AHPC 14 - French Grenadiers & a Mad Monk

 


This post is a tad delayed, see previous post for the reasons!!!

For my second entry into Challenge 14, I've entered the Library with 2 entries.


The first is a Dark Age Welsh Priest, holding a wooden cross, from The Miniatures Company, sold by Eureka UK.


Ok, he's Welsh from the Dark Ages, but I think he could and will fit into many other periods.


New Acquisitions: Give us something brand new and shiny.
He's a new figure, I bought him at Partizan in October, I knew he'd come in handy for the Challenge!

Next up we have another Library visit.....


History: In the AHPC Library History is not written by the victors, but by our painters!
This was probably the easiest visit ever to any of the bonus rounds. As anything I paint could go here!


So its back to the late 1600's for some Wargames Foundry French Grenadiers.


They were a doddle to paint up and will add a little colour to my Donnybrook collection.


So to the points 

Monk 5 pts + 20 bonus points = 25pts
8 x Grenadiers - 40 pts + 20 bonus points = 60pts
For a total of  85pts

  4. Lovely work. Thanks for your posts on your recovery. Seems a lot of blogger friends had caught or discovered a malady of late. The monk looks lonely, perhaps a visit to the monastery is In order.

  7. Nice work Ray, really like the dragoons, very nicely done on classic figures. The Welsh priest ain't half bad either!
