  and....

While the intrepet adventurers delve deeper into the chambers one of the members, Rashid, falls ill, after some rest and water all seems well.  All of a sudden Rashid collapses and eeck this litte creature of bone and fangs erupts from his chest and takes his head off, while scurring into the shadows. "Bloody Hell" Lord Lippenbrush draws his revolver to put paid to this little scurge lurking in the shadows.

Wanting to use Lord Lippenbrush in other games his base is given my standard basing.  The creature is coated in minwax for a slime effect and the base again is my Flagstone from Happy Seppuku Stamp. The head is from Wargames Atlantic Afghan Warriors.  (maybe I should be in the squirrel challenge) :)

Here is Lord Lippenbrush on his own.

Chamber Challenge (Hatchery) 20 pts + Lord Lippenbush (28mm) 5 pts + familiar (15mm) 2 pts = 27 pts?
