Final regular posts for the AHPC!

Hoi,

Yesterday the final duo of regular posts for the AHPC have gone online. I decided to go out with a bang and post two point-bombs in order to gain my 1500 points target. One could use the links below to see these.

Post 1 Napoleonic Points bomb


Post 2 Star Wars Points bomb


Equally happy with finishing all of these mini's, painted over a longer stretch of time, I can now conclude the Challenge. I am contemplating whether I would like to enter the last bonus round theme or not since the deadline is due tomorrow already... perhaps I will.

A more complete round-up of this year's Challenge will follow later, since I am pretty much convinced that Curt will ask us to write up a "all miniatures painted during the Challenge post" after the final conclusion of the event itself.

In the meantime, the latest batch of miniatures for my Dark Ages Dux Britanniarum project arrived from the Beast yesterday so I am over my head in Anglo-Saxons, Norsemen and Carolingians more on those later as well!

Cheers Sander

Banzai!

Hoi,

Today brings you, what I think might be an unexpected, surprise! I have quite a lot of boxes of Zvezda Samurai lying about and I finally got round painting some of them. Inspired by a colourscheme done by the much esteemed Mister Charles Murton, of "In Her Majesty's Name"-fame, for his new Daisho game. Since I never had a clear view as to what I wanted to do with all the mini's I have lying around I figured I'd try out painting some and take it from there.

A group shot:


The spear-armed Ashigaru:


The musket armed gents:

Archers:


The work of mister Cartmell and Murton doesn't limit itself to figures they're very talented terrain Senseis as well and I had a go at some fences made from bamboo sushi rolling mats.


Not sure whether I will finish this project any time soon, it's more of a trial project but it sure was fun painting something else than my usual fare.

Cheers Sander
