AHPC 9 Reconnaissance Bonus Round - He went that way......



Its Bonus round time again, Curt seems to bamboozle me each year with his choices for
bonus rounds and this year is no different!
I always try and use figures I already have or I can use in any of the periods
I already own. Luckily I already had these figures in my unpainted pile.
The figures are from Redoubt Enterprises' Scout pack, with 1 addition, the chap with the white face.


 Obviously as they're a scout pack, the fellows would have been sent out to recon
the area or track their enemy, but they can always be used as normal warrior models and
will be added to my big box of Native American Indians for Donnybrook.


I really like these Redoubt figures, they're so full of life and character.
I tried out Army Painter Strong Tone on these.
Its a bloody godsend to be honest.
I shall be using this a lot more often from now on.


30 points for the figures 5 x 6
and 50 points for the bonus round bonus.
Grand total of 80 points!
If you'd like to vote for these fine looking fellows or another of the fab entries, you have 
until this Saturday. Just click the link here

AHPC9 Donnybrook - Boobs!



 Happy New Year everyone!!!
Welcome to my first post of 2019.

Its Analogue Hobbies Painting Challenge time once again.
My first entry into this years Challenge and I'm off with a Bang!!

I tried to think of a better title for this post, but all I could come up with was Boobs? So apologies to all you ladies out there.

These luvvly ladies were undercoated for last years Challenge but never made it on the table. I wish I'd held off on them, I could have used them for the Sport Bonus round!!!

Naughty, naughty Raymond!!!!


These will of course be used sometime or another in a Donnybrook game, rescue the poor damsel in distress kinda thing, although some of them don't really look in distress at all?!?
Four are from GZG Gentleman's Collectibles range while the other two are from a forgotten
manufacturer?


These ladies move me up to No 36 on the chart!

Merry Xmas 2018


Can't believe its nearly Christmas again, it only seems like a few months since the last??

Wishing all my readers and pals a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.
I hope Father Christmas fills your stockings with loads of lead!!


The Christmas card above was sent 100 years ago by one of the First World War’s most heroic tank officers Elliot Hotblack. He sent the simple card from ‘Advance Headquarters Tank Corps’ in December 1917, presumably to his parents in Norfolk.It includes a print of a crewman waving his cap from a Mark IV tank beneath the words “Christmas Greetings”.
