AHPC16 - Last Post - Greek Mythology - Heracles & Chums!

 



Well I stared this years Challenge with some Jason and the Argonauts figures.....and I'm ending it with the same.


Well not actually the same figures, but more from Wargames Foundry's range.


I painted them up again, in the same black armour that Foundry painted their's.


Here we have the Mighty Heracles, who's a very large chap, in the middle its Canthus the Euboen and Ascalaphus.


Then we have Lynceus, Peleus the Myrmidon and Idas.



Then we have 5 more Children of the Hydra


Although I got a different figure in my pack, a left handed spearman!!


I'm pretty sure my Nephew Zac's gonna love them!!


Its his Birthday at the end of the month, I've bought him some Victrix Greek's, so look out for them on my blog soon.



I took a few shots of the figures having a fight....as you do?




So this is it, my final post of the 16th Challenge, the points are pretty easy to work out on this one.
11x 25mm figures at 5 points each will give me 55 points!

AHPC16 - DaveD's Favourite! Sandbags at 12 paces!!!

 


As I previously mentioned the Challenge is now over and this is another catch up post from last month.


DaveD and other always rib me over Sandbags, so as for the fist time in any Challenge I've painted WWII figures, I thought I'd have some sandbags!!!


I only bought these last week on Etsy, from The Forge Hub. They were only £3.41 plus postage. So I can't complain about the price at all.


They were very easy to paint up, firstly with a stone colour, the drybrush white.


I wasn't going to base them, but last night thought again. I used artists card and cut out the shapes needed and them based them up in my usual way.


I'm very pleased with them and can't wait to use them in a game.


Once again I'm not really sure how they'll be scored, so I'll leave that up whichever Minion has the job.

AHPC 16 - Roar!!!! 32/40mm??

 


Just a small post for today, which was a late entry in the closing days of the Challenge.

I bought this furry hap last year and thought he could come in handy.


He's a 3D print and I'm sorry to say, I can't remember what the name of the company was that I bought him from. Only that it was at the Warfare Show in Farnborough last November.


Here he is standing next to a poor Fin, who she's eyeing up for breakfast.
And note I called her a her, I have been lambasted before about painting up female bears!


She will be deployed not only in Finland, but close to the Berezina attacking both French and Russians in the Retreat from Moscow.


Not sure of the points for this young lady, as I'm not sure of her scale?
