One of my favourite posts from last years Challenge was by Paul Scrivens-Smith, he posted some Napoleonic Scientists from Brigade Games in the US.
Yes he is using a 3 inch brush to write his notes before anyone says anything?
Paul was living in the states at the time and offered to purchase the figures for me as he was heading back to blighty shortly. Paul got me these fine looking fellows as well as some other bits and bobs from Brigade Games.
Like Paul's figures, the table and other equipment all come from the WizzKids Range
In 1798 Napoleon headed for Egypt taking with him 160 scientists, engineers and artists to study the wonders of Egypt. My figures will head the other way over to Haiti, to study the stars and local fauna.
They are all of course Doctors of Astronomy, Biology and Naturalism.
All very Strange indeed!
So they fit in perfect with planet Skaro/Strange Doctors theme. Now I've completed 4 planets on the outer ring I'd like to head for Cybertron.
4 x 25mm figures @5pts = 20pts
Table and equipment 5pts
Skaro Bonus 20pts
So 45 pts in total!
Nice work. Great subject matter.
