AHPC 11 - Rocky Scatter Terrain

 

For my second entry into the 11th Challenge I thought I'd get some terrain done.

I bought these Woodlands Scenics plaster cliff faces, from a Railway shop in Chatham. 

They were only a few quid each.

They're based on some spare bases I got cut from Warbases.

To paint them, I first run them under a tap for a few seconds as plaster is very porus. This allowed the inks and paints to flow free, rather than dry instantly as it soaked into the plaster.

Then slapped on various black, brown and grey inks. and other greys, brown and greens

using watered down paint.

Gotta admit, I didn't think they'd look this good?

I originally bought them as I was looking for some scatter terrain to fill out a small table for some Donnybrook FIW games I put on via Zoom last year. But just couldn't find the time to get them done.

These are some 25mm Native Americans, shown just for scale.

And are these 15mm Natives, just for scale. I think they work quite well for both scales

Now the hard bit......the points.

Placing the 3 biggest on top of each other makes approx 2 x  6' boxes

with the 3 smaller pieces making approx 1 x 6' box, I think?

So I'd guess at 3 boxes, which equals 60 points?

Which was kinda agreed by Capt Minion!

2020 Xmas Haul

 

I think I did rather well over Christmas?

13 packs of Trent Miniatures with a few packs of spare heads!!

These of course are for my Haitian Revolution adventure, the plan is to get these painted up during

the Analogue Hobbies Painting Challenge? Fingers crossed!!

There are a few British Cavalry units, which look very different to the ones you'd expect, can't wait to get them painted up.

My only other wargaming esq pressie was Every Bullet Has Its Billet by Barry Hilton, from 

Helion & Company. I've only had a quick flick at the moment, but very much like what I see!

One thing I will say though, I was pleasantly surprised by its size, its not the normal Osprey sized Helion book we've all come to now and love, but its more magazine sized, which helps my ever dodgy eyes. no end!

 

AHPC 11 - Haitian Rebel Standard

 

My duck is broken, I've managed to get my first entry into the 11th Analogue Hobbies Painting Challenge before the end of the year, but its only a tiddler.

I had a spare Haitian Rebel/Slave figure, so chopped off his sword and drilled and pinned a flagpole.

As for the flag, there is a reference online saying the Slaves carried a flag of a Moor head on a white field in 1790.  https://www.crwflags.com/fotw/flags/ht-hist.html

I'm sure I got the flag from Stuart on Dust, Tears & Dice Blog, but I may have found it online?

Can't remember?

Oh well, should be a massive 5 points! But the Snowlord gave me an extra point, making 6 in total.
